Establishing knowledge requires abandoning its primacy over being

Evidence

We said that consciousness is the knowing being in his capacity as being and not as being known. This means that we must abandon the primacy of knowledge if we wish to establish that knowledge. Of course consciousness can know and know itself. But it is in itself something other than a knowledge turned back upon itself. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 128
