If this is the case, then in order for a consciousness to get the consciousness of being engaged in a “we,” it is necessary that the other consciousnesses which enter into community with it should be first given in some other way; that is, either in the capacity of a transcendence-transcending or as a transcendence-transcended. The “we” is a certain particular experience which is produced in special cases on the foundation of being-for-others in general. The being-for-others precedes and founds the being-with-others. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 1017 (
