Evidence means the immediate in-person presence of psychic objects in reflection

Evidence

We shall use the term evidence for the immediate presence “in person” of hate, exile, systematic doubt in the reflective For-itself. … To be convinced that this presence exists, it is enough to call to mind cases in our own personal experience when we have tried to recall a dead love or a certain intellectual atmosphere which we had lived at an earlier date. On such occasions we had plainly a consciousness of aiming in emptiness at these various objects. We could form particular concepts of them, attempt a literary description of them, but we knew that they were not there. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 537
