Hegelian Other-mediation marks the central early Beauvoir-Sartre divide

Evidence

I would argue that this is the essential point of separation between the early Sartre and Beauvoir. For Beauvoir, self-consciousness on the Hegelian model is mediated via the Other, whereas in Being and Nothingness Sartre cannot accept that the Other can determine me in my being-for-others. — Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb (eds.), Beauvoir and Sartre, 253
