Space adds nothing to being but is continuously spatialized through the For-itself’s ekstatic temporalization

Evidence

The existence of space is the proof that the For-itself by causing being “to be there” adds nothing to being. Space is the ideality of the synthesis. In this sense it is at once totality to the extent that it derives its origin from the world, and at the same time nothing inasmuch as it results in the pullulation of the thises. Space does not allow itself to be apprehended by concrete intuition for it is not, but it is continuously spatialized. It depends on temporality and appears in temporality since it can come into the world only through a being whose mode of being is temporalization; for space is the way in which this being loses itself ekstatically in order to realize being. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 590

Categorization

• DEFINE: Key terminological clarification: space is ‘the ideality of the synthesis,’ a nothing that is continuously spatialized, dependent on temporality.
• XREF: The dependency of space on temporality prefigures and contrasts with what later phenomenology (e.g., spatiality in Merleau-Ponty) makes of space. — connects to: Motion emerges only for the For-itself as the temporal constitution of space — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness: An Essay on…, 643; Time is constituted by the For-itself’s nothingness rather than inhering in objects — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness: An Essay on…, 1524; Space is the nothingness of relation seized by a being that relates (+8 more)
