Temporality is an internal structure of the For-itself, not external to it

Evidence

Temporality is not a universal time containing all beings and in particular human realities. Neither is it a law of development which is imposed on being from without. Nor is it being. But it is the intra-structure of the being which is its own nihilation—that is, the mode of being peculiar to being-for-itself. The For-itself is the being which has to be its being in the diasporatic form of Temporality. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 485

• XREF: Direct preparation for Beauvoir’s account of time and situated freedom in The Ethics of Ambiguity. — connects to: Temporality is the necessary horizon for the for-itself’s transcendence; Temporal succession is a uniting division, not sheer separation; Temporality exists only as the intra-structure of the For-itself, which temporalizes itself. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness: An Essay on…, 471 (+9 more)
