The for-whom does not break the instrumental chain of for-whats

Evidence

Of course the Worumwillen refers us to a structure of being which we have not yet elucidated; namely, the for-others. And the “for whom” constantly appears behind the instruments. But this “for whom,” whose constitution is different from the “for what” does not break the chain. It is simply one of the links; when it is confronted in the perspective of instrumentality, it does not allow an escape from the in-itself. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 619
