The world’s meaningful organization arises from the For-itself’s upsurge

Evidence

“There is” (il y a). Used by Sartre to indicate that the world and objects exist as a world and as objects rather than as meaningless, undifferentiated Being-in-itself. The “there is” results, of couse from the upsurge into Being on the part of the For-itself. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 1525

Categorization

• DEFINE: Explains how the ‘there is’ of a meaningful world is caused by the For-itself, not by Being-in-itself.
• XREF: Connects to phenomenology’s question of world-constitution and anticipates the nihilation at the core of the for-itself developed across earlier chapters. — connects to: The world’s instrumental organization depends partly on constituting consciousness; The for-itself constitutes the world’s totality through radical negation
• yield-rescued: below the book’s yield-target cutoff, included anyway for connecting to: The world’s instrumental organization depends partly on constituting consciousness; The for-itself constitutes the world’s totality through radical negation
