The world’s perceived order always implies a center that we are yet cannot objectify

Evidence

For example, in a perspective scheme the eye is the point toward which all the objective lines converge. Thus the perceptive field refers to a center objectively defined by that reference and located in the very field which is oriented around it. Only we do not see this center as the structure of the perceptive field considered; we are the center. Thus the order of the objects in the world perpetually refers to us the image of an object which on principle can not be an object for us since it is what we have to be. The structure of the world demands that we can not see without being visible. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 855

• XREF: This is the for-itself’s non-positional self-reference — connects to the reader’s systematic backdrop interest and anticipates Merleau-Ponty’s embodied perception and the chiasm. — connects to: Social categories both order the world and define the self’s place in it; Capital’s missing center still gets posited because what exists cannot take responsibility — Mark Fisher, Capitalist Realism: Is There No…, 138
• yield-rescued: below the book’s yield-target cutoff, included anyway for connecting to: Social categories both order the world and define the self’s place in it; Capital’s missing center still gets posited because what exists cannot take responsibility — Mark Fisher, Capitalist Realism: Is There No…, 138
