Yeh ok a lot of that was for me bonkers but diving in and ploughing full ahead skimming what I could what landed in my brain and made sense, which was a small percentage, made it worth it.

"We wished only to show that there exists a specific consciousness of freedom, and we wished to show that this consciousness is anguish. This means that we wished to establish anguish in its essential structure as consciousness of freedom."

Not my cup of tea. Philosophy should be understandable, this text is incomprehensible.

Maybe if was downing absinthe with Sartre and his crew back in the forties when this was written, I would "get" it. As-is though, this is pretty hard to get through.
