15. Nature of Minds / B. Features of Minds / 1. Consciousness / b. Essence of consciousness

24016	Consciousness always transcends itself [Sartre]
	Full Idea: It is of the essence of consciousness to transcend itself
	From: Jean-Paul Sartre (Sketch for a Theory of the Emotions [1939], §III)
	A reaction: As usual, I am a bit baffled by these sorts of pronouncement. Sounds like an oxymoron to me. Maybe it is a development of Schopenhauer's thought.
