22770 | A person is a being which is aware of its own self-directed and free subjectivity [Hegel] |
Full Idea: A person is a subject which is aware of its subjectivity, for as a person, I am completely for myself: the person is the individuality of freedom in pure being-for-itself. | |
From: Georg W.F.Hegel (Elements of the Philosophy of Right [1821], 035 add) | |
A reaction: Sartre's being 'pour-soi'. Presumably the freedom is for action as well as thought. He ignores Spinoza's claim that such freedom is just an illusion. |
