Sartre says the ego is 'opaque'; I prefer to say that it is 'transparent' [Chisholm]
     Full Idea: Sartre says the ego is 'opaque'; I would think it better to say that the ego is 'transparent'.
     From: Roderick Chisholm (Person and Object [1976], 1.8)
     A reaction: Insofar as we evidently have a self, I would say it is neither. It is directly experienced, through willing, motivation, and mental focus.
