Present: Infinitisemal moment, can't always be measured Instead thinking about presence through co-presencing with other things/other beings. We brings these things into the totality of the present.

[@yazanasad7811]

Future - lack - possibility (only a being with a for itself can have a future). Need to be present for there to be a future. Influenced by present possibilities. Present never matches future. Never as good. Creates disillusionment, existential angst.

[@yazanasad7811]

For itself - establishes unity between past and future. Ecstatic relation to past and future, unites time but also divides. To be what it is not and to not be what it is (uniting in the present)

[@yazanasad7811]

Impure reflection - for itself will try and see itself as an itself through the psyche/ego and try to pick one moment in the present as a total unity (this is who I am) while missing other presents moments.(Again to try and merge be itself and for itself) Interesting

[@yazanasad7811]

Sartre - tries to see past as influencing the present. Unidirectional. Can be abstract then. Lacan - present can influence the past. Past as open.

[@yazanasad7811]

Impure reflection compared to pure reflection whereby one looks at being itself through for itself and realises difference/lack. Tries to complete this by reflecting on being for itself to get to in itself, but it creates a double negation instead
