20. Consciousness, she argues, ‘like it or not’ is embodied (see E. Fullbrook and K. Fullbrook, Simone de Beauvoir: A Critical Introduction [Cambridge: Polity Press, 1998], p. 60), and her work shows the - not always successful - attempt to balance the transcendent and immanent aspects of human life.
21. The ‘for-itself’ in Sartre's terminology is a being with the capacity for transcendence: the existentialist individual. The ‘in-itself’ in Sartrean terminology is immanent being- the world, physical existence. See, e.g., Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness (trans. H.E. Barnes; London: Methuen, 1969 [1943]), p. 309.
