+====== Butler (1999) – a criança "lançada" no mundo ======
+For Sartre, the primary relation between the for-itself and its world is that of //distance//, and this distance is breached as consciousness submerges itself in its facticity. The embodiment of consciousness is itself a project in Sartrian terms. Consciousness knows itself primarily as a translucency only dimly aware of its own corporeal dimension. Alienation signifies the initial moment of consciousness’s journey toward self-recovery, a movement to recover oneself as flesh, that is, as a body essential to consciousness. Interestingly, this assumption of an initial estrangement between consciousness and body, whereby consciousness exists first and then acquires its own embodiment, contrasts sharply with common intuitive notions concerning child development which assert that the somatic dimension of the self is primary and that consciousness is an emergent phenomenon. In Sartre’s account, it is the body that follows upon consciousness. The child for Sartre does not appear to come into the world through flesh, but from an existential void; indeed, this child is not “delivered” but, in the Heideggerian sense, “thrown.”
