Talk:ekstasis

"alternate definition" section

• 'alternate definition' is not a dictionary heading, but an encyclopedia heading
• the contents of this section are not a dictionary definition of the word ekstasis, but are an encyclopedic discussion of types of ekstasis. This is like describing individual breeds of dog under an "alternate definition" of dog.
• the very page cited gives a definition of ekstasis (viz "used in the original Greek sense of "standing out from"") not unlike the one already present.

Alternate Definition (removed section)

Taken from Being and Nothingness [1]

Three successive ekstasis by which the being-for-itself is seperated from its Self

1. temporality: The For-itself nihilates the In-itself in the three ways of past, present and future.
2. reflection: The For-itself tries to adopt an external point of view on itself
3. being-for-others: The For-itself discovers that it has a Self for-the-other, a Self which is, without ever being able to know or get a hold of.
