SARTRE: There is an element of mediation in consciousness. You call it negativity, in Hegelian terms. It is a nothingness which touches consciousness, it is an immediacy which is not completely immediate, while nevertheless remaining immediate. That is exactly it.

HYPPOLITE: That is the living dialectical contradiction.

SARTRE: Yes, but given without movement. There is not another movement. In other words, I would like to suggest that there is no innocence; there is neither innocence nor sin. And that is properly to speak of man, precisely because man must become his being. All negativity, all mediation, all guilt, all innocence, all truth, must appear. But this is not to say that he must create all of himself. But, appearing in the world, it is not man who is in himself all of his categories, for that man he will never find in the world.

HYPPOLITE: The only thing which is possible is the en-soi. That is what you say.

SARTRE: I add again, that this possibility is only achieved when it realizes itself. (p. 89)
