Abstract
Abstract Sartre’s obscure but evocative remarks on bodily awareness are often quoted, but the author argues, they have rarely been understood. This chapter seeks to bring the connection between Sartre’s views on bodily awareness and his more general distinction between “positional” and “nonpositional” consciousness. Sartre’s main claim about bodily awareness, the author suggests, is that one’s primary awareness of one’s own body is a form of nonpositional consciousness. The author argues that Sartre is right about this, and that he is right to think that recognizing this point is crucial to understanding what it is for something to be one’s own body.
