Spatialization and Being-Towards-Others
One occasionally finds oneself at a gathering, addressing all assembled. This activity entails a circumambient projection of what one has to say, thereby exemplifying Radial Spatialization. But, in fact, such Spatialization occurs in the event of all one's actions, though usually only implicitly, i. e. more frequently, one's focus is on a specific sector of the environment, and often one is oblivious to any of one's effects on it. Nevertheless, every move one makes has its circumambient consequences, and, so, always entails Spatialization. In Sartreian terms, explicit Spatialization can be formulated as 'Being-towards-others', an active process with respect to which his passive 'Being-for-others' is not merely a deficient, privative mode, but, because it entails an evasion of actively assuming a posture in relation to others, also seems to qualify as what he calls 'Bad Faith'.
