Yes Peter - that seems right. Only when you talk about "choice" Sartre come
to mind. And it seems that the pour-soi and the en-soi distinction is
necessary to distinguish the two "selves" we are talking about here. The
one which the choices make, the other which chooses and which choices cannot
make. Subject as the vanishing point of veiw, rather than as one object in
relation to others.
Re "Choosing systems". Hm. I don't like that phrase much - but it's
possible nothing really hangs on it.
G'day,
