Abstract
The post-existential subject is no longer solitary, but a relational being who constructs their consciousness not on the remnants of their autonomous subjectivity, but on the transition toward relating themselves to the possibility of reconciliation with the Other. The post-existential projection of temporal experience attempts to lift consciousness out of its state of suffering in relation to temporal events and to integrate it into the abstract models of creativity, interaction, and expression, situated beyond the existential eschatological horizon.
