[[Human ]] [[subjectivity ]] or what we call [[existence ]] involves this constant [[process ]] of projecting oneself out on to the [[world ]] and into the [[future]]. For [[Heidegger]], therefore, human [[consciousness ]] is not an inner world of [[thoughts ]] and [[images ]] but a constant process of projecting [[outside]], or what he called 'ex-sistence'.
The [[Other ]] is believed to [[experience ]] a level of [[enjoyment ]] beyond our own experience. The important point here is that this unfailing [[jouissance ]] does not [[exist]]:
[I]t insists as an [[ideal]], an [[idea]], a possibility [[thought ]] permits us to envision. In [[[Lacan]]'s] terminology, it 'ex-sists': it persists and makes its claims felt with a certain [[insistence ]] from the outside, as it were. Outside in the [[sense ]] that it is not a [[wish ]] [[[desire]]], 'Let's do that again!' but, rather, 'Isn't there something else you could do, something different you could try?'
