According to Sartre, bad-faith emerges while denying that the :

  • A.self is a subject, while the other is an object
  • B.self is an object, while the other is a subject
  • C.self and other are both subjects and objects
  • D.self and other are neither subjects nor objects

Answer: C

The key gives self and other are both subjects and objects.

For Sartre, a human being is both transcendence (a free subject) and facticity (an object, including an object for others' look). Bad faith is a lie to oneself that denies one side of this double reality: treating oneself as a mere thing, like the waiter playing at being a waiter, or as pure freedom with no facts.

Options A and B describe one-sided relations of the look, which are not the denial bad faith involves, and D denies both sides altogether.
