*Being (être): Including both Being-in-itself and Being-for-itself (both as defined below), but the latter is the nihilation of the former. Being is objective, not subjective or individual.
*[[Being in itself#Being-in-itself for Sartre|Being-in-itself]] (''être-en-soi''): Non-conscious Being. The sort of phenomenon that is greater than the knowledge that we have of it.
*Being-for-itself (''être-pour-soi''): The nihilation of Being-in-itself; consciousness conceived as a lack of Being, a desire for Being, a relation of Being. The For-itself brings Nothingness into the world and therefore can stand out from Being and form attitudes towards other beings by seeing what it is not.
*Being-for-others (''être-pour-autrui''): Here a new dimension arises in which the self exists as an object for others. Each For-itself seeks to recover its own Being by making an object out of the other.
*Consciousness: The transcending For-itself. Sartre states that "Consciousness is a being such that in its being, its being is in question insofar as this being implies a being other than itself."
*[[Existence]]: Concrete, individual being-for-itself here and now.
*[[Existence precedes essence]]. The subjective existence of reality precedes and defines its nature. Who you are (your essence) is defined by what you do (your existence).
*[[Facticity]] (''facticité''): Broadly, facts about the world. More precisely, the For-itself's necessary connection with the In-itself, with the world and its own past.
*Freedom: The very being of the For-itself which is "condemned to be free". It must forever choose for itself and therefore make itself.
*Nothingness (''néant''): Although not having being, it is supported by being. It comes into the world by the For-itself.
*[[self-reflection|Reflection]] (''reflet''): The form in which the For-itself founds its own nothingness through the dyad of "the-reflection-reflecting"
*Reflection (''réflexion''):The consciousness attempting to become its own object.
