This thinker wrote about a woman on a date, who pretends her hand doesn't exist when a man starts to hold it. This man preceded Laura Mulvey in using the example of spying through a keyhole to describe the objectifying "look" or "gaze" of the Other. This man correlated "facticity" and "transcendence" with the "in-itself" and the "for-itself."  He used the example of a waiter in a cafÃ© to illustrate "bad faith," and claimed in a lecture on his philosophy "as a Humanism" that "existence precedes essence," giving humans radical freedom to define themselves by choice. For 10 points, name this author of Being and Nothingness, a lover of Simone de Beauvoir and French existentialist.
