Nietzsche's point is that the thinker tries to think against what is generally accepted that they must always push the limits of their ideas. Perhaps, it isn't how he or Sarte felt but spoke so as a way of fulling their "office" as a thinker. It is a taxing way of life to live, when you are within your own head and working against your own thoughts and instincts.

@gautamkc Explain to me why he stopped thinking after "joining" Marxism, its clear that he was still developing his ideas well after 68
-
@gautamkc He embraced Marxism due to internal compulsion, not the external kind that Nietzsche speaks of there, and also abandoned it due to his thoughts changing, hence, more internal compulsion. He perpetually pursued life through manifestations of freedom, and being a staunch individual against all odds, always vigorously and with self-worth. Conversely, the person Nietzsche speaks of in that aphorism lacerates himself in the bondage of what is unworthy of him and merely saps him of fervour.

well, i think ur wrong
sartre didnt do the extreme opposite he did exactly as the thinker nietzsche is describing woould do
1) to pursue not the thoughts which offer themselves from within him but those to which an office, a prescribed schedule, an arbitrary kind of industriousness seem to oblige him-being and nothingness, whole of your life scheduled from nothingness to actuall being
2)he will fall sick-sartre joinig marxism that is, stop thinking

@zekal10 Good one, but not as absurd as Heidegger and Nazism. :)

@zekal10 Awesome

@TheSpiritualShow There are a few places you can look. I think the quotation they have in this video is from Bernard-Henri Lévy's (terrible) biography of Sartre, because it sounds familiar. And I think there are other times when he talks about it, in his essays, but I can't think of any of the specifics right now.

ABOUT SARTRE ON THE TERRORISME, IS THERE'S ANY LINK IN FRENCH OR ENGLISH? in what book or article was this published? anyone?
Sartre and Camus falling out? Now that's just Absurd.

"A thinker can for years on end force himself to think against the grain: that is to say, to pursue not the thoughts which offer themselves from within him but those to which an office, a prescribed schedule, an arbitrary kind of industriousness seem to oblige him. In the end, however, he will fall sick: for this apparently moral overcoming of himself will ruin his nervous energy just as thoroughly as any regularly indulged in excess could do." -- Nietzsche
Sartre did the extreme opposite.
