'what belongs to form you carry over into content'
    #8338732 - 04/28/08 06:35 PM (15 years, 9 months ago)

I'm currently reading 'Nausea' by Sartre, and this morning a passage struck me. I'd like to share it.


"This feeling of adventure definitly does not come from events: I have proved it. It's rather the way in which the moments are linked together. I think this is what happens: you suddenly feel that time is passing, that each instant leads to another, this one to another one, and so on; that each instant is annihilated, and that it isn't worth while to hold it back, etc., etc. And then you attribute this property to events which appear to you in the instants; what belongs to form you carry over into the content."

This is a wonderful explanation of the feeling of adventure, of being engaged with life, and of how it is not a matter of content but rather a sensation that one opens into. He further discusses how it is often a fleeting and random experience, unpredictable. This certainly resonates with my own experience.

Sounds Husserl-esque.

Well, existentialism directly descends from phenomenology, so that certainly makes sense. If I remember correctly, Sartre studied with Husserl for awhile too.

How far into The Nausea are you? I have the book, but I have not begun reading it yet. Is it worth reading?

I'm about 115 pages in. I think it's definitly worth reading. It's very stream-of-consciousness and there are long hauls where the narrator goes into unnecessary detail observing people on the street which is a bit dry but at the same time relevant to the point being made about people living in 'bad faith'. There is plenty of gold, including some very visceral descriptions of strange states of consciousness that I've experienced: the various elements of the existential crisis. It's an interesting and engaging way to explore Sartre's philosophy.

I dig this, it seems like a feeling I've had as well. The intuition that the Adventure is a lens, and to seek it and find it, is to gaze upon whatever's going down around you through the lens.

Yes! I like the way you put that.

I love that, and it also makes sense because it seems like children do this naturally.  Every aspect of reality can take on the form of an adventure or drama to a little kid...as I recall.  :tongue2:  They are just open to it.
