...At last, regrettably, I have found someone who affirms what I have long thought to be the case - that there is a link and a form of congruence between the world views and philosophy - in that order - of Nietzsche, Kant and Sartre.
A certain Prof. Downie no less. Some terribly wise guff about 'autonomous will, free but constrained by its essentially rational nature, becoming the totally unconstrained will creating its own values in arbitrarily free choice'. (Couldn't have put it better had I tried!)
This is deeply troubling to the mind naturally: for no longer can one simply muse that the matter might be so, that somehow it seems to fit - and take it as just a personal whimsical notion requiring no further investigation - one ought reasonably now seek to get to the bottom of it through some serious study.
As a thing-in-itself one presumes. Time for that last malt and a swift perusal of the library shelves!
