The work of late philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre offers us a trenchant example of a morally engaged and committed thinker at hard work willing to challenge his own ideas to their core as the moment demanded. In the age of the specific intellectual, Sartre’s vision of intellectual work foregrounds existential choice, human freedom, and the imaginary. It is a disposition that allowed him to think through and across a variety of social, personal, and intellectual issues with a broad range of discursive forms and tools. More than anything, Sartre offers us a strategy that forces us outward, into the problems of the world, with the goal of interrupting history.
