Freedom, observes the philosopher, is potential launched into infinity.

We are always exposed to the permanent risk of our contingency: the contingency of the environment, of society, our own intimate contingency. We ourselves oscillate, we are in oscillation with respect to ourselves.

A philosophy that consumes itself in thought consumes itself, annihilates itself. Philosophy must open the windows of freedom, the doors of freedom; it must establish freedom. A philosophy that does not establish freedom is a Procrustean bed, a guillotine.
