The nomadic thinker is one who traces the con­tours of the free space of think­ing and whose sub­jectiv­ity is, for neces­sary struc­tural reas­ons, in a state of war-​​like struggle. This struggle is not a purely intel­lec­tual exer­cise where one engages in  cri­tique with noth­ing more at stake than, say, a purely formal vis­ion of the greater good.  Instead, one could say, in a man­ner faintly remin­is­cent of Carl Schmitt, that what is at stake is the nomadic thinker's very life, that is to say, the ethos, integ­rity and cre­ativ­ity of the free space of thinking.
