It is scarcely possible to read seriously in [[contemporary literature]], [[contemporary philosophy|philosophy]], or [[psychology]] without encountering references to Roquentin's confrontation with the [[chestnut tree]], for example, which is one of the sharpest pictures ever drawn of [[self-doubt]] and metaphysical [[anguish]]." | + | |
