The adventurer arises from abundant vitality joined with reflective scepticism
Evidence
The fundamental fault of the nihilist is that, challenging all given values, he does not find, beyond their ruin, the importance of that universal, absolute end which freedom itself is. … From the time of his adolescence a man can define himself as an adventurer. The union of an original, abundant vitality and a reflective scepticism will particularly lead to this choice. — Simone de Beauvoir, The Ethics of Ambiguity, 57
