One tried the reverse: "think" condition, "I" conditioned, the I a synthesis made by thinking

The passage

Now one tried, with admirable tenacity and cunning, whether one could not get out of this net, whether perhaps the reverse might be true: "think" condition, "I" conditioned; "I" thus only a synthesis which is made by thinking itself.

JGB 54: »Nun versuchte man, mit einer bewunderungswürdigen Zähigkeit und List, ob man nicht aus diesem Netze heraus könne, - ob nicht vielleicht das Umgekehrte wahr sei: "denke" Bedingung, "Ich" bedingt; "Ich" also erst eine Synthese, welche durch das Denken selbst gemacht wird.« The sentence reports what »man versuchte« and does not say in its own voice that the reverse is true; the statement keeps the »ob nicht vielleicht«. The net is the belief of c-nietzsche-soul-believed-like-grammatical-subject.
