EVERY ANGEL IS TERRIFYING

Duino Elegies–Ranier Maria Rilke

Not A Small Discipline

Not A Small Discipline

February 8, 2020 Jerry King Comments 0 Comment

Is there enough
pride, daring
boldness, self-assurance,
enough spiritual will,
will to responsibility,
freedom of will available today
for “the philosopher”
to be from now on really
—- possible on earth?

The desire to see differently
for once
in this way
is not a small discipline
of the intellect,
and a preparation
for its eventual
objectivity.

— On the Genealogy of Morals, by Friedrich Nietzsche page 95
