Description
The moralism of the Greek philosophers from Plato on is pathologically conditioned; so is their
reverence for logical argument. Reason equals virtue and happiness, that means merely that one must
imitate Socrates and counter the dark appetites with a permanent daylight — the daylight of reason.
One must be clever, clear, bright at any price: any concession to the instincts, to the unconscious, leads
downward.
