Human, All Too Human, Part 6 summary

Part 6 of 152 · 2 min to read the part

In 6, the free spirit begins to understand liberation as a demand to master personal virtues and control acceptance and rejection according to higher aims. The answer links every judgment to a limited perspective and locates the greatest error in narrow forms of life that treat themselves as the standard for everything.

What happens

  1. Amid uncertain health, the free spirit begins to understand the liberation that remains puzzling in memory.
  2. The spirit openly questions isolation, abandoned attachments, suspicion, and hostility toward personal virtues.
  3. An answering voice explains that virtues must become tools rather than masters, and acceptance and rejection must serve higher aims.
  4. The answer presents perspective and unavoidable error as conditions of life and judgment.
  5. It identifies the greatest error in narrow life that measures everything against itself and attacks what exceeds it.
  6. The free spirit recognizes the demand for self-mastery and the connection between rank, strength, and breadth of perspective.
