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.
