Insight: all evaluation is made from a definite perspective: that of the preservation of the individual, a community, a race, a state, a church, a faith, a culture. — - Because we forget that valuation is always from a perspective, a single individual contains within him a vast confusion of contradictory valuations and consequently of contradictory drives. This is the expression of the diseased condition in man, in contrast to the animals in which all existing instincts answer to quite definite tasks. This contradictory creature has in his nature, however, a great method of acquiring knowledge: he feels many pros and cons, he raises himself to justice — -to comprehension beyond esteeming things good and evil. The wisest man would be the one richest in contradictions, who has, as it were, antennae for all types of men — -as well as his great moments of grand harmony — -a rare accident even in us! A sort of planetary motion — -

لا يكفي لطالب الحقيقة أن يكون مخلصاً في قصده، بل عليه أن يترصد أخلاصه، ويقف موقف المشكك فيها؛ لأن عاشق الحقيقة إنما يحبها لا لنفسه مجاراةً لأهوائه، بل يهيم بها لذاتها ولو كان ذلك مخالفاً لعقيدته، فإذا هو اعترضته فكرة ناقضت مبدأه وجب عليه أن يقف عندها فلا يتردد أن يأخذ بها. إياك أن تقف حائلاً بين فكرتك وبين ما يُنافيها، فلا يبلغ أولَ درجة من الحكمة مَنْ لا يعمل بهذه الوصية. عليك أن تُصلى نفسك كل يومٍ حرباً وليس لك أن تُبالى بما تجنيه من نصر أو تجنى علبك جهودك من اندحار، فإن ذلك من شأن الحقيقة لا من شأنك.

The venerability, reliability, and utility of truth is something which a person demonstrates for himself from the contrast with the liar, whom no one trusts and everyone excludes. As a "rational" being, he now places his behavior under the control of abstractions. He will no longer tolerate being carried away by sudden impressions, by intuitions.
