A few steps back. — One, certainly very high level of culture has been attained when a man emerges from superstitious and religious concepts and fears and no longer believes in angels, for example, or in original sin, and has ceased to speak of the salvation of souls: if he is at this level of liberation he now has, with the greatest exertion of mind, to overcome metaphysics. Then, however, he needs to take a retrograde step: he has to grasp the historical justification that resides in such ideas, likewise the psychological; he has to recognize that they have been most responsible for the advancement of mankind and that without such a retrograde step he will deprive himself of the best that mankind has hitherto produced. -In regard to philosophical metaphysics, I see more and more who are making for the negative goal (that all positive metaphysics is an error), but still few who are taking a few steps back; for one may well want to look out over the topmost rung of the ladder, but one ought not to want to stand on it. The most enlightened get only as far as liberating themselves from metaphysics and looking back on it from above: whereas here too, as in the hippodrome, at the end of the track it is necessary to turn the corner.

*انطيه مجال يحس بروحه ديفرض شخصيته*

ثُمَّ تَرَى الدُّخَانَ غَطّى الأَبنِيَة
أَبنِيَةٌ مِن حَجَرٍ وأَدعِيَة
تَحفَظُ في جُدرانِها أَسرارَنا

— تميم

ومَن لا يُعتَبَط يَسأَم ويَهرَم
وتُسْلِمُه المَنونُ إلى انقطاعِ

وما للمَرءِ خَيرٌ فِي حَياةٍ
إذا ما عُدَّ مِن سَقَطِ المَتاعِ

بس باع التشبيه!

سَقَط المتاع: هو القَديمُ والرّخيصُ مِن مَتاعِ المرء، أَيْ أثاثُ منزِلِه

"It is disgraceful for a philosopher to say: the good and the beautiful are one; if he adds 'also the true', one ought to beat him. Truth is ugly. We possess art lest we perish of the truth.

hitherto we have been permitted to seek beauty only in the morally good - a fact which sufficiently accounts for our having found so little of it and
having had to seek about for
imaginary beauties without backbone! - As surely as the wicked enjoy a hundred kinds of happiness of which the virtuous have no inkling, so too they possess a hundred kinds of beauty; and many of them have not
yet been discovered."

— Friedrich Nietzsche, The Will to Power.
