“I seek to comprehend what idiosyncrasy begot that Socratic equation of reason, virtue, and happiness….Reason = virtue = 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.”
