What I think of it? I think it is a pretty little bronze figure. Let that suffice, and leave me to my melancholy. I see that it is nicely done; the arms and legs look as though they belonged to the body and had not been stuck on by mistake; the position is happy. I take note of it all and approve. There it ends for me. And you would give you know not what, perhaps a few years of your life, to have modelled the toy. That is what saddens me; this boundless admiration of things that seem to me minor; this worship of art for its own sake.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. The book explores morality and art, arguing that the highest human quality emerges from directly perceiving reality and responding to its ever-shifting pressures. This creative, multi-faceted, and improvisational response is central to the author's critique of those who pursue any kind of singular path, idea, or principle to the exclusion of others. He asserts that the pursuit of any activity or ideal, whether it be morality, religion, pleasure, or work, should be undertaken for its own sake. Morality in this sense is not the following of some principle, but rather the active, engaged, passionate experience of living.
