CHAPTER VII
“VIRTUE” AND “VICE” AS FUNCTIONS OF THE ORGANISM
“In nearly all these philosophic discussions of ethics one has somehow the haunting sense of a wrongness of direction. Virtue is somehow imposed from above, it is descending upon us. And the unfortunate part of this is that it has to descend very low indeed before it reaches us; and when there, it has lost the buoyancy wherewith to lift us up.”
Edwin Holt, “The Freudian Wish.”
