727 § 8. It is but seldom that after a long journey we have the satisfaction of being able to say to ourselves that we have not passed by any eminence which promised a good out- look, and have examined all the best points of view, and that we have never, through lingering in any one spot longer than was fitting, on account of some insignificant attraction, neglected to seek out any more important prospect obtainable from a neighbouring point And still less shall we succeed in grouping together ...the manifold moods and thoughts which arose in us by the way, into one simple memory-picture without giving up much which in the brightness of its living individuality attracted and enchained us. Such self-reproaches and such difficulty do I feel in parting from a work of which I desire to express yet once more the essential meaning, unburdened by the special explanations which I have \mder- taken in it. It would be vain to attempt this in any other way than by emphasiEing once again the scientific attitude which has guided and been at the foundation of the whole — on the one hand a stru^Ie against veneration of mere empty forms, and over-estimation of what is but presupposition or result, means or mode of manifestation, of that which is truly worthy and livii^ and real; and connected with this the struggle against all fanaticism which would like to see the Supreme Good active in some other way than that which it has itself chosen, or which believes that Good to be attainable by some shorter path than the roundabout way of formal orderliness which it has itself entered upon.
