'Human All Too Human' by Hollingdale

i am going to tie it to chinese philosophy, which i have actually discussed a little bit before. Before i do that, i am going to read to you from hollingdale's translation of nica's human all too human. This is from section five, which is titled tokens of higher and lower ure. And its section two 24. If you have your own copy of nita, each section is titled, in this book, or at least this edition of this book, and it is called ennoblement through degeneration. Here, the subordination of the individual is learned, and firmness imparted to character as a gift at birth and subsequently augmented.
