My first impulse to publish some of my hypotheses concerning the origin of morality I owe to a clear, well-written, and even precocious little book, in which a perverse and vicious kind of moral philosophy (your real English kind) was definitely presented to me for the first time; and this attracted me-with that magnetic attraction, inherent in that which is diametrically opposed and antithetical to one's own ideas.
Moralaren sorreraz nire hipotesiez zerbait zabaltzeko lehen estimulua liburutxo argi, garbi, zuhur eta jakintsua ere bazen batek eman zidan, zeinean lehen aldiz argiro topo egin bainuen hipotesi genealogikoen espezie alderantzikatu eta makur batekin, bere espezie benetan ingelesarekin; liburutxoak erakarri egin ninduen antitetikoa den, gure antipodetan dagoen guztiak daukan erakar-indar horrekin.
