> natures such as the apostle paul, have an evil eye for the passions; they learn to know only the filthy, the distorting, and the heart-breaking in them,their ideal aim, therefore, is the annihilation of the passions; in the divine they see complete purification from passion. the greeks, quite otherwise than paul and the jews, directed their ideal aim precisely to the passions, and loved, elevated, embellished and deified them: in passion they evidently not only felt themselves happier, but also purer and diviner than otherwise.and now the christians? have they wished to become jews in this respect? have they perhaps become jews!
