Critics#
Summary#
Critics are distinguished from skeptics by their certainty as to standards of worth, conscious employment of unified method, wary courage, standing-alone, and capacity for self-responsibility. Nietzsche’s philosophers of the future will demand critical discipline and habits conducive to purity and rigor in intellectual matters, yet they will not wish to be called critics on that account. Critics are merely instruments of the philosopher, and as instruments they remain far from being philosophers themselves.
