Psychologist#
Summary#
The psychologist is presented as a hunter whose domain is the human soul in all its heights, depths, and distances. This figure pursues the history of inner experience like a “big hunt,” yet finds it nearly impossible to obtain suitable assistants, for scholars lose their keen eye and nose precisely when the great danger and difficulty commences. The born psychologist must ultimately do everything oneself in order to know something, driven by what Nietzsche calls the most agreeable of vices: the love of truth.
