Alexander Nehamas Quote

All we are now concerned with is the search for new and improved version of whatever means are already available for attaining goals such means make possible. The value of the goals themselves is irrelevant … What counts is doing things better than before. Whether such things are worth doing in the first place is no longer a question.


Foreword to Alain Renaut, The Era of the Individual (1999), p. xi.
