A certain asceticism, a grimly gay whole-hearted
renunciation, is, as we have seen, one of the most
favourable conditions for the highest intellectualism,
and, consequently, for the most natural corollaries
of such intellectualism : we shall           be proof
against any surprise at the philosophers in par-
ticular always treating the ascetic ideal with a
certain amount of predilection.
