Hard read

“However crafty this cunning may have been, the inventor himself can still see through it. Let it, then, be hidden from all men, no matter how it’s hiddenness might be able to support him, yet he could not hide it from that inner companion, before whom he is most of all ashamed” (90-1).

Final Chapter: Man and the Eternal. Final arguments regarding man as an individual, brilliant argument on the importance of confession and repentance.

Just finished Chapter 13 "What Then Must I Do? Live as an 'Individual'". Profound chapter. Likely one I will come back to again (and again).
