Moralism is the first step in an intellectual trajectory that cannot be reduced to moralism. It is necessary for the moralist to go a step further, and go beyond the findings coming from the analysis of the world: he must transform and detach from it if he wants to progress. But it is difficult to concentrate on evolving, overcoming, forgetting, by placing a stone over what once deserved attention; to do so seems like a betrayal of his own nature, a denial of the past, and a devaluation of what the mind has produced. Wrong judgments, however. Intellectual life is justifiable only as long as it moves, and the intellectual only as long as he allows himself to create.
