110. Nietzsche certainly saw in culture an enticement to (or immersion in) life—at least when it was functioning properly and healthily (and not decadently). His objection to cultural forms and philosophies that viewed such ‘immersion’ warily and mistrustfully was that they were ‘pessimistic’ and ‘life-denying’ rather than ‘Dionysian’ and life-affirming. This, in a nutshell, was Nietzsche’s heroic egotism at work. And yet Nietzsche speaks almost incessantly of ‘freedom’ and ‘free spirits’—apparently without ever genuinely recognizing the root cause of all bondage: attachment to forms. And what is EGO, what is BODY—if these are not FORMS?
