This, in my judgment, is the sole philosophical access to an interpretation of the Presocratics. Everything else is historicism without philosophy. Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. Life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad.
Challenges are simply challenges.
