Note 5 — Chapter III · GOD AS A MORAL BEING, OR LAW.
George Eliot translation
“That which, in our own judgment, derogates from our self-conceit, humiliates us. Thus the moral law inevitably humiliates every man when he compares with it the sensual tendency of his nature.”—Kant, Kritik der prakt. Vernunft, 4th edition, p. 132. ↑
