232. Vermuthung über den Ursprung der Freigeisterei. - Ebenso wie die Gletscher zunehmen, wenn in den Aequatorialgegenden die Sonne mit grösserer Gluth als früher auf die Meere niederbrennt, so mag auch wohl eine sehr starke, um sich greifende Freigeisterei Zeugniss dafür sein, dass irgendwo die Gluth der Empfindung ausserordentlich gewachsen ist.

232. Conjecture concerning the Origin of Free-Spiritedness. Just as glaciers increase when, in equatorial regions, the sun beats down upon the seas with greater heat than before, so too a very strong and spreading free-spiritedness may well be evidence that somewhere the heat of feeling has grown extraordinarily great.

232. Conjecture sur l’origine de la liberté d’esprit. De même que les glaciers s’accroissent lorsque, dans les régions équatoriales, le soleil brûle les mers avec une ardeur plus grande qu’auparavant, une liberté d’esprit très forte et qui se propage pourrait bien témoigner que, quelque part, l’ardeur du sentiment s’est extraordinairement accrue.
