It’s all just lists.


The author states "the question is" and then poses a list of two question (one is misinformed in the original posting).

Each question is a fully formed sentence.

The first question asks about a list of "X-preserving" actions.

The second question "are we inclined to maintain...." is followed by a list of "that" clauses, and the second contains a list of "without" phrases.

So while the author states "the question is", I count 9 different questions.

> * * without a comparison of reality with the purely IMAGINED world of the absolute and immutable, 
> * * without a constant counterfeiting of the world by means of numbers, ) man could not live
> * that the renunciation of false opinions would be a renunciation of life, a negation of life."
