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. > The question is: > > (Q1) "how far an opinion is > > * life-furthering, > * life- preserving, > * species-preserving, > * perhaps species-rearing," > > and > > (Q2) "<s>we are</s>are we fundamentally inclined to maintain > > * that the falsest opinions (to which the synthetic judgments a priori belong), are the most indispensable to us, > * that ( > * * without a recognition of logical fictions, > * * 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."
