Thomas Mann – The Magic Mountain – Part 11

How charming – Herr Settembrini was back to calling himself an individualist. To be that, however, one needed to know the difference between morality and blessedness, which the gentleman, as a good illuminatus and monist, most certainly did not. Wherever life was stupidly regarded as an end in itself, with no questions asked about a meaning or purpose beyond it, what one found were social ethics, vertebrate ethics, but not individualism – that resided solely in the realm of the religious and mystical, in that so-called chaotic void. Just what was Herr Settembrini's morality, what was its point? It was bound to life, and so merely utilitarian – unheroic, miserably so. Its sole objective was for a person to grow old, rich, happy, and healthy – period; he considered a philistine gospel of reason and work to be ethics. But as far as he, Naphta, was concerned, he once again took the liberty of calling that a shabby bourgeoisiosity of life.

Most of my paintings are inspired by books or music, they are a tribute to a certain author, philosopher, composer or artist and his/her work. Reproductions of my works are for sale by Artmajeur. People who are interested in the original work can send me a message. The ecoline paintings are framed (light oak or black aluminum), they have a passe-partout and a plate of glass on the front. Oil paintings have a wire on the back so they can be hung.
