4417	Only that which has no history is definable [Nietzsche]
	Full Idea: Only that which has no history is definable.
	From: Friedrich Nietzsche (On the Genealogy of Morals [1887], II.§13)
	A reaction: Too subtle to evaluate! It sounds as if it could be right, that some things are definable, but when the accretions of human history are interwoven into an identity, we can forget it.
