Abstract
In sections two hundred and seventy-six to two hundred and ninety Nietzsche considered the significance and context of living perilously. In section two hundred and ninety he emphasized such liberated living does not mean rejecting all constraint. Becoming an artist of one’s life involves styling one’s character, by creating a plan that is artistic and submitting one’s character to its dictates. These next eight sections elaborate on the meaning and difficulty of styling one’s character.
