Only literature could reveal the process of breaking the law -without which the law would have no end -independently of the necessity to create order. Literature cannot assume the task of regulating collective necessity. It should not conclude that 'what I have said commits us to a fundamental respect for the laws of the city' or, like Christianity, that 'what I have said (the tragedy of the Gospel) shows us the path of Good' (which is really the path of reason). Literature, like the infringement of moral laws, is dangerous.
