Something unknown cannot obligate us

The passage

At the positivist stage of the history of the error: something unknown cannot obligate us to anything.

GD, »Wie die ›wahre Welt‹ endlich zur Fabel wurde«, stage 4: »wozu könnte uns etwas Unbekanntes verpflichten?...« The statement is the map's reading of the rhetorical question as a denial, and says so here; a reader may dispute the reading. The stage is labelled by its parenthesis »Hahnenschrei des Positivismus«, and the statement is framed as that stage's position, for the reason given on a-nietzsche-true-world-does-not-obligate, of which the claim is premise 3. The stage's »tröstend, erlösend« are not covered by the question, which speaks only of »verpflichten«.
