The Rational Man versus the Intuitive Man

Nietzsche describes the rational man as he who is guided by concepts and abstractions, and the intuitive man as he who ponders upon the encounters he experiences with everything in life. He also says that the intuitive man suffers more than the rational man because he cannot learn from his experiences, although he continuously streams clarity and redemption. This may be a comparison again to when we separated ourselves from animals. As rational beings, we were able to learn from our experiences, resist our natural urges, and build "civilization." Nietzsche implies that from the rational man and the intuitive man we are to learn, to forge our own civilization, our own experiences, our own reality, by finding a balance between both of their methods. We must seek the greatest freedom from pain as the rational man, but we must first experience pain as the intuitive man to know what to stay away from.
