setting one's own rules does have a basis in Western philosophy

I want to discuss a quote from AClockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess.

In the book (which became a controversial movie written, produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick) the story is narrated by Alex, a teenager who leads a gang and is basically living the male fantasy life. He has the respect of his peers, he gets money from stealing, he gets sex and he has the time to pursue his passion for music.

This is what Alex tells the readers after Alex's “Post-Corrective Adviser” P. R. Deltoid has left.
