Well, yes, this is the Nietzsche list but not that anyone cares a whole
hell of a lot.
What happens beyond Nietzsche? What comes after? Who and what defines
what he made specific? Who dares to take his artistry forward?
If he began as a philologist and transpired to a psychologist and
ascended to become a philosopher, then, what is the meaning of this?
Fool that I am, I can see no meaning in it at all. Proof of his
scholarliness holds no meaning for me. What of the times that he crossed
over those intellectual boundaries into art and, from art, into
artlessness that is pure resolution of self?
I am a writer who began as a painter. What I see in Nietzsche is that
his thought breaks all parameters set forth by the strictures of
language. His thought shines through clearly from his every written
word.
Given this, do we merely content ourselves with intellectual discussion
and analysis of his words or do we grasp the clear essence of his thought
and move on?
Foolishly yours,
