"Nietzsche was an artist of the highest degree with language. I often
wonder why he went unread in his own time, even if his message was
'untimely'..."
John,
Thanks for acknowledging my presence.
Nietzsche went unread in his time even as he is either unread or not
understood in this time. His message is yet untimely.
How many people do you know who live as individuals? How many people do
you know who do not agree for the sake of agreement or who disagree more
for the sake of appearing agreeable, ultimately, nevertheless?
Certainly, if you can sense the artistry of Nietzsche's use of language,
you must sense the beauty borne from the words behind the words; the
mental presence that is defiant of all intellectual definition; the
timelessness of it that does not bear argument?
Can you define what is the will to power beyond what is expected and what
is agreed?
