Leonardo,
I do agree concerning these genealogical connections; and i think that the step
away that brings us the gift of "worldviews" is built into it as well.

to be tricky and
obscure like nietz i'd say ALL worldviews have been spawned
from the first time the world was made a picture.
the christian picture has made of the world an endless number of "views."

does nietz seek the garden before the fall? no. does he seek
"the total mobilization of all beings toward the arbitrary ends
of humankind"? i don't think so.
such does seem the libertarian view...

does he seek some more permanently
ensconced renaissance such as was tripped and slain eventually by the church
and made to funnel out in slow trickling grains so that only "other views"
could provide an escape from that torture. i'd say "yep."

kindest regards,
hen
