I have questions and no answers.
So: IS the Eternal Return a literal idea that is meant to be taken
literally? And is Nietzche consistent in his views of the Return,or does
he change them, and if so, how, and how much?
What was Nietzsche's actual relationship to Andreas-Lou Salome?
Were they lovers?
IS Nietzsche resentful of Christ? Does he hate or resent St. Paul.
I am thinking of the Anti-Christ... and sections of Twilight of the
Idols...
Was Nietzsche a virgin?
Has anyone read Klossowski's Le Cercle V (not sure of the spelling
here) but loosely en anglais: The Vicious Circle ? might the englished
version.
Does the Eternal Return really require a forgetting as Klossowski
seems to suggest, or does it, or must it be faced head on as the stark
reality, and the stark reality of history?
How well does Nietzsche understand Christianity? If at all? Was he
wrong completely in his concept of Christ as "idiot," which he garned from
the Idiot by Dostoevski?

All for now, CD.
