Nietzsche 1
Dec. 8th, 2008 10:49 amAm studying Nietzsche's Beyond Good And Evil in preparation for an exam tomorrow. The book is far harder to understand than I was expecting. A major problem is that Nietzsche usually speaks in pronouncements rather than giving examples or making arguments, and he's spare on analogies as well. And he'll use hotly contested terms - "Platonism," "Christianity," "democracy" - as if what they represent goes without saying (so he doesn't say it) or, when he does say it, as if what they represent is a monolith.
