Nietzsche



Would that all who undertake to criticize the thought of Friedrich Nietzsche would first do the difficult work of reading him. So characteristic of his thought throughout his career is this entry from Notebook 2, autumn 1885-autumn 1886:

Deep disinclination to settle down comfortably once and for all in any single overall view of the world; charm of the opposite way of thinking; refusal to be robbed of the attraction of the enigmatic.

~ Writings From The Late Notebooks, entry 155, tr. Kate Sturge, CUP (2003), p. 91.
