Foster" <borealis-AT-mail.wellsgray.net> Subject: Re: silence Well if Nietzsche set out to 'transvaluate all values' it appears that he may have succeeded. Of course doing that today would require several life-times. One might ask: if there are transvalues, then there are trans-sciences, trans-facts, and there are trans-realities. At least one scientist, Alvin Weinberg, PhD, claims that there is a 'transcience'. Alvin Weinberg was recently and for quite a few years in charge of the Brookhaven National Laboratory located on Long Island, New York, the research facility that was shut down due to breaches in safety, and the leaking of high level radiation from the site into groundwater and into the local environment. Science and human values can combine to create trans-sciences. At first glance it sound like a possibility to restructure the world, make it wobble less on it's own axis, just change peoples minds. Marsha, I agree that Nietzsche was not an anti-semite and that he scorned the anti-semites for their misunderstanding and intolerances. "An anti-Semite is certainly not any more decent because he lies as a matter of principle." Neitzsche In my copy of the "Anti-Christ" the editor has this to say: "Like Nietzsche's first essay, The Birth of Tragedy, The Antichrist is unscholarly and so full of faults that only a pendant could wish to catalogue them." Walter Kaufman, Princeton University_ In the Portable Nietzsche
