Lopez) Subject: Masks As an effort to change the subject of recent posts to something more interesting, I wonder if someone can talk with me a little about what Nietzsche means when he talks about masks in (particularly in _Beyond Good and Evil_). I tend to think that Nietzsche is a believer in self-knowledge, and perhaps the idea that we must somehow conceal ourselves is for some sort of self-preservation. Basically my confusion is: why is it important to make it difficult for people to see us as we are (which is how I understand the mask thing and Nietzsche's effort to confuse the non-serious reader)? -Laura --- from list nietzsche-AT-jefferson.village.virginia.edu --- ------------------
