Subject: Off the cuff



There seems to be a lot of "off the cuff" responding
around here.  It is certainly not necessarily _all_
wrong-- it seems to me there are often enough elements
of truth there.  But, _if_ understanding Nietzsche
is the aim, something more could be helpful.
This question of metaphysics-- or should I say
questions?-- for example--:  Allow me a humble
suggestion:  Why not begin by looking at chapter
1 of _Human_All_Too_Human_I_, and I mean the _whole_
chapter?  Perhaps if I can find the time I will
kick this off with a few comments posted here.

P.S.-- This talk of Heidegger and Nietzsche which
keeps popping up now & again, frankly I am somewhat
mystified that people can really take Heidegger on
Nietzsche that seriously.  With Heidegger you are
breathing an entirely different atmosphere, as it
were, you are virtually on different planets.  Everything
Heidegger touchs is transformed into something
peculiar to this atmosphere.  Reading Heidegger
on Nietzsche tells you more about Heidegger than
about Nietzsche.
Enough for the moment.

Take care for now,
