From: "James Kennedy" <jameske3001-AT-clara.co.uk> Subject: Re: Nietzsche list Date: Sat, 26 Aug 2000 17:19:00 +0100 Peter, Nietzsche is talking about alienation. About a kind of man that is complementary to the masses. It is a precondition that the masses must exist for there to be a modification of Dasman. I don't see that Nietzsche is a bully for stating this. I am interested to know why you think that the quote you make is an example of Nietzsche's bullying nature. He is certainly not inferring that Overman rule as a tyrant over the masses. ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Fitzsimons <peter-AT-amat.org.nz> To: <nietzsche-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu> Sent: Saturday, August 26, 2000 2:50 PM Subject: Nietzsche list > Nietzsche writes: > > "The production of a synthetic, summarising, justifying man for whose > existence this transformation of mankind into a machine is a > precondition, as a base on which he can invent his higher form of being" > (WP:866) > > In the face of the above, how does one justify the claim that Nietzsche > was not into bullying, domination etc.?
