What do all of you say to the fact that Nietzsche's inclinations were
basically "eastern" in tase and morality. That he chose the name of a perian
prophet for his greatest work ? What opnions do we have regarding the
relationship german philosophers had with their eastern counterparts ? e.g..
Schopenhaur and the hindus, Goethe and the persians and in modern times like
Hermann Hesse and hinduism/buddhism. And why is this relationship so
pronounced and deep among the germans rather than the normal run-of-the mill
anglo saxon philosophers ?
