Critical Reflection on Nietzsche’s Twilight of the Idols (The “Preface”)
Respond:
Was (or is) there something deeply important missing in philosophy (or in religion, or in anything we do with words and ideas — in politics or government, for example)? Did philosophy forget the first thing about itself — that it is first a self?
That being a “self” means something more than just thinking and reasoning, and so on? How is it, then, that Nietzsche could say that perhaps philosophy is like a raven, inspired by a “little whiff of carrion [that is, dead flesh]”?
