'An aphorism, properly stamped and molded, has not been "deciphered" when it has simply been read; rather one has then to begin its interpretation, for which is required an art of interpretation.' -- Nietzsche, 'On the Genealogy of Morals'

sundering and dismembering « Previous | |Next »
November 9, 2003

One of the taken for granted assumptions in our culture is the mutual shunning of our philosophical and literary cultures. Hence the body of Nietzsche's texts is sundered and dismembered because these texts are philosophical and poetic.

There is little point in approaching these texts asking: 'are they philosophy or are they literature'?

They are both and so something different.
