[link\|http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0226468267/103-4554988-0917469?v=glance\|Amazon: Leo Strauss and Nietzsche] Or to put it more directly, quite a few people believe that Straussian philosophy and Nietzsche philosophy share much in common. The Nietzsche 'superman' and the Strauss 'philosopher' share much in common. Their writing seem very different because Nietzsche tends towards over the top exhortations, while Strauss writes in the dry, subtle style of political analysis, but the core of their beliefs are very close. Where Nietzsche writes 'God is dead,' Strauss comments that the wise philosopher keeps his understandings that revelation is fundamentally flawed to himself to prevent the common masses from attacking him.

With a real philosopher, you don't have to read in. You can read out. He gives you something to think about that maybe you didn't bring with you. Interpretations are a dime a dozen. If you take any interpretation of Nietzsche seriously then you're a sucker. He's the Wizard of Oz. On a good day, the man was a flimflam artist. On a bad day, he was simply incoherent. There's no there there. You gaze into the void until you hallucinate whatever happens to be behind your eyeballs. As the Reverend Stang once said, don't let them pull the wool over your eyes. Pull the wool over your own eyes! At least that way you'll know it's wool! Total slack!!! By the way, if anyone is having trouble wrapping his head around the notion of Eternal Return, I recommend The Book of the Subgenius, page 135. Spells it all out quite nicely. ---------------------------------------------------------------- DEAL WITH IT. "I do not want to be admired by scumbags and liars and wife beaters. I want to be admired by good and decent, intelligent and just people, and in order to achieve this I need to do things that make me despised by their opposites." - Bill Whittle Never mind all the mass graves.
