Tocqueville

[edit]

Did Nietzsche read Tocqueville? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.33.93.214 (talk) 23:47, 6 February 2010 (UTC) - —Preceding unsigned comment added by Js2081 (talkcontribs) 23:49, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Montaigne

[edit]

Surely something could be added about Nietzsche's appreciation of Montaigne? Wilhelm Ritter 03:24, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In Schopenhauer as Educator, § 2, N. appreciatively wrote of Montaigne: "That such a man wrote has truly augmented the joy of living on this earth." Then N. misquoted Montaigne from memory and produced a ridiculous comment. N. wanted to show that he derived several of his ideas from Montaigne, just as Montaigne had taken ideas from Plutarch. "…I at least have come to feel what he [Montaigne] felt about Plutarch: 'as soon as I glance at him I grow a leg or a wing.' " But Montaigne did not say that he grew [gewachsen] a leg or a wing. He said that he "took out" or "pulled out" [tire] a leg or a wing from Plutarch’s writings, as one would do to a roasted chicken at the dinner table. In other words, Montaigne said that he took ideas from Plutarch. See Montaigne's Essays, Book 3, "On Some Verses of Vergil." The metaphor that Montaigne used was that Plutarch's writings were like a roasted chicken and that pulling off a leg or wing was like utilizing some of Plutarch's ideas for his own writings. Nietzsche was trying to say that he took [took out, pulled out a leg or wing] some ideas from Montaigne. However, his misquotation made it seem as though he meant that his abilities increased [grew a leg or wing in order to run or fly] when he came into contact with Montaigne’s writings. Nietzsche was notified of his mistake and was corrected by a correspondent, but he ignored the correction.Lestrade (talk) 16:46, 6 October 2012 (UTC)Lestrade[reply]

Dostoevsky's Notes from the Underground.. as mentioned in (I believe) Twilight of the Idols; it 'cried truth from the blood.' I have read in other Wiki pages that he read the Idiot, that Kaufman believed this.. but it did not list a source. It was on the Antichrist wiki page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.179.183.188 (talk) 06:57, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Really

[edit]

Does this really need it's own page? I think this should be put in as a segment in the Nietzsche page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.129.202.141 (talk) 00:02, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
