In his afterword to my Zarathustra issue Giorgio Colli writes: "This book, therefore, seems to come from the field of archaic forms of expression, and it is difficult to describe as philosophical work. A philosophy is to rule out manipulation of terms which are the expression of sensible objects, while here express images and concepts neither concepts nor concrete things; they are symbols of something that has no face, they are germinating forms of expression. "
Now that we have it, and wrong, Signore Colli: If philosophy consists of manipulation of terms, as Nietzsche in Zarathustra can now truly no slouch; you only take once the comments on the three evil, lust, ambition and selfishness in which these terms are very clearly converted.
Well, that "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is not a philosophical work, it contains a surprising amount of Philosophy; may be that it was designed as Herzerwärmgedicht for philosophers, as plaintive song Spruchdichtung a lonely, who had never taken to the right philosophers, hitting a trail for helplessly stranded in daydreams spirits.
Ultimately, it boils down to that one, hinstellt poetry and philosophy, poetry and wisdom love as incompatible stepsisters: What an arrant nonsense!
But people who can endure neither beauty nor wisdom alone, both stand together much less, and therefore they have to say at the beauty can be no wisdom dwell.
But 6000 feet above Bayreuth hub Nietzsche, 1000 miles across the fly out of what had previously been called poetry.
