Introduction

This is the Nietzsche podcast. We're going to pick up right where we left off last week, getting into section six of On the Prejudices of Philosophers from Beyond Good and Evil. And I think that actually this aphorism will do a great job in a sense of summarizing many of the considerations of the previous week. Or it has become clear to me what every great philosophy so far has been. Namely, the personal confession of its author and a kind of involuntary and unconscious memoir. Also that the moral or immoral intentions in every philosophy constituted the real germ of life from which the whole plant had grown.
