“The philosopher is a self-revaluation of nature’s workshop: the philosopher and the artist tell the trade secrets of nature. The sphere of the philosopher and the artist tell the trade secrets of nature. The sphere of the philosopher and the artist exists above the tumult of contemporary history, beyond necessity. The philosopher is a brake-shoe on the wheel of time.
Philosophers appear during times of great danger, when the wheel of time is turning faster and faster. Together with art they step into the place vacated by myth. But they are far ahead of their time, since the attention of their contemporaries only turns towards them slowly…”
Nietzsche
