Nietzsche


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.

Nietzsche - Science


“…great and universally minded spirits have,…used the armoury of science to lay bare the limitations and determinations of knowledge, and thus have decisively negated the claims of science to universal validity and universal goals….they have revealed the delusion…which imagines it can explain the innermost essence of things." 
Nietzsche BT P87
