Abstract

Nietzsche was the last atheist and René Girard his first reader. Yet even Girard's reading has been passed over in such silence that it appears as if Nietzsche's books really were too good, that he really was too wise - and his anthropological science too full by far of human vim for us to bear. His books, if anything, seem to have become even more unreadable than they were at the time of their publication.
