Title: Vastly overrated
Review: Nietzsche, along with Derrida and Foucault must be amongst the most overrated of all philosophers. They represent the polemics of the literary mindset against the epistemic/logical concerns that ought to be the concern of philosophy.Forget Nietzsche. If you seek logic, read Frege, Wittgenstein and Russell. A chapter each of Hume, Kant and Hegel have more substance than the entire Nietzschean corpus. If it is practical philosophy that is your concern, you would do well to read the Stoics, Cicero, Seneca and Boethius. Sceptical considerations are well accounted for, by Sextus Empiricus and the Pyrrhonean school.OTOH, if mindless and intemperate polemics is all that you seek, by all means read Nietzsche. That is all that he is capable of.
