- Abstract
- Oh, these Greeks! They knew how to live. What is required for that is to stop
courageously at the surface, the fold, the skin, to adore appearance, to believe in forms,
tones, words, in the whole Olympus of appearance. Those Greeks were superficial -out of profundity.
-Preface to the second edition of The Gay Science

-John xviii. 38
-Do I still have to add that in the entire New Testament there is only one solitary
figure one is obliged to respect? Pilate, the roman governor.... 'What is truth?'
- The Anti-Christ, 46

What is philosophy? Rather, let's put it this way: What should be the aim of philosophy?
My answer to the question is that it should be the ultimate aim of philosophy to help
human beings live their lives more fully, namely, to teach them how to live.
