24146 | All the major problems were formulated before Socrates [Nietzsche] |
Full Idea: All the major problems were formulated before Socrates. | |
From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Unpublished Notebooks 1884-85 [1884], 26[064]) | |
A reaction: So much for it all being 'footnotes to Plato'! Nietzsche's lectures on the pre-Socratics are in print. Given how little survives, this idea is surprising. Nietzsche knew enough to infer a lot of what is lost. |
