1. Philosophy / C. History of Philosophy / 2. Ancient Philosophy / b. Pre-Socratic philosophy

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	From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Unpublished Notebooks 1884-85 [1884], 26[064])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.
