'misunderstanding is the greatest mask' ... and that means of inviolable interiority... The interiority that a Nietzschean without friends suffers into the nihil.
If life's a carnival what's the most misunderstood mask available to us today?
This is a great list. Since I happen to be looking at him now, I’d note that McLuhan could definitely be included here.
Also, I think Freud definitely read Nietzsche, just he intentionally abstained “in his later years.”
“In later years I have denied myself the very great pleasure of reading the works of Nietzsche”
Also in that Freud quote you share, notice how he talks about possibly not being well read. How much does that sound like Nietzsche’s repeated question “Have I been understood?”
Thanks for your comment Brendan. This list is definitely not meant to be exhaustive, and Nietzsche has impacted so many great thinkers, that I could definitely include more. In the future, I'll consider updating it yet again, and definitely look into Marshall McLuhan's views on Nietzsche, that would be an interesting new dimension to explore. Thank you!
Great material!
