Nietzsche: an explosion in thought

Sue Prideaux has written a fine biography of this most misunderstood of thinkers.

"As Prideaux reminds us, while Nietzsche has been defamed as the father of modern-day relativism, he would have dismissed it out of hand as itself a faith system without foundation. ‘Having called into question the nature of self and declared objective truth to be an impossible fiction, he mischievously goes on to point out that to assert that objective truth is a fiction is to make a statement of objective truth which must itself be a fiction.’"
