“Nietzsche becomes Western philosophy's first avowed atheist of the far right. His aestheticism, together with his vision of the Dionysian creator, gives him a frame of reference outside positivism and outside all other forms of optimistic rationalism. This makes possible a thoroughgoing repudiation of the dominant social ideals of modernity.”
Bruce Detwiler, Nietzsche and the Politics of Aristocratic Radicalism

“In the best of cases, the philosopher is not simply one who ascends from the cave and perceives the sun. Rather, he is one who out of the depths of his own creativity becomes a new sun for mankind.”
Bruce Detwiler, Nietzsche and the Politics of Aristocratic Radicalism

“For the last man the death of god means not the death of conventional morality but the death of all edifying aspiration and the death of all goals and all justification for striving for anything beyond a paltry egalitarian contentment.”
Bruce Detwiler, Nietzsche and the Politics of Aristocratic Radicalism
