evidence is where?
In my opinion, Nietzsche's constant attention to the motives of
philosophers and philosophies places his works in the intersection of
psychoanalytic writings and philosophy. Why pursue Truth?
How one gathers "evidence" from speculations about motives ... ? If that
"where" is subjective introspective questing, it's difficult to hold it
up as evidence to others.
That may explain Nietzsche's project -- and why he seems to contradict
himself so often, raises questions only to drop them, offers aphorisms
with many interpretations -- as an attempt to make his readers think
about their lives, rather than creating a system or explanation of their
lives. A position as difficult in some ways as it is easy in other ways.
