Mike: Of course I could be wrong as I could well be misreading
Nietzsche especially given that I've only read the underlined
parts of Nietzsche.
Eric: This means
1. Mike traveled to the village of Röcken (between Leizpig and
Weißenfels in today's German State of Sachse-Anhalt);
2. Exhumed Nietzsche's body;
3. Employed a highlighter (presumably yellow; neon-pink is tacky)
or a pen or a pencil; and
4. Underlined parts of Nietzsche;
5. Read those underlined parts.
Mike read Nietzsche in translation, which is itself an
interpretation. As for resorting to Nietzsche's notebooks to
verify a Nietzschean position, that's tenuous. Nietzsche
routinely contradicts himself in his notebooks, and used his
notebooks to think through problems that interested him.
A good resource is: _Philosophy and Truth: Selections from
Nietzsche's Notebooks of the Early 1870's_, edited and translated
by Daniel Breazeale, Humanity Books, 1999.
