Sayeth Miss Rand after reading Nietzche's "The Birth of Tragedy:
He is "statedly anti-reason. He said that reason is an inferior faculty,
that drunken-orgy emotions were supereior. That finished him as a
spiritual ally." (from the biography by Barbara Branden, "The Passion of
Ayn Rand"
I found "Atlas Shrugged" to be very ingaging, and have taken many valuable
lessons from her philosophy, as well as some that are best unlearned. I
haven't read any Nietzche, but would like to-- I dig drunken-orgies. ;->
Exovivo!
