"No one now knows what a good book looks like," Nietzsche writes in The Book of the Philosopher. From this aborted project, a vast exposition of the relations of philosophy to art, science and civilization, there are studies whose fragmentary character does not shock the spirit of Nietzschean l'élan. Historical Milestones faced with the mirror of interpretation and program for the philosophy of tomorrow marry in a often violent text. But it takes violence to assert life and denounce the mortifying work of science. Nietzsche is here engaged in a merciless struggle against the fosseurs of thought and sum up the philosophy of being an artist. For the philosopher must not seek the truth but the metamorphoses of the world in men.
