| Since Nietzsche died worlwide really MILLIONS of ancient documents were destroyed. Practically all through warfare. Most in Europe and in Asia (i.e. China, Vietnam, Japan, Cambodja, Afghanistan, Iraq). He still could use sources that forever disappeared. Rationalism in all its shapes proved to be the most destructive in cultural history. And that only in a century. |
