YOUR MISPLACED? COMMENT on Nietzsche's Nihilism in Leo Strauss
You wrote the following on the Archive1 page of Leo Strauss article. I noticed it and realized it was added after the archive was created, and generally speaking it is a 'mistake' to place any new comments in the archive of an article. Nobody will read it as current, thus do want to repeat it on the current page? You ask a good point or two, but the comment is over 6 weeks old, so maybe you want to update it? At any rate, since you are new, I thought I would mention I saw this and thought you might want to get a second chance to express the concern on the current page. --Mikerussell 05:02, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * ''The discussion of Heidegger's revisions on Nietzsche includes the unexpected parenthetical "the nihilism that Nietzsche regarded as unmitigated tragedy." I am not sure if this is Heidegger's reading of Nietzsche (if so it could use a cite), but if it's not, and is instead the reading of whoever wrote it, I think it should probably be revised. Nietzsche thought it was a danger, thought Schopenhauer got caught in it, but never have I read any discussion of nihilism as "unmitigated tragedy." If anything, the ubermensch is the mitigation; more, it's the solution to this "tragedy." Not to mention, putting the word "tragedy" in Nietzsche's mouth is particularly worrisome, given his work on the subject. I don't know Heidegger well enough to work on the section, but could someone take a look at it?
