That's OK, writernon :) It's just that Nietzsche's awesomeness lies in questioning and critiquing the prevailing ideas of 'truth'. So for a given value of truth, the fact that Nietzsche was appropriated by the Nazis and understood as a fascist thinker are all true. Nietzsche's one dictum is to problematise and historicise each of these interpretations so that no one of them is understood as the whole truth. So it kiiind of goes against Nietzsche's own ideas for the professor to say interpretations align with the truth.
You're really awesome for having picked him. :D
just finished reading On the Genealogy of Morality, still reeling from the brilliance.
