What an unusual claim - that the sciences' job is to help philosophy! Nietzsche was a fascinating man (and not just because he was a classics scholar...:-) with provocative ideas. What do you make of the notion that the central job of human curiosity is to "solve the problem of value"?
ReplyDeletewell, I am not sure if it is a good idea for humans to be so curious about the problem of value. Afterall, curiosity did kill the cat. Who's to say that we aren't next?
