There are untold numbers of academics spread all over the globe's dark blue surface, who have been constantly working for more than a hundred years to make sure that a certain philosophy remains misread and poorly interpreted. Such is the danger & power of Nietzsche's philosophy.

Recently reread Twilight of the Idols and The Antichrist and man is it important which translation you read. The first translation I found online has him ranting against "logic" at one point whereas the Kaufmann translation of "dialectic" makes complete contextual sense.

I stopped reading the online version after noticing that first discrepancy, but I can only assume that translation is full of other insane misinterpretations. And it's the first one people will find if they just google for texts online.

Careful with Kaufmann, he's a tricky, shrewd one, a professional NN, Nietzsche Neuterer.
