Truth and Well-Being

“There is no pre-established harmony between the furtherance of truth and the well-being of mankind.”

[“Es gibt keine prästabilierte Harmonie zwischen der Förderung der Wahrheit und dem Wohle der Menschheit.”]

F.W. Nietzsche, Menschliches, Allzumenschliches (Franfurt am Main und Leipzig: Insel Verlag, 2000), §.517, p.275.

    Coincidence, Mr. Deogowulf. :)
    Last night I enjoyed reading some of his thoughts in 'Nietzsche für Boshafte'* / Nietzsche for (the) Malicious'.
    You'd like it. There seems to exist no English edition yet, though.

    I used to have a book in German called something like "Nietzsche for Fun."

    Mine - a Christmas present by our daughter :) - had just been published then, in autumn 2007.
    The one you mention is probably 'Niezsche zum Vergnügen'.

    In this spirit: Have ein vergnügliches / pleasurable weekend. :)

    What would you expect from Nietzsche anyway?
