Is it possible to completely understand Friedrich Nietzsche and remain sane? I put it to you that if you are sane, you have not understood him.

I don't know of a person who's ever been completely understood, leave alone Nietzsche.

'Sanity' is about political correctness and says less about a person than about his/her area of social control.

Anyway, this work could be among the last from a true philosopher of modern times. After that, philosophers disappear from earth generally.

Nietsche himself was not sane. But of course he's in good company. Kafka, Camus, Taban and Tycho come to mind.
