Abstract

Nietzsche writes with extreme candidness the following passage quoting of which irrestible: When someone asks 'what's the use of philosophy?' the reply must be aggressive, since the question tries to be ironic and caustic. Like Dostoevsky’s what is morality but a codicil of criminality? This question reverberates and tintinabullates in mind for a long time. It serves no established power. The use of philosophy is to sadden. A philosophy which saddens no one, that annoys no one, is not a philosophy. It is useful for harming stupidity, for turning stupidity into something shameful. Its only use is the exposure of all forms of baseness of thought. . . . Philosophy is at its most positive as a critique, as an enterprise of demystification. (NP 106).
