Retrieving a posthumous text-message; Nietzsche's fall: the significance of the disputed asylum writing,My Sister and I

Abstract

This paper discusses the disputed asylum writing of Nietzsche's whose provenance is still unresolved. It argues that the marginalisation of this remarkable work is a further extension of Nietzsche's predicament, which was and is to be marginalised and rendered acceptable in merely conventional terms. Both this predicament and the work itself are of great interest to Psychotherapists and Post-modernists. Besides its compelling tragic story, and exposure of his relations with women including his incest with his sister, the significance which can be derived from the work itself (whoever it is by) is that it is one of the earliest examples of such positions as that of the later Wittgenstein, in relation to belief and fixed ideology, which release us from the constraint of the requirement of objective belief basis. The author of this book applies this not only to cognitive beliefs, but to whole genres of writing, ways of life and free existential positions.
