Nietzsche's Third Untimely Meditation
Nietzsche's Third Untimely Meditation is not only his homage to Schopenhauer, but a reflection on education in the most comprehensive sense. Many of Nietzsche's writings aimed at instructing the modern world on how to philosophize with a sledgehammer, but the premise of the Third Meditation is altogether more gentle, namely the singular marvel that is every human being. True educators help us to identify the uniqueness that makes us special, but they can only point the way: "No one can build you the bridge on which you, and only you, must cross the river of life. There is one path in the world that none can walk but you. Where does it lead? Don't ask, walk!"(This is a complete translation of sections I-V of Nietzsche's essay, which actually deal with Schopenhauer, but not of sections VI-VIII, which move on to other things.)
