Twilight of the Idols

I intend to write an essay about three of the books written in 1888 by Nietzsche: the most explosive, the “crazy” ones. What I have found out, re-reading them, is that Nietzsche wasn't crazy at all when he conceived “The Twilight of Idols” for instance (as some psychiatrists claim). His truths are more powerful, deeper and more energetic. There is an incredible tension but also a massive - almost unbelieveable - intuition. In his hidden, occult way (pre-psychanalytic), Nietzsche is almost always right. His truth may be “perverse” but it is nevertheless a strong truth. I'd rather be insane with Nietzsche than “normal” with Kant. However, because Nietzsche has written this books weeks before his mental breakdown, they are somehow mythologically charged. Before experiencing his abyss, the German writer had perhaps the most formidable intelectual adventure of all times: if Zarathustra is Everest, Genealogy of the Morals and the writtings from the fateful 1888 are a trip to Moon and Mars. The aforementioned virtual essay of mine will probably emulate Papini's tone from the “Twilight of Philosophers”.
