Twilight of the Idols

The Problem of Socrates

He establishes early on in the section The Problem of Socrates that the value of life cannot be estimated and any judgment concerning it only reveals the person's life-denying or life-affirming tendencies. He tries to show how philosophers from Socrates onwards were "decadents", employing dialectical rationality as a tool for self-preservation as the authority of tradition breaks down.
