I was pleased to get the intelligence via his blog that a draft of one of Brian Leiter’s recent Nietzsche papers, “The Truth is Terrible” is now available for download. As it is marked as a draft Professor Leiter requests that we not cite or quote without permission and I shall of course honor that, but I don’t think I am giving away too much if I note that the first few pages provide a clear and succicnt statement of the awfulness of what we all face, pretty much just by being alive.
