Arnold Lunn contra Nietzsche (1919)

In a letter to The New Age, 26.4 (27 November 1919), p. 63, Arnold Lunn fires off some aphoristic reflections on human nature in Nietzsche’s direction. I present the text with some light proofreading, including those emendations Lunn himself suggests in a letter to the same paper, 26.5 (4 December 1919), p. 83.

 

Dr. Levy, I see, appeals to The New Age for a re-opening of the Nietzsche controversy. If I jot down some random thoughts that have been circulating in my head the last few days, some disciple of Nietzsche may, perhaps, rise up and inaugurate the controversy over my corpse.
