La philosophie serait-elle, malgré son nom (qui signifie amour de la sagesse), tout autre chose que la recherche de la sagesse ? C’est ce que tente d’établir l’auteur qui fut lui-même professeur de philosophie et se résolut à chercher la sagesse en Franc-Maçonnerie plutôt que dans cette discipline. La principale différence entre philosophie et pensée initiatique tient à ceci que la première se nourrit d’oppositions, chaque philosophe réfutant ceux qui l’ont précédé pour ...

Kaufmann rehabilitated Nietzsche nearly single-handedly, presenting his works as one of the great achievements of Western philosophy. Responding to the powerful myths and countermyths that had sprung up around Nietzsche,...
