Excerpt:

The title of this paper is something of a lie. It is a noble lie, but it is a lie. Plato and Nietzsche will not be equally treated here. Still, the title reflects one of the crucial problems of contemporary philosophy, and of contemporary life. For those who would like to be Platonists, Nietzsche represents the most difficult obstacle.
