Nietzsche is a fucking drooling retard. You can’t answer the problem of the one and the many without some recourse to some form of Platonic metaphysics. Plato is the culmination of a line of Greek philosophers who tried and failed to put forward a theory of everything. He was the first one to really consider Being as such a problem to be solved, and refuted the silly physicalism of (most) of the presocratics. He represents a massive step forward in philosophy.

Plato was a real philosopher, a real inquirer into Being and metaphysics. Nietzsche was a crazed ranter who could not into abstract thought or logic. The reason he is so popular is because he was a sensationalist and not a serious intellectual.

It is Nietzsche, not Plato, who represents his culture’s decline. The literal divine tradition of German idealism ended up culminating in Nietzsche, a babbling syphilitic.

if you want a true answer :
Metaphysics as a science ended with Immanuel Kant and his Critique of pure reason... the problem of synthetic judgements a priori is not solved until today... our Zeitgeist is still Immanuel Kant... there was noone better after him !

HE was just using dualistic language so someone such as yourself would have even the slightest chance of grasping the Truth outlined in that post.

Same reason nobody has ever been able to defeat Trump in an election. He and Derrida both are part of the orange master race. Watch all the pathetic replies you'll get. They all say the same thing. ORANGE. MAN. BAD. Derrida solved metaphysics and ENDED philosophy. I love how some people try to cope "r-reading Derrida is too hard because I can't subvocalize or read out loud". Lmao give me a break. Daily reminder that if you haven't read Derrida you'll never deconstruct a single thing your entire life. True philosophy is love of wisdom as the word etymologically means in Greek and this wisdom and the last person to ever understand it, take it apart, put it back together again and still love it was Jacques Derrida.

>solved metaphysics and ended western philosophy
It's simple: assume that the entire field of one's experience is a field of creative evolutionary activity. Then the entire world comes alive as an ecosystem of organic events that one can interact with as such, and pretty soon you're actually *doing metaphysics* instead of merely speculating about it.

>solved metaphysics and ended western philosophy
how can a single man be so based?

>didn't read Guenon
>made to look like a fool because you name-dropped someone whose ideas you barely knew

If only you had read Guenon's whole oveure you could have explained to him how Guenon solved metaphysics and ended western philosophy, it's a shame really but you have only yourself to blame
