Yes, and then he subjected himself to a severe fast as punishment for his failure and ended up starving himself to death.

kafka wrote a lot. 3 novels, at least 2-3 short story collections, a lot of parables, aphorisms, letters, diaries, a play.

you probably haven't even read more than half his corpus.

I know, but it's a shame that he didn't get to expand his ideas further. I would have especially enjoyed an equivalent of Zarathustra by him, something more fictional and stylish.
I know this longing of mine ignores his entire point, but whatever.

>(He must so to speak throw away the ladder, after he has climbed up on it.) He must surmount these propositions; then he sees the world rightly. Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.”
Did Wittgenstein read Stirner? If I remember correctly Stirner says almost the same thing.

It comes from Schopenhauer I think.
