NIETZSCHE borrowed from a number of earlier philosophers, but it recently occurred to me that in terms of being misunderstood on the question of death one could be forgiven for thinking that both he and Hegel were part of some kind of eternal recurrence in which the same man was destined to be misconstrued on this matter over and over and over again.
I like the way you find gems in writers whose work contains muddy nonsense, and unbelievable arrogance at times. Raymond Williams whatever his faults, and there were quite a few, surprised me in Culture and Society, was able to appreciate the value in writers like Burke and others despite their distance from him politicallly.
It is like finding diamonds in the dust at times. I haven't read much of Williams, although I know he was an early critic of neoliberalism. What you say about his approach sounds very encouraging.
