What does Christianity tell us about Nietzsche's aphorisms?
Can philosophical anthropology throw light on Christian belief?
What does Christianity tell us about Nietzsche's aphorisms? Can philosophical anthropology throw light on Christian belief? With a chain of its metaphorical expressions, aphorisms, and psychological arguments, Zura Shiolashvili's The Prelude of Divine Wisdom in the Art of Aphorism sets out a fascinating picture of the science of the soul on this point, in contrast to Nietzsche's merely corporeal wisdom, which Shiolashvili denounces as clever idiocy.
This book plumbs the immeasurable depth of the spiritual aesthetics of the Christian religion and impels readers to meditate upon the eternal nature of thought as a phenomenology of spiritual beauty. Shiolashvili has authored a brilliant masterpiece on spiritual aesthetics which has few rivals, if indeed any, within the worlds of theology or philosophy.

'Aphorisms can be seen as an art: making the best connection between existing knowledge so as to reveal some truth through the shortest expression. Very few philosophers have tried to use this approach in their philosophy, although it was certainly there in the Ancient tradition of the Chinese sages, as well as in the writings of Parmenides and other Ancients. More recently, Nietzsche and Wittgenstein seemed to write almost in aphorisms. Here Zura Shiolashvili sets out to prove the case.'
