5. Actually, Giles Fraser is an expert on Nietzsche.

Fraser attended Newcastle University, Ripon College Cuddesdon and the University of Lancaster. He was ordained as a deacon in 1993 and as a priest the following year, serving as the curate of All Saints in Streetly from 1993 to 1997.[3] From 1997 to 2006, he was a chaplain and then a lecturer in philosophy at Wadham College, Oxford. He is the author and co-author of several books and is a specialist on the writings of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.

I don't agree with his interpretation; but I wouldn't presume that because I disagree with him he has never read Nietzsche.

Whether there is or isn't, anyone *can* claim to be an expert, but claiming doesn't make it so. Jim__ Feb 2012 #10
