"Against positivism, which halts at phenomena--'there are only facts'--I would say: No, facts is precisely what there is not, only interpretations. We cannot establish any fact 'in itself': perhaps it is folly to want to do such a thing.
"'Everything is subjective', you say; but even this is interpretation. The subject is not something given, it is something added and invented and projected behind what there is. --Finally, is it necessary to posit an interpreter behind the interpretation? Even this is invention, hypothesis."
Will to power, 1967 Kaufman ed, p. 267.
The more I read Fred, the more I question the originality of most of the recent pomo literature (e.g., Zizek, Butler).
