THE ETHICS
Authorship and Legacy in Plato and Nietzsche
Seán Burke
The Ethics of Writing
It was only toward the middle of the twentieth century that the inhabi-tants of many European countries came, in general unpleasantly, to the realisation that their fate could be influenced directly by intricate and abstruse books of philosophy.
Czesław Miłosz,The Captive Mind
. . . graves at my command Have waked their sleepers, oped and let ’em forth By my so potent art. But this rough magic
I here abjure, and, when I have required Some heavenly music, which even now I do, To work mine end upon their senses that This airy charm is for, I’ll break my staff, Bury it certain fathoms in the earth,
And deeper than did ever plummet sound I’ll drown my book.
The Tempest, V. i.48–57
