Philosophy

that Nietzsche, as far as I am aware, never actually read any Marx. Most of his criticism of socialism are in response to the work of Saint-Simon; so while both Nietzsche and Marx are highly critical of religion generally, and Christianity in particular, there isn't a whole lot of common ground between the two.

The other thing that's interesting is Nietzsche's essay, "On Truth and Lie in an Ultramoral Sense." I've got a buddy whose writing this master's thesis on this essay; his contention is that modern epistemology--in the tradition of the thinkers of the European and American Enlightenment--is flawed throughout, mainly due to that traditions reliance on the correspondence theory of truth.

This is a really good article, though. I've always love Metallica, and I've always enjoyed seeing random philosophical thoughts show up in their work.
