Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

The Decisive Difference between Kierkegaard and Nietzsche

Theodor HaeckerJournal in the Night (Pantheon, 1950, tr. Dru), #689, p. 212, written in 1944:

The endless chatter about Nietzsche and Kierkegaard is quite hopeless. Outward similarities set up a superficial sphere of comparison that is utterly meaningless, for they are localised and limited by a decisive difference at a deeper level; the one prayed, the other did not.
