As I recall, Nietzsche was plagued by a variety of horrific health problems,
and was actually a pretty chaste individual...no alchohol, no opium, and to
the best of my knowledge in my reading, not exactly what you would call a
Casanova. I think there is some controversy about the diagnosis of
Syphilis...I think it was probably more a case of someone so far outside the
mores and behavior of the day that they were perceived as insane...a Francis
Farmer kinda thing. In combination with his horrible infirmities, I could
very easily see him ending up in a sanitarium...and his sister was no big
help there.

Then again, he could just have been a complete looney.

I don't think he had a Newton.

Or was it the people around him who lost perspective?

Actualy, yes he sorta did lose his marbles, but only because he was=20
ravaged by siphylis, and maybe because man kind is very discouraging,=20
but mostly siphylis.
