Дисквалифициран като човек е историята на Йозо, който от малък решава, че е по-лесно да играеш ролята на шут, да разсмиваш хората, да не им отказваш нищо, за да те оставят да обитаваш някъде по периферията на живота им и да не те изхвърлят съвсем. Поради тази причина познатите му никога не успяват да го вземат несериозно. Баща му отказва да му даде обич, "приятелите" му се възползват от него финансово и всякак, и в резултат от всичко това, той става жесток към жените, които го обичат. А те са били толкова много. Както самият той казва, "надушват самотата в теб и се залепват". Но дори когато не ги е ... |

Неговият дух владее не само XIX и XX век, но очевидно ще оплодотворява интелектуалните търсения и на XXI век. Фундаменталното шесттомно събрание на съчиненията на великия философ е под общата редакция и съставителство на Исак Паси, който твърди, че "от самото начало на XX век името на Фридрих Ницше започва да се превръща в идол, в кумир за рационалисти и ирационалисти, за моралисти и аморалисти, за национал-социалисти и анархисти, ... |
