- Abstract
W.B. Yeats wrote on the margin of his copy of The Genealogy of Morals, "But why does Nietzsche think the night has no stars, nothing but bats and owls and the insane moon?" Nietzsche outlined his scepticism of humanity and presented his chilling vision of the future just before the beginning of the last century - he died in 1900. The events of the century that followed, including world wars, holocausts, genocides and other atrocities that occurred with systematic brutality, give us reason enough to worry whether Nietzsche's sceptical view of humanity may not have been right.
