Intro to Nietzsche's BGE Aph. 30 - 35

Socrates’ words stopped sounding like follies to the Athenians and began to look like crimes (cf Aphorism 30)

Mrs. MCC and I continue our discussion of Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil. Aphorism 30, on esotericism and exotericism, is one of the most important in the book for highlighting Nietzsche’s emphasis on human typology. We see as well in these sections Nietzsche embark on two different miniature genealogies of morality.
