Abstract

The article develops a parallel reading of two texts: an excerpt from Der tolle Mensch (§ 125 of The Gay Science, Nietzsche) and parable Ein commentar (Kafka's aphorism). Not looking to perform a comparative analysis to point out some approaches and some distances. As a mediator of this attempt to read, we use a letter from Walter Benjamin and Modesto Carone's comments about the parable by Kafka.
