“All the sciences have now to pave the way for the future task of
the philosopher; this task being understood to mean, that he must
solve the problem of value, that he has to fix the hierarchy of values.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
Taken from Nietzsche, F. W., Zur Genealogie der Moral, translated by
Horace B. Samuel, English: The Genealogy of Morals, Boni and Liveright,
New York, 1913.
