Although the most acute judges of the witches and even the witches themselves, were convinced of the guilt of witchery, the guilt nevertheless was non-existent. It is thus with all guilt. Friedrich Nietzsche

Was Nietzsche right in holding all guilt an illusion? If we have no free will and are merely creatures of circumstance then yes, guilt is an illusion.

But if we have a choice, and even a constrained choice, then guilt may have a reality.

Of course, the relationship of guilt to crime is not as obvious as some suggest. And much crime is driven by circumstance.

That said, Nietzsche's point is worth thinking over even if best ultimately rejected.

I don't leave a comment, but after reading through a few of the comments on "Although the most acute judges of the witches and even the witches themselves, were convinced of the guilt of witchery, the guilt nevertheless was non-existent. It is thus with all guilt. Friedrich Nietzsche". I do have 2 questions for you if you do not mind. Could it be only me or do a few of these comments look as if they are left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing on other sites, I would like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Would you make a list of every one of all your shared pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
