Man’s Search for Truth

Man’s Search for Truth worldly interest, adopted the Protestant religion, and then returned to the former. In his autobiography, he writes that a house where he lived had been miraculously saved from a fire by a bishop’s prayers. The reality, however, is that events such as this always happen because of some of the other known or unknown material causes. However, believers attribute them to some ‘miracle’ of persons they hold in great reverence. This incorrect attribution is the actual source of all miraculous tales. The well-known German thinker, Friedrich Nietzsche (d. 1900), spent a sizeable portion of his last days in Switzerland. His health was generally bad. Finally, in 1888, he went insane, and later, he died in this state of madness. I have found in my studies that many ‘big’ scholars have faced this sort of tragic fate. This happens because such people are sunk deep in an extreme mental contradiction. They fail to discover any certain truth at the level of thought. However, to maintain their so-called intellectual image or stature, they continuously try to present themselves as someone who has discovered the absolute truth intellectually. This inner contradiction probably finally drives them to go mad.
