The significance of Nietzsche is not that he developed a new philosophy or destroyed the old idea of philosophy, but that he fought a battle with philosophy in the age of the Death of God. He offered a 'new gospel', but this founders on its own contradictions, especially on the idea that philosophy can take the form of anti-philosophy. Nietzsche's 'failure', however, was his achievement and success, because only his passion for philosophy allowed him to fail in such a tragic way, just as it allowed the revelation of philosophy that occurs in his writings.
