And ye tell me, friends, that there is to be no dispute about taste and tasting? But all life is a dispute about taste and tasting!
Against friends who say taste admits no dispute, Zarathustra says that taste is itself weight, scales and weigher, and that living means disputing over it.
- Revaluation of values (old and new tables)Taste is weight, scales and weigher at once, so valuing is the ongoing struggle of life itself.
What the critics said
Ludovici says the sublime ones are a type Nietzsche did not wholly dislike but who take life too seriously and never surmount the camel stage; real greatness is to speak of lofty things without being oppressed by them, and Nietzsche breaks old things not with the anarchist's irreverence but with the fingers of an artist at ease with beauty, guided by his own taste.
