la cerca

la cerca is for philosophy enthusiasts who believe issues of values and truth are still major considerations for continued life on this planet. It also provides a framework narrative for other interpreters of Nietzsche to use to suggest their version of WHAT it WAS Nietzsche would have said if in fact he had written the final Magnum Opus he promised during his life-time, The Re-Valuation of All Values, which, according to the consensus of subsequent Nietzsche scholars, was never completed by Nietzsche.la cerca is the fictional story of the search for the last work of Nietzsche that is discovered by a group of philosophers. It follows these characters on a journey of intrigue and suspense as the manuscript takes them on a journey that changes their lives forever. The characters discover that he did in fact write this last book while living in Naumburg, Germany during the last decade of the nineteenth century, when intellectuals thought he was a raving madman.Yet, we also learn from la cerca that during those years of his life in Naumburg, he secretly wrote his Last Words to posterity during periods of lucidity from his otherwise progressing dementia. Ultimately, the story reveals what the characters find of value and truth not only in the philosopher’s last manuscript, but also in living those values and truths as mutual friends of the furthest love. In this sense, it is a metaphoric story for every person’s search for meaning and value in life.
