If you have a reference where Nietzsche said that, I’m interested. Of course I disagree. The Unique World Idea looks more like he Christian Sin of Pride, to me, and Plato created science by allowing himself to doubt the animal’s criterion of reality (I can smell, see, touch … it). That’s how both mathematics, physics, and eventually mathematical logic are born.
