The true world, an idea no longer of use for anything, not even obligating, is superfluous and consequently refuted

The passage

The "true world", an idea that is no longer of use for anything, no longer even obligating, an idea become useless, superfluous, is consequently a refuted idea: let us abolish it!

5. Die "wahre Welt" - eine Idee, die zu Nichts mehr nütz ist, nicht einmal mehr verpflichtend, - eine unnütz, eine überflüssig gewordene Idee, folglich eine widerlegte Idee: schaffen wir sie ab! (Heller Tag; Frühstück; Rückkehr des bon sens und der Heiterkeit; Schamröthe Plato's; Teufelslärm aller freien Geister.)

5. The "true world" – an idea that is no longer of use for anything, no longer even obligating, – an idea become useless, superfluous, consequently a refuted idea: let us abolish it! (Bright day; breakfast; return of bon sens and of cheerfulness; Plato's blush of shame; devilish din of all free spirits.)

Götzen-Dämmerung oder Wie man mit dem Hammer philosophirt »Wie die ›wahre Welt‹ endlich zur Fabel wurde. Geschichte eines Irrthums«, stages 1–6

GD, »Wie die ›wahre Welt‹ endlich zur Fabel wurde«, stage 5: »Die "wahre Welt" - eine Idee, die zu Nichts mehr nütz ist, nicht einmal mehr verpflichtend, - eine unnütz, eine überflüssig gewordene Idee, folglich eine widerlegte Idee: schaffen wir sie ab!« The claim depends on c-nietzsche-true-world-not-obligating by the stage's own connective: »nicht einmal mehr verpflichtend« takes stage 4's result as the last use the idea had, and »folglich« draws the refutation. The map has not formalized the step as an argument, because the passage from "of no use" to "refuted" has no stated premise; a reader who wants it checked may ask for it to be made an argument. The next stage records the abolition, c-nietzsche-abolishing-true-world-abolishes-apparent, without a step the map could set a dependency on.

Whose voice. The map reads stage 5 as Nietzsche's own, following the owner's reading of 2026-10-10 (CHANGELOG.md): the stage's parenthesis, »Teufelslärm aller freien Geister«, names the free spirits (that Nietzsche writes of himself and his kind under that name in other texts is not in the map), and the next stage, c-nietzsche-abolishing-true-world-abolishes-apparent, ends in »INCIPIT ZARATHUSTRA«; the chapter has no sentence that separates the two. On the reading cited on the argument node (Clark 1990, ch. 3), on which the stages are positions Nietzsche himself passed through, stage 5 is his as well. Stage 4 keeps its framing as the positivist stage, whose parenthesis names a position, »Positivismus«, as stages 1 and 3 name Plato and Königsberg; the reason is on a-nietzsche-true-world-does-not-obligate. This stage takes that stage's result, »nicht einmal mehr verpflichtend«, as the last use the idea had and draws its own conclusion from it. The reading may be disputed like any other.
