Journal pyrrho's Journal: Beyond Good And Evil: aphorism 2
In this aphorism Neitzsche asks questions about fundamental opposites, good vs. bad, light vs. dark, truth vs falsety. He suggests there may be no opposites, these ideas might be "foreground estimates" and "provisional perspectives".
It takes a while to grok the relation of this to Nietzche's other question, which is "Can something come from it's opposite?" or "How could it?". Can will to truth come from will to deception? Can selfless deeds generate from selfish ones? The relation, I guess, is that this genesis would be why they are related. One idea comes from the other, and so they are connected. It's definition is designed in contrast to the first, to make a distinction.
