Nietzsche didn't like Socrates, and probably for the same reason he preferred to see himself as anti-christian.

I personally understand FN to have been the Steven Hawking of the Psyche and the worlds first Psychologist. Actually in my readings FN has great respect for Plato and goes back and forth in a love hate relationship.

FN was a peer to Plato and was in a position to criticize. Philosophers are notorious for their sometimes petty and sometimes profound differences.

I find that Nietzsche's profundity and confounding writings mirror the enigma of reality itself or gordian World Knot.

No doubt Nietzsche had a love hate thingy with Christianity as well. His understanding of St. Paul and law surpasses most of the ardent Calvinists on this forum.

Plato had him beat by 2271 years.
