View of Nietzsche
editNote that the section about "View of Nietzsche" doesn´t actually talk about Nietzsche´s View but rather about his biography. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.248.1.11 (talk • contribs) 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Naming
edit28-October-2006: I named the article with the lower-case "riddle" since the term appeared in many searched webpages as "world riddle" (lower-case). Today, I have created several other WP synonymous terms stored as "#REDIRECT" to the "World riddle" article, since it is an unusual term known by several names:
- "world-riddle" - as a hyphenated term;
- "World Riddle" - mapped as upper-case "Riddle" to the article;
- "Welträthsel" - as the German spelling with umlaut "a" + "th";
- "Welträtsel" - as the German spelling with umlaut "a" + just a "t" (no "h");
- "Weltraetsel" - as the German spelling with vowels "ae" + just a "t" (no "h");
- "Riddle of the Universe" - English title of Haeckel's book, without "The"
Google had over 3,600 references to the "world riddle" as the English spelling, and Haeckel wrote about the term over 100 years ago, so there should be numerous other references, such as within books. It is a famous term within philosophical debates. -Wikid77 17:33, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Music
editI have noticed several references to the "world riddle" in explaining the analysis of musical compositions, but haven't added details, yet. -Wikid77 17:33, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
References
editPlease note that Haeckel does not refer to Nietzsche's view on world riddles, at least not at first place. Haeckel's major aim was to reject or solve Emil du Bois-Reymond's seven world-riddles, formulated in 1880. [1] Maybe someone whose first language is English and who is more capable in editing wiki-sites than I am could correct this.

Nietzsche: "World Riddle"?
editDid Nietzsche actually use the term in Also Sprach Z., or was that term derived by by Haeckel, et al.? Nietzsche refers to [On or Of] the Vision and the Riddle, but I don't believe the term "World Riddle" (Welt Rätsel, Welträtsel, etc. ) is used. ~Eric F 74.60.29.141 (talk) 19:03, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
