Distinctly so

My next project will be the long over fifteen minute video, where I discuss in more academic style whether there is some shamanistic element to Nietzsche's writing. Certainly Bataille picked up on that element, and made it his own. I'm referring to the use of Nietzsche's writings to achieve self-transformation and what Nietzsche referred to as "great health", perhaps after a long susceptibility to metaphysics -- an "illness". It's not that Nietzsche is a narrow identity, a shaman rather than a philosopher, but rather that his philosophy has distinct shamanic elements.
