I know Jim read a lot of Huxley, as well as William Blake and either got the band name from Huxley's book 'The Doors of Perception' or from the Blake quote "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite."

Also as you said Friedrich Nietzsche, you might also want to check out Arthur Rimbaud, as well as Jack Kerouac, Joseph Campbell, Antonin Artaud, and Charles Baudelaire.
