@ashtool I get lost and bored reading modern conservative intellectual literature, and am not incredibly intelligent - yet I understand Nietzsche and find his writing exciting and such an 'epic ride', while the same intellectuals I can't understand - possibly simply because I can't confide in them - can't grasp Nietzsche themselves!
Interesting! Nietzsche is one of the most fascinating philosophers of all time, and not many read him straight through. I think he admired the Greeks and Romans! I have read some of his work, and it is a bit frightening, too.
Still, he does have some insight into what was going on, at the time that was alive, during th e19th Century or so. I have read acouple of his works, and am from time to time reading "Thus Spoke Therathrustra", which of course was meant as a Holy Book of sorts!
Interesting! Nietzsche is one of the most fascinating philosophers of all time, and not many read him straight through. I think he admired the Greeks and Romans!
So this video initially starts by declaring a need for uprise but then ends saying all men at the problem and we need rid of them. Well what the hell are we supposed to do with such nihilism Nietzsche?
@clarkewi That may just be the worst ad-hominem I've ever come across. By this logic, if Einstein would have went insane from a brain tumor or syphilis we should disbelieve in his theories.
@clarkewi There's no evidence that his philosophy drove him mad. That's a fanciful idea that his detractors like to promote. There is, however, evidence that indicates that he almost certainly died of a brain tumor like his father. He was initially diagnosed with syphilis at an asylum in Basle, Switzerland, but his symptoms before and after his dementia are consistent with the slow development of a brain tumor. Look up an article titled "Madness of Nietzsche was cancer not syphilis".
Now a days they are caught between partisanism and anger and the rope between these two is getting lost. Pretty soon they will try to do some triangularisms' to find the resolve that has just crushed themselves - this is politics. Trying to crush libya when it is there only way out! The realm is the knock upon your door selling you wisdom! Are you going to buy it - that is the question?
Our post modern grieving leading to hopelessness...just keep calm and carry on. Science is the next overman event. The rational belief system driven by modernist empirical ideas combined with what we called social justice or liberalism has proven to be an imperfect system because of the imperfections of man. Which looking deep into the darkness of our own soul we must find hope and faith to be better for if not, we cannot survive. Isn't this what our manifestations of God and science are?
@kilox10001 Then you havn't found those in power, yet. Once you have found them, start asking questions about them with your friends, family, co-workers and you will be pushing your freedom of speech rights to the county line of the hate speech laws. I would be curious as to who wrote those laws and who they really protect. Some countries will send you straight to jail for questioning them and their lies. Good luck with your inquiry.
He suffered from syphilis which caused brain damage .His anti-social nature and contempt for people caused him to become a lonely hermit and alcoholic who had sex with whores.He was raised by strict Christian parents .He was definitely right about liberalism and should've followed his own advice.
For the record, Nietzsche hated antisemitism. He saw it as an expression of ressentiment. He was also anti-Christian. That is to say he stood in firm opposition to Christian doctrine and its modern, secular, egalitarian descendants.
For those making ad hominem attacks on Nietzsche here, I'd like to point out that even though his philosophy isn't really livable, he's still a pleasure to read and his aphorisms are very thought-provoking. This is why he endures.
Neitzsche was a nutjob who was a self obsessed narcassist who had a history of mental illness. I can't take most of what he says seriously because his philosophy was built upon a complete rejection of Metaphysics.
Question Control: Money, MEDIA, politics, education, law, religion. Who holds the upper echelon of these matters has an overwhelming amount of control over the direction of this country and the society within it. If you want to know who has this power, simply discover who you may not criticize.
Nietzsche was a hypochondriac who dreamed about 'der Übermensch' and living a grand live full of risks and danger but never did anything more exciting than a walk in the Alps. He was declared insane in 1889 and remained in a state of mental paralysis until he died. Some 'overman'....
Nietzsche's not an irrationalist. He simply recognizes that the matters that are of most interest to people, over which they're willing to fight one another, cannot be resolved by a simple process of logical deduction, since they stem from contrary instincts, each with their own internal logic that is necessary to the possessors' sense of purpose. He follows up the internal logic of many different instincts, and plays them off against each other, without ever formally announcing the shifts.
I keep reading messages that complain about Nietzsche's inconsistencies! If you look for rigid and constant rationality then you're denying the human condition, nothing is static. That's what I cherish about Nietzsche, he was well aware of his contradictions, but kept going on without becoming obsessed with one perception/philosophy... what I feel when I read Nietzsche is essentially one thing: Overcome, and become stronger...and do it your own way!
Philosophically, Nietzsche is a mystic and an irrationalist. His metaphysics consists of a somewhat “Byronic” and mystically “malevolent” universe; his epistemology subordinates reason to “will,” or feeling or instinct or blood or innate virtues of character. But, as a poet, he projects at times (not consistently) a magnificent feeling for man’s greatness, expressed in emotional, not intellectual, terms.
@FreeEcon Nietzsche's epistemic philosophy was empiricism. He believed that knowledge could only be obtained by the senses. He also believed that everything in the universe is will to power, but that belief isn't very mystical or malevolent if you understand his thesis. His idea of eternal recurrence was also somewhat mystical, but it wasn't literal. It was a thought experiment to argue for amor fati.
@bxjam85 Yes, ONLY from the senses, as if that's enough, when in fact, you need reason to disseminate and integrate the information your senses detect into real practical knowledge.
@FreeEcon Indeed, but rational inference can only be utilized after something is detected by the senses. Nietzsche should have said that knowledge is primarily attained via the senses, but he made it clear in other passages that rational inference was also needed to discover truth.
@bxjam85 Well of course, it doesn't make any sense to utilize rational inference before. He should have clarified even further, and actually use more precise language in expressing his ideas, as opposed to figurative and poetic bromides
@FreeEcon The statement he made about knowledge and the senses was not done in a figurative or poetic manner. He simply did not articulate his view on the matter well in that instance. Nietzsche was capable of human error. He also didn't disagree with everyone as you imply. He would have been the typical Western philosopher if he didn't use poetry, metaphor, aphorism and irony in his works. He would have also been typical if he hadn't challenged the conventions of modernity.
@bxjam85 On the one hand you say he didn't disagree with everyone. On the other you say he challenged the conventions of modernity.
That blunder aside, which would you say is more important; to be understandable, decipherable, and legible, or to be ambiguous, esoteric, and open-ended, but "creative"?
@FreeEcon Challenging the conventions of modernity doesn't equate to disagreeing with everyone. How did you manage to reach that conclusion with the use of logic?
Nietzsche's not very difficult for a good reader to understand. If you have no appreciation for literature, you wont appreciate Nietzsche's style and that's perfectly fine with me. His most straightforward work is On the Genealogy of Morality. Maybe you can appreciate that one.
@bxjam85 Semantics aside; I don't mean literally EVERYONE.
Oh, and again with the elitist "Any good reader of literature can understand and appreciate Nietzsche." First off, that means nothing. It's only your personal opinion and it has nothing to do with what is right or wrong about his philosophy. Second, what kind of self righteous bloke must you be to think that you can say such a thing with a straight face? I'm guessing it was one of those things that someone else told you, thereby...
@FreeEcon ... tricking you into seeing something in Nietszhe's work that you wouldn't have otherwise seen. It's like postmodernists who often babble nonsense, or speak wonders of specific kinds of aesthetics and philosophy that you don't find attractive, but are too afraid of speaking out for sounding like a fool in their eyes. Absolutely pathetic. I pity you
@bxjam85 To sum up, here is what I think of Nietzsche. Yes, in a figurative sense his poetic style is nice, but it doesn't communicate actual philosophy. Actual philosophy consists of a set of proofs and premises that logically sets a conclusion. That is not what Nietzsche does, and when he does do that, often times he is wrong. This leads me to believe that actual communication has nothing to do with it. It's only to convince the weak minded like yourself that you are reading great teachings
@FreeEcon Fine. Now I will sum it up on my end. Nietzsche was not an academic/professional philosopher and anyone who reads him that way has already shot themselves in the foot, which is likely why you believed Nietzsche was a mystic. It would be silly of me to say that Nietzsche was 100% accurate but I don't know of any thinker who was 100% accurate. Your problem isn't that you're "weak minded" or impressionable. Your problem is that you're pompous, condescending and presumptuous.
I have a serious problem with this video. There are words like "genius, enlightenment, road to wisdom, prophet of greatness" missing in the tags. With such briliant thinking.. It's unbelievable how little interest Nietzsche gets in this idiotic world.. But as always when great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved, as a rule the the world is mistaken. The minority are right.
