Nietzsche on Logic

Just wanted to throw some of these experiments out there.

Sends chills down my spine. I'm glad to learn you're familiar with Nietzsche. To my mind, his epistemology marks the beginning of philosophy 2.0.

I find it interesting that you used the word "Truth" at the beginning of the video. That is, that our evolution isn't bringing us closer to "Truth." Do you believe in objective "Truth?" I find this incredible considering what you read afterward.

It really doesn't seem like you could make any of these arguments since they rely so heavily on logic itself, the thing that you are rejecting and attempting to disprove. But I'd guess you already knew that.

Haha, right. GS 173 always reminded me of the end of the Tractatus.

Nietzsche was apparently reading some Wittgenstein :)

absolutely right snarge. can knowledge, or the "will to truth", be an ascetic?, yes, but even so it can still be an affirmation of life rather than a denial, as mentioned in "on the geneology of morals" in the essay on ascetics.

however i may be all wrong about this since i haven't finished reading it yet, and this is the first book i've read from neiztche. please leave me a comment of you agree or disagree.

Just a quick remark here:

Nietzsche's thought evolved between GS and his final books. In Twilight of the Idols he no longer thought that logic falsifies reality, he thought it never even comes into contact with it. He also applauds the "sense for facts" and cause and effect.

I like the specific passage you cited. It's Nietzsche at his most Hume-ish moment.

This is a very good point Cashify! (and that one is even mostly applied on Nietzsche, if you know what I mean..) But still, there is no way I can concider a person with mental disorder an inferior individual or an ''abnormal'' one, as many would have said! Again, it is a personnal belief, but one I would gladly share.

[Cashify]

Medical science is no more equipped now to recognize the symptoms or treat someone in mental state transition than they were then. Back then it was all just "nervous" disorder. Now they have half a dozen ways to classify people. But still anyone who exhibits "unusual" ways of perceiving or reasoning is labeled as having a pathology. Philosophers and mystics who sincerely inquire into the nature of reality go through transition. People need love, not restraints whether physical or drugs.
