J.P. Stern on Nietzsche: Section 1

urgeist [dot] org

Schopenhauer is the best. no doubt about it!

nietzsches ideas are eternal recurrence,will to power,the overman,they are the big ideas.

love the ties!

Brits discussing Nietzsche over some tea. It's comedic. But their discussion of N isn't too bad. A lot of the claims are not in vogue anymore, though.

@Thresholds I don't see why Nietzche would disaprove of this kind of conversation

Monty Python has nothing on these guys.

I think Nietzsche would have prefered "The Comfy Chair" to this staid montone.

Zarathustra would have simply flipped the loveseat over and goosed these fellows off the stage.

This is like a Shakespeare love poem being read by a robot.

"Shall I compare there to a toggle bolt?"

Anti-Nietzschean to the hilt, and the tang and beyond.

I've only got one thing to say about this clip and that is:

BEIGE

the one thing i really like about nietzsche is the concept of learning and growing from your suffering. also, although this video states that he went insane in his later years, it fails to mention that when he collapsed into insanity, it was immediately after witnessing a man being extrememly cruel to a horse. it was the straw that broke the camels back for him i suppose. I certainly find the abuse of innocent beings to be supremely disturbing, and in an exclusive class of evil.

His psychotic breakdown was a result of the siphilis he contracted in a brothel as a student.
