Anyone here read Nietzsche ?

[Taras Bulba**]

I just read his entire opus for the second time and I am glad that I did it.

The central concepts oh his were something familiar to me since I have a similar outlook on ethics,religion and psychology.

Feel free to ask me anything about him and his philosophy and I will try to answer you as prudent as I can.

Other of his readers are welcome to offer their own opinion on Nietzsche's concepts like Overman,Eternal Recurrence,Will To Power,Master And Slave Morality etc.

I've read it several times.
The movie is an atrocity should have gone straight to DVD imo.

 

[PolishHeadlock]

People have told me I have a Nietzche outlook on life.

Go through my post history and tell me if thats true

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

Good $hit...

In Will to Power, he was kind of losing his mind toward the end.

I did like his short work, the Anti Christ.

Beyond GOod and Evil was good...

the Geneology of Morals was well done as well.

Agreed.As always,movie followed Nietzsche directly instead of his concepts.It goes on to show that people are more interested in a person than his work.

A reoccuring theme I noticed was that Neitzsche had a problem with the Catholic Church...

he had some really great ideas....good reads...Top 10 all time great philosophers.

You know, I've been meaning to but I somehow never had the chance. What book?

He had a problem with Christianity as a whole.He called it a life-denying religion which originated from slaves' resentment of their masters.

He said that everything that was natural was called "sinful" by the Church so that people would always feel guilty and the need for a priest to manage their lives.

He argued further that the whole Christian/Judaism morality is a reaction to the master morality of Rome.He states that slaves couldn't defeat their masters physically but had to to conquer them spiritually - that's why they took everything their masters were and called it "evil" and everything that they were "good".

That's actually a pretty interesting theory.

If you want to realize it properly you should read Antichrist,On The Genealogy Of Morals,Beyond Good And Evil and Thus Spake Zarathustra.I recommend you to read it in this specific order.

After that you can read his other works too.

 

[Taras Bulba**]

That's actually a pretty interesting theory.

It's just the epitome of the theory,it's really more articulate and precise if you read it in his books.

He argues that morality has originated from the relationship between the debtor and the loaner instead of good and evil.

I would recommend you "On the Genealogy of Morals" if you want to see him completely destroying the "innocence" of Christian morality.

I think I'll check it out

You won't regret it.I think you should read it in your mother tongue if you want to comprehend it totally.

Yup...that's what I remember reading...like how they even conquered us through language, by making us call Priests, "fathers." And how there was always one at the beginning of yoru life (baptism) and the end of your life. (funeral)

I really thought the whole concept of labeling "natural" things sinful was incredibly interesting, never thought of it that way...Nietzche was deep.

I would always recommend, "antiChrist". It's an abridged outline of all of his problems with Christianity.

German?

 

[Spoken]

Meh, can't say I'm into Nietzsche specifically, but I read a lot of Heidegger, Derrida, and Kierkegaard, so I'm in hanging with the same crowd.

his stuff on Christianity is interesting, but well deconstructed at this point. Moltmann, Benson, and Marion are helpful.

Also, Heidegger > Nietzsche

I'm not learning German to read a book
