Awesome podcast! Greatly appreciate that you have brought this rather 'obscure'-albeit being arguably a precursor to Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy and an absolute genius in his own right. His aphorisms are remarkable, penetrating deep into the human psychology. Brilliiant! Please keep up the excellent work. Kudos and much respect for presenting us with this 'gem' .
When you are busy with your life, the concept of time didn't matter…the society has already transformed from "to do things to enjoy life " to "need constantly dealing with pressure", there are always more things need to do,just like never ending circle
Interesting. Thank you. Salons became important again in Paris in the 1920s as well. With places like Gertrude Stein's salon, the Shakespeare and Company Book Store run by Sylvia Beach and even Harry's New York Bar (I think it was called) where members of the Lost Generation would get together to drink, socialize and discuss their lives, art, literature and ideas new and old. I was lucky as a young man in my twenties to have a brief couple of years experience of participating in a similar kind of thing -- not realizing at the time what a rare experience it would turn out to be. But like Hemingway wrote in his book, it's the kind of thing -- that sparkling exchange of ideas -- that turns out to be a moveable feast for one's life. You take it with you wherever you go.
Great episode, have you or are you thinking about covering Dostoevsky and his influences on Nietzsche. Would love to hear your take on the similarities of their lives and writings.
It is eye opening how much do morals influence our though and psychology I find it fascinating, right now I am reading Human all to Human, finished Birth of Tragedy, Genealogy of Morals, Beyond Good and Evil and Gay Science, Nietzche is an author who I know I will read all of his works, his prose and insight are trascendental, he is like Kant a revolution in philosophy, and nothing after him is the same, he has had too much of an impact.
What are you drinking? It sounds like it means everything to your soul. Thank you for getting the education to the people..education which is necesssary is always appreciated. May people listen and be with what I call Inclinations/"the nature" to really love the self and everyone else by accepting truths at all costs and really get to know the self. The best inclination is to pusue knowledge and gain understanding so as to use knowledge not in vain. Acquiring wisdom will help one to "molt" and shed the ego (so one's motives are trained by habit and sincere). Real self gratification is in awareness of growth; developing integrity is real selflessness. Alchemy of the heart via aquiring wisdom is the goal and it does eliminate the wrong sort love and rids the self of impure motives. Again, thank you for this knowledge.
From 26:05-30:00 I was free associating and the words “mask” and “spiritualization” came to mind. I believe Emerson said that the invention of language is fossil poetry(the Poet essay, forgive me if I am misremembering or mistaken). Is it that words such as bravery, love, repentance, etc. as “communal adoptions” of the spiritualization/mask of a vice turned virtue? The need to spiritualize/mask seems innate to the concept “high/low society” at this point of my study into Nietzsche. I hope I’ve made myself clear, it’s 3:05A.M. where I am, and I’m preparing for my bread mixing shift.
Rochefoucauld is real af lol. After getting into nietzsche heavy ideas its pretty funny to hear this french guy say people love themselves and it drives them to do stuff.
are there any authors similar to La Rochefoucauld? i am kinda addicted to his writing and would love to know any other authors who are skilled at aphorism's. I know about Nietzsche of course.
We’re moral as long as it has function, not purely for its own sake. Moral decadence could be a luxury good. Doesn’t it make us feel better, in some cases superior?
In the salon, the objective is not to out-do the other person but if you have a better idea it should be presented, or if only to test your idea, Every expression is self-love. You have to see a relationship between will-to-power and self-love; does something become hot because it is burnt or does it burn because it is hot? Vanity is interpretation of an observer. Virtuous behavior: people who lack critical thinking, when they are vulnerable, will take any line that makes them comfortable, they will repeat the line whenever they feel threatened. "Jesus loves you and He will come and get you when the world ends, and you will be happy forever" You get the idea! Epigram 34: you said in another story, "Conscience is with the observer, not with the actor" Where the attention is, either with the activity or the feeling, that's what we know.
I think humans have many motives and one unfortunately is self interest. But not attaining pure virtue isnt such a deal-breaker for me . The limited version of the moral ideal is important to me. I have to think about God here. I am Christian. I believe we are made in God's image but we are sullied creatures somehow, very imperfect with the potential for abysmal behaviour. We're not pure good. But i think we have a limited good as the images of God. We have a speck of gold somewhere in the muck. And i love that part of me. I think now no matter its size the pursuit of developing this is worthwhile and that means doing the annoying right thing although it feels unsavoury for now. Self interest is part of who we are. I wouldn't automatically see this as bad and especially in the religious framework when the self interest can be to reap the rewards of living wisely such as a peace of mind. Its even not about heaven its about being at peace in this realm. Its underrated and im probably still underrating it somewhere. But its a powerful force - conscience - when you've done something wrong. If i were to take self love in vanity sense, i think I'd be en route to folly. But thats me and i may have extra limitations. A transcendental self love through God not your will to power, and being a limited image of his goodness is i think safer. More successful. It allows me to also accept and work with my unfortunate human nature instead of self denial which can lead me astray and remove whatever tiny speck of pure goodness there may exists in the good deed at all if 90% is self interest theres some 10 that isn't and self denial when I'm fallen creature with original sin never mind the many subsequents, can makes me a pure ahole. For humans have many motives and as social species our self interest also requires considering other self interests. Why has every utopia failed? And caused unfathomably more harm? Stop denying human nature. Youre not a saint. But that doesnt mean we're inherently completely sinner. Life, if we say it hypothetically can exist with inherent absolute selfishness would be so much EASIER Yes peace of mind is self interest. But how do you know what you think you're doing is leading to a good outcome? You need a frame of reference. When i say something i don't mean because its easy and pleasant to appease and feel troubled it's not easily apparent if you want to hide that you've done wrong. But you feel perturbed that you breached trust, that you've opened a can of worm consequence, consistency bias, self respect, cowardly etc many things Now let me find rochefucold's teachings on BREVITY
The symposia of the Greeks were attended by women (hetairai), however, they were not of the same rank as a French noblewoman would’ve been. A hetaira can be thought of as a geisha, or conversationalist/socialite who was easy on the eyes, playful and intellectually adept.
I'm a fan, and personally I think you could make your channel even better if you minimized how often you sniffle, swallow, and breathe into the mic- it's personally pretty distracting from the otherwise very clear and concise speech (I have misophonia though, and I recognize I'm in the minority of people who are bothered by this)

I’m so glad I found this channel. Just finished beyond good and evil and now gonna start twilight of the idols. Love the inspiration found on here 🙏
1:08:43 i.e. There is virtue in being a peaceful man, but none in being a harmless one.

I really like your calm lovely voice- it makes for easy listening
Great episode, have you or are you thinking about covering Dostoevsky and his influences on Nietzsche. Would love to hear your take on the similarities of their lives and writings.
I just realized that theres a massive backlog for me to go through. oh man. nice.
Humility is a virtue when you have no other.
It’s really eye opening how immoral we all are and how we cloud it all with virtue. Vanity is the skin of the soul
This channel is amazing

14:52 the copy I’ve got is titled merely “Maxims”. Consequently, I’m reassessing the whole book now!?!?
Nice one ☝️
Enjoyed this a lot, thank you
Schopenhauer said they are not really maxims. They are observations.
Wow I'll jump into any opportunity to acculturation possible in the briefest time possible

Yeah, its almost like light reading after some of Nietzsche’s material, but still really insightful
What a fantastic video
I am desire, it’s all about me
This has served as an introduction introduction to La Rochefoucauld for me. Is it fair to say he believed in psychological egoism?
Thanks!
Great work!
are there any authors similar to La Rochefoucauld? i am kinda addicted to his writing and would love to know any other authors who are skilled at aphorism's. I know about Nietzsche of course.
Emil Cioran's later works maybe
Eric hoffer is unbelievably similar. Try passionate state of mind.
Oscar Wilde
Heraclitus is the OG of such style. Go deep into his stuff and you won't regret it.
Oscar Wilde, William Blake, immediately come to mind.
I love questioning morality & motivations. Are there modern thinkers who know Nietzsche & evolutionary psychology?
Jung I would say?
@@gus8310 He was too early for modern evolutionary theory. Needs to be current.
@@bryanutility9609 don’t think there is anyone then, maybe Sam Harris with his free will debate? My knowledge of other thinkers of our age is low
