The second part of a two-parter we began near the beginning of this season. The completion of our analysis of Ecce Homo. In this episode, we consider Nietzsche's reviews of his own books, and argue that it presents a creative narrative of Nietzsche's life: Nietzsche as a tragic figure. Nietzsche mythologizes himself and the circumstances of his great works, dabbling in exaggerations and lacunae - but nevertheless providing an invaluable interpretation the significance of his entire career, and commentary on the development of his thought. With Nietzsche's comments, we can construe his life's work into an early period, an affirmative period that begins with his middle works and culminates with Zarathustra, and a critical period that characterizes his later work.

Agree 100%.

[@edgarh7879]

Man I just recently stumbled upon your channel and even though I am german and read Nietzsche in german, the way you break things down is so enlightening. With this constant output of high quality content you provide every single time it will not take long before this channel blows up. 🙏

Vielen Dank, das ist das höchste Lob

Ich bin also nicht der einzige...

[@Dhrrhee3e11a76]

I'm honestly in shock at how wonderful this episode is, your discussion of Nietzsche's deflation after writing Zarathustra is extremely relatable and nearly moved me to tears.
I am very lucky to have discovered this podcast.

[@InternetCrusader-rb7ls]

I appreciate the effort and depth you put into these episodes.

20th century philosophers: "We love you!"
Nietzsche: "I know."

[@RealityFiles]

Would love to see you go in on Julius Evola and his critique of Nietzsche in Ride the Tiger. Similar to your Jung video!
What's your take in this? th-cam.com/video/Oj3aN7Pxht4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EOAC8pX711wYs_Ta

[@idolfan6531]

Great content. Helps alot to concentrate while working. Maybe i should move beyond "Thus spoke Zarathustra", but its the only work of his that connected with me. Is there maybe another work of his, which is not too "dry", but comparably lively as Thus spoke Zarathustra?

[@kalwardin5984]

Great video as always but can you recommend a good biography on nietzsche

[@truthpreppin7630]

In the desolate garden of existence, another withered flower blooms, a poignant reminder of the impermanence that governs our lives. The cramped ceilings of reality suffocate our potential, forcing us to crouch in the shadows of our true selves.
A man leads triple lives, a trifecta of existence born of duplicity or ignorance? Does he live with blinders to conceal the truth or deceive himself with falsehoods? I confront him, seeking his opinion of destiny.
''Perhaps someday I'll comprehend,'' he replies, his voice but a faint whisper. I press on, inquiring about the burden he seems to carry, only to be met with a paradox:
''The weight of a feather will crush those who dare to assist me.''
With a steadfast gaze, I grab him by the shoulders, my eyes locking onto his. ''You are an architect in and of this life but not the sole author of your fate. External force can alter the narrative; the power to choose resides within you but not alone. The decisions ahead are daunting, yet they are yours to make.

As I lay me down to sleep, a new Nietszche video!

[@6ixthhydro652]

Would LOVE to see your analysis of compare of contrasting Kierkegaards knight of faith vs the ubermench and his three stages of personal transformation in fear and trembling vs Nietzsche’s camel, dragon and child stages of development. Could be a lot of interesting things to unpack.

[@alexanderleuchte5132]

"Also sprach Zarathustra" is a world-changing book. If your world is still the same after reading it, it wasn't meant for you to begin with

[@gus8310]

Would you ever consider doing an episode on Walter kaufmann and his life?

[@phillipjordan1010]

Hey Salts, just curious are you multi lingual? I've recall hearing speak some german and french words and your pronunciation sounded decent. Im always working on my pronunciations of my target languages. Not an easy thing at all

[@Havre_Chithra]

Let's go!

[@untimelyreflections]

Let’s!

[@wes5614]

What's the best book to get his early writings, the pre Socratics, untimely meditations...

[@sethgaston8347]

Isn’t it beautiful how polite and enthusiastic these comments are. It’s like the stigma laypeople attach to Nietzsche is completely and purposefully misleading.

[@venturasilva1103]

Hey Mr. Salts, would you know what happened to Vivienne?

[@untimelyreflections]

I think she realized that podcasting wasn’t for her. Still talk to her but she has left public life from my understanding, kind of a shame.

[@bobcabot]

im pretty sure Fritz would have liked your classically pronunciation...

[@amorfati4096]

I’m No man I’m dynamite; Nietzsche sounds like rap artists .

[@languagegame410]

hey, monsieur Keag... are you a fan of Hubert Dreyfus lectureszzzzzzz??

[@patrickpouler8767]

Just dawned on me.... you look exactly like Ian Anderson in 1969.

[@MandyMoorehol]

Ecce Homo is satire!

[@XanDionysus]

imo the worst thing I can say about Nietzsche is that calling himself a fool is the only honest and self-aware statement he has ever made.
