    I hate to say it, but Jordan misquotes him. He doesn't say "I can write in a sentence what it takes another man a book to write," instead, he says, "I wish to be able to write in a sentence what it takes another man a book to write." He wasn't being arrogant, he was being hopeful.

      just read one book and you will go into the abyss do not worry there will be one to guide you through who is known as Nietzsche and once you come back from that abyss you will meet a new man, an enlightened man. But i must say to read nietzsche you must read two more books one being the Schopenhauer's the world as will and represtation and kant's the critique of pure reason. Then you will have a better understanding. there are book that are recommended to read before Nietzsche for me I had read Kant in detail before reading Nietzsche, and when I started reading Nietzsche and some unfamiliar names popped up, I left reading Nietzsche to read that person's main work first. so that is also a way but not recommended. Do not start with the birth of tragedy, start with the genealogy of morals instead.

      @@Coolnfts123 thats a valueable insight but after evaluating your ideas I've to say that this is not necessary to the full extent. Its useful for a better understanding and context, but I believe that you dont have to read it in depth in order to understand Nietzsche. ChatGPT version-4 is already actually super-intelligent and very cohesive. It can practically summarize and even give details about the core ideas of those philosophers and their set of believes. You can easily ask GPT for a detailed summary and then ask further questions if you dont understand specific points. After having done that with Schopenhauer and Kant, you're good to delve deeply into the work of Nietzsche. I myself, around 10 years ago read Nietzsche without having read Schopenhauer and Kant, understood him fine and got depressed as well :)

Perhaps he deceived you… One pays a teacher badly if one always remains nothing but a pupil. And why do you not want to pluck at my wreath? You revere me; but what if your reverence tumbles one day? Beware lest a statue slay you. You say that you believe in Zarathustra? But what matters Zarathustra? You are my believers - but what matter all believers? You had not yet sought yourselves; and you found me. Thus do all believers; therefore all faith amounts to so little. Now I bid you to lose me and find yourselves; and only then when you have all denied me will I return to you.
      Maybe collective in the sense that we are all going our own way but do not think that we are a movement or an ideology or a common force. The ubermench will come from us finding our own path.

    This is a brief but excellent introduction to the life & thought of Friedrich Nietzsche; some of your images are superb. You should now extend this
    video with references to Schopenhauer, Darwin, & Wagner...as well as by including his ideas on the master/slave morality, the will to power, & the eternal recurrence of this same universe. Nietzsche focused on the lasting value of a superior individual, not on the collective herd. Reacting to those comments below, it must be stressed that Nietzsche's ill health & death had nothing to do with his impressive creativity & remarkable genius. Yes, Nietzsche's profound worldview has greatly influenced the ongoing evolution of philosophy forever. Prof. Dr. Dr. H. James Birx, New York

    When you are young, your body is the best it will ever be, and you are like a god. As you age, you lose your youthfulness, and your powers are stripped away. You lose your god-like qualities, and fall further away from the ubermensch state, never to be regained. And death is the great equalizer, as no matter what path you take in life, you always end up at the same destination as everyone else - dead. But even with struggle and heartache, you can choose to live your best life, to walk along the best path that you can muster. And it will be worth it, because you will have raised children to be their best selves, and interacted with others in a way that makes them lead their best lives, and to be a part of that is enough.

It’s a matter of perspective. You sound like you have resentment towards life and the unfortunate things that have been happening, let that resentment/sense of injustice go, and the weight of how much “ life genuinely sucks” will go with it.
      This is how you will become superior to others, despite the damages, you still can be better than most. You know thats true

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@johnf.r6658If you think Nietzsche wants you to enjoy your suffering, you are mistaken. Strength here is nothing more than the magnitude of your ability to endure the burden and suffering of following certain wills. The quote is worth little without context. But hey, you probably do deal better with suffering, than most.
      You mentioned how you resent the randomness of your circumstances and Nietzsche recognizes this as something innately human. Lamenting the past and the randomness thereof is part of the greatest threat everyone faces. He calls it the Spirit of Revenge. It is the call to nihilism itself, the randomness and absolution the past holds over ourselves.
      Suffering for Nietzsche is not something to enjoy and his Zarathustra laments and fears suffering immensely. Instead, his lesson is to give it purpose through your will. To alleviate the randomness by giving meaning to circumstances through a form of art. Here a few quotes on the matter:
      “And how could I endure to be a man, if man were not also the composer, and riddle-reader, and redeemer of chance!
      To redeem what is past, and to transform every “It was” into “Thus would I have it!”-that only do I call redemption!”
      “One thing is needful. -- To "give style" to one’s character-- a great and rare art! It is practiced by those who survey all the strengths and weaknesses of their nature and then fit them into an artistic plan until every one of them appears as art and reason and even weaknesses delight the eye.
      Here a large mass of second nature has been added; there a piece of original nature has been removed -- both times through long practice and daily work at it.
      Here the ugly that could not be removed is concealed; there it has been reinterpreted and made sublime. Much that is vague and resisted shaping has been saved and exploited for distant views; it is meant to beckon toward the far and immeasurable.”

Nietzsche talked about mental strength or willpower which is achievable by any man woman or child who is dedicated enough, i believe this conceptual idea of philosophers being in peak physical condition is outdated although the greeks saw it as necessary, in modern society we don't need to place such a high value on physiques and rather on freethinking.

Obviously there were other factors for his insanity but I will always maintain that one of the factors of Nietzche going made was him following his own world view.

    Nietzsche never quite answered "why" we must aspire to be superhuman? If in the end existing is as good as not existing, or at least existing is just a prelude to non-existing, why must anyone do anything at all? Hevel, hevel, vanity of vanities, saith the preacher. Nietzsche's declaration that God is dead is not to be taken in the promethean sense that it is usually interpreted. Rather, God's death is a profound tragedy. Hence why Nietzsche makes a madman declare it. It is not so much that God is dead, but that Europe had, in its hubris, lost the ability to have faith. That too, not all of Europe. Western Europe specifically, which broke away from worldview in which Logos was at the centre of human existence. The rupture with the old world happened in the Protestant rejection of Catholicism and it's intellectual tradition that held Truth, Goodness and Beauty in balance. Modern world is essentially the three solas without God behind it. I am self-sufficient. My own mind is enough. My interpretation is supreme. Nietzsche's philosophy most certainly did not improve the lives of people. Nazis were inspired by his vision. His own sister was an incurable antisemite. For a man who raged against pity, Nietzsche fell victim to his own humanity. Nietzsche collapsed in Turin while trying to protect a horse being flogged. 19th, 20th and 21st century is simply a tragic world. Without Magesterium, there is only the morass of conflicting interpretations.

      The true superhuman is a saint, transfigured in the image of Christ. Nietzsche wanted a godless, demonic superhuman who can crush the weak under his heels. That has been tried and it has failed. Read the epic of Gilgamesh. In the end, it is pity that saved him.

      The professor and teaching assistant for a Nietzsche course in college said Nietzsche does not give a rigorous philosophical justification for his views. So I have the same question your comment starts with. Given his views that there are not objective truths, it seems like that would be consistent, but doesn’t answer the question. I guess since we have to make decisions (even if it’s to do nothing) attempt to do what we each think is best?

      @@lonelycubicle: It is utterly arbitrary though, isn't it? What does "best" stand for in your sentence? What we each think is "best"? Based on what? This is the kind of mushy thinking that passes for philosophy these days. There is no good, better, bad and worst without a cogent canon of values to hang these labels on. We can say I travelled a 1000 kilo meters to get here, but this is compared to a single kilo meter, which is itself measured against meter and so on and so forth. So when you say "best", the question is as compared to what? What is the unit of measurement you're using? Yourself? What are you? You'd have to say, I am human. Now, we'd have to ask: What does it mean to be human? Of course, for this we must start with the question of the ideal man, which cannot be answered without accounting for the moral reality of man. We can only quantify and grade quality with a standard, like say 24 karat gold. The ideal man is Christ, saith this Catholic.

      If the world’s best philosophers/thinkers [add whatever groups of people should be included] can not agree on what is the best way to live a life, people have to make decisions and what is left except for each person to attempt to live their life as best they can? That’s all I meant by ‘best’.

    • @Ordinary_Catholic
      @Ordinary_Catholic ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@lonelycubicle That is precisely my point. The world's best philosophers cannot agree on anything, let alone morals. That is precisely the value of philosophy. It shows the inadequacy of vacuous ratiocination based on premises that are themselves yet to be demonstrated to be true. Now there are two alternatives. To brute force your way through life, to act as if good and evil does not exist, that objective truth is a lie, and "only interpretations" exist. Or you can go beyond yourself in another way - through faith and revelation. Clearly, you prefer the first. But I have to ask, do you actually live as if there is no objective reality, that there are only interpretations. For me, how we live is the test of our philosophical fidelity.
      I don't know where you live, but let's say you're a New Yorker and you get mugged and stabbed in a dingy alleyway, would you still hold to your proposition that there are no moral absolutes? And that the man who stabbed and stole your wallet was simply living his "will to power" in the "best way" he can? Let us raise the stakes even further. Let us say it happens to your mother or your sister or daughter, would you still hold on to your proposition? I'm sure you'll say a distinctly, objectively evil act was committed, and I pray to God you never have to come to this point in life. But I have made my point.
      Men like Nietzsche at long last were never willing to put their money where their mouths are. And those who did wreaked extraordinary destruction upon humanity. And you think the saints of the Catholic Church were some spineless men who dared not go where Nietzsche went? St Augustine had already seen what Nietzsche saw. He even called named the problem: Libido Dominandi, the Lust to Dominate. You only need to read the City of God.
      Bottom line is this: We as humanity have been there, tried that and now have the t-shirt. Nietzsche is dead. I recommend watch Hitchcock's The Rope, a wonderful movie that takes Nietzschean Will to Power to it's logical conclusion.

    Nietzsche lacked common experiences that are a basis for much of human society and morality.. of course he was very intelligent and perceptive and his philosophy is very interesting and in many ways enlightening.. however the way he is interpreted leads me to think that he lacked two experiences that are key.. I don't know if he ever really hurt anyone in his life.. I mean hurt them very deeply like breaking the heart of a young girl.. surely he would feel remorse for the pain he caused.. The other experience is that of having children and a family.. this lack of experience surely colors the way that he analyzed life and society.

    • @zjaeger1800

      thats completly true. One of the most wise things to know before reading a philosopher is to realize and to admit that the world the author is producing and judging about is simply his world, build around his experience of life mostly as a (subjective) deduction. Even if some deductions are true objectively, it is always the sum and the point of view that determines how bright the world or life can be. Nietzsche did not seem to have much fullfillment in life in terms of receiving and showing love.
