Excellent presentation on Nietzsche, and related philosophy and thinking. Presented in a clear way that would reward close listening by academics and non-academics alike.
Knowledge of the Philosophies driving our societies are mandatory before having any meaningful conversation on current events. This is so needed here!!!
The discussion moves at a lucid clip and it's high time to reach for the book on my shelf by Hicks on Postmodernism as well as Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Fred.
From what I heard about Nietzsche, all that dark stuff he supposedly said about the superman and master races wasn't true, but actually it looks like it is.
Suffering is a fundamental component of the human 'condition' based upon, if nothing else, our self-awareness, and our mortality. But from this video, my main source of suffering comes from not knowing the correct pronunciation of Nietzsche! "Knee-chee" or "knee-chuh"?
Schopenhaur is consistently mis-represented it seems. This is a guy who tucked himself in reading the Upanishads every night and you wanna tell me he was a nihilist or crass materialist? I guess people aren't particularly aware of his metaphysics, but he just had a more universal and Impersonal sense of Being.. and not an individual one. The quotation about it better not to have been born is almost a colloquialism of the term Ajata. (Unborn Deathless.. never having come into existence as an object and therefore never ceasing to exist). The usual idea is Nietzsche rejected Schopenhaur's asceticism or lack of world affirmation, but I have a hunch it's Schopenhaur's full frontal attack on the very concept of becoming and individuality (and therefore individual greatness), that's at the core. As an art student Thus Spoke Zarathustra was my bible, i think he's good for young people who want to make some kind of mark, but he seems to lack some existential depth at a certain point.
I kind of share the sentiment that Nietzsche somehow lacks something. But Schopenhauer might have held the view that here is no individuality on a theoretical Level, but he was a typical weiter of the romantic age who cherished the idea of the genius and he himself did not really realise his own teachings. For that you would have to follow buddhist teachings and the idea of non- self which could lead to something else than Schopenhauers Narcissism and neuroticism.
@@neleknut2379 funny thing is I have since discovered that Nietzsche did have some kind of perception of no self later on, but in a weird way based on Heraclitan wholeism where being itself is negated.. so therefore individual will is negated.. (since there is no being apart from the whole) it's there is Twilight of the Idols. I'm more on the side of Advaita Vedanta than Buddhism, although I appreciate Buddhism, have practiced Buddhist meditation and so on in the past. I think ultimately they came to the same place from different directions. Kind of like Heraclitus negation of being and Parmenides affirmation of only Being.
GOD IS DEAD? - NAH, NIETZSCHE IS DEAD! - an interesting video!... wow the catholic church always taught that suffering is an important part of a person's growth & Neitsches copied but added, there's no meaning to life.. Ive read his books & Nitz was confused, his like a teenager that wants to wreaked what great men & women have made, he just wanted attention, he had no life love partner & was a lonely self centered person , he wrote during his mostly depressing & nihilistic times & used this value set of life & his attitude towards people he thought were lesser than him to break what had work socially since the dawn of humanity. Look at society today completely bankrupt & peoples attitude without even reading Nitz, his nihilistic reptilian vision has come true, He thought he could re-educat society to find happiness but it made him loss his mind & we see today the world slowly going down his ways (losing our minds) PS Nietzsche and the Nazis a great listen th-cam.com/video/3AOrX_9QODo/w-d-xo.html
Did reading his works strike a nerve somewhere, and embarrass you before yourself? Sugrue downgraded him in similar words to your own. Freddy was full of tricks.
Hicks is a gem.

Excellent interviewer with great questions for an esteemed guest. You held your own, mate. “Journalism” needs more like you and so good luck!
i am stoked to watch this
Anything that teaches with this medium is great with me.
Thank you for this awesome discourse!
Regardless of what nietzsche supposedly meant with his "philosophizing with a hammer," he definitely did smash a lot of things. 😄
This was great. Very insightful. 👍
It’s Stephen Hicks…no need to say anymore- guy’s brilliant. Thanks Ryan.
Please almighty god of the algorithm send me more content like this
Great to have a young Aussie philosopher channel. Nice work mate. Keep it up.
Cheers
Dr. Hicks knows a thing or two about a thing or two
Thanks, Ryan. So just don't ask about that third thing.

Very nice, like a spoon of rice.
Is Liberalism sustainable in times of ( economic) conflict 🤔
