- Nietzsche believed that the central task of philosophy was to teach us to 'become who we are'. You can find out more about him and other great thinkers in our 'Great Thinkers' book.

“The challenge begins with how to pronounce his name. The first bit should sound like ‘Knee’, the second like ‘cher’: Knee - cher.
Friedrich Nietzsche was born in 1844 in a quiet village in the eastern part of Germany, where - for generations - his forefathers had been pastors. He did exceptionally well at school and university; and so excelled at ancient Greek (a very prestigious subject, at the time) that he was made a professor at the University of Basel when still only in his mid-twenties…”

Nietzsche, the original 'I was born in the wrong century' kid
Yep ancient Greek thats where he does belong. If he would see the modern moral he would be so sick of it
@@pewwwwooop
Interesting, I always thought he was born too early. Imagine what hell of a book his zarathustra would be if he knew everything we know today.(Especially in regards to possibilities of AI) :)
@@pewwwwooop Explain please
No you miss the point. He believed it was important to embrace his shitty century and correct it
@@corbinbarron8772 not his basicly all following nietzsche would basicly use throw up emoji too describe our current world
If he would just hear the word cancel culture hed get an heart attack
Fuck I really understand how he felt with that horse.
nietzche too rare to die too weird to live
I thought that but I think I misconstrued it...he felt sympathy for the man beating the horse by the sounds of things and that I'm afraid (in my book anyway) condemns Nietzsche. ..I would have had a breakdown about the poor horse but he had one about the guy beating the horse...maybe he was conflicted and felt guilty and that's what caused the break...but if I had seen that going down he'd have been a nervous wreck sans moustache (any sympathiser of beating animals deserves to getting the moustache ripped off their faces!).
Nah he felt sympathy for the horse,
Leekduck Did he? Oh then I understand his breakdown. .I have rescued lots of animals in my life and I cannot abide cruelty to humans or animals. ..I have all these groups to do with animal welfare on Facebook and I have reached a point where I can't go on as the Feed upsets me too much. ...I know what happens to animals and I just can't watch any more it makes me ill. I can sympathise with Nietzsche now as I would probably have a similar reaction if I couldn't stop it. Thanks for telling me that because it was bothering me whether or not I'd understood it or not.
He considered Dostoyevsky as a rival and was very critical of the latter's works, but ironically such a scene (beating an exhausted horse to death) appears in Dostoyevsky's novel "Crime and Punishment"; thus, if the story of Nietzche's break-down is true, here comes a humble suggestion what the words "Now, I understand" were reffered to.
_He had a normal childhood, got an education, married, had children and a fulfilling existence with lots of friends and a remarkable family for the rest of his life._
... was no historically influential person ever described.
Yeahhh man iam on the right path
Lmao tru
@@pewwwwooop lets fucking goooooo
That’s not true, maybe in philosophy’s case, but again people like pitagoras Plato and Marcus Aurelius exists. Also Christian philosophers such as saint augustine lived a fulfilling life
Prophet muhammad s.a.w.s is known as a man of great infulence, yet he lived a fullfilling life, but he definetly didn't have a normal childhood and education, so there's that.
Imagine how his mustache looks after drinking milk
I'm imagining. Looks like Nietzsche has a face full of wad.
dude wtf
Lol, I think that every time I see his picture.
White face
people ask him, "have you been eating nachos", he reply with, "no but I drank milk last week"
Nietzsche himself drank only water. And as a special treat, milk.
That line made me smile.
So cute
And as a reaaaally special treat: Grape Fanta
I was wondering that about myself. Because if he would not have drunk alcohol at some stage of his life, he would have never figured out that alcohol can numb our feelings or enhance your feelings. It all depends on the soul condition.
well becouse he obviously hadnt taste coca cola
Joaquin Casares Coca Cola was invented by a Swiss Chemist in little Bern in America and today some drink it like Water.
I feel bad for Nietzsche i wanna go back in time and give him a hug
SpookDogg i always wanted to be his friend and show him how to have a good fuck once in your life.
I met him on the Astral Plane, pretty chill guy.
Sure you did Mike.
I wish I could hug him too :)

"shit happens" - Friedrich Nietzsche
Haha. This is why i love him.

Nah - that's the Stoic philosophy. Zeno, Epictetus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius.

NIETZSCHE wrong, gone insane and killed himself.
Since when did forgiveness became not being able to have revenge. That's resentment.
To forgive is not to forget, but to learn and move on.

Everyone in this comment section: “everyone misunderstands Nietzsche”
Also everyone in this comment section: *misunderstands Nietzsche
LOL the quote about dancing and hearing the music is sending me into a void rn
It's true. That everyone misunderstands, like Nietzsche
Might I ask what Nietzsche's philosophy was actually like? Just need to know since almost everywhere I see conflicting views and research.
Is it not about being proud to be your own individuality and not fall to a collective group of any religion or political sorts?
@@pikalad6473 not exactly. He thought that morality was essentially made up as well as justice, and he wanted us to overcome the shackles that both society and religion have put us under, allowing us to decide for ourselves what morals we wanted to accept and decide for ourselves how to live/express our will to power
Well they ain’t wrong then ^^
Reading Nietzsche is like having a deep, meaningful conversation with a wise friend. His thoughts and ideas continue to resonate with me long after I finish his books
I've never read any of his works yet. Could you please advice me from where/which books to begin?

law of rhythm: the lower the groove, the higher the sinus. any man adept in the esoteric sciences understands this. what was nietzsche rambling about?
Nietzsche got me through High School. “The thought of suicide is a great consolation: by means of it one gets through many a dark night.” He also made me strive to be a better person. I love Nietzsche.
May you tell me of his help for you. I am in high school.
uhh how exactly did he make you "better"?
Oby D, Hello! Nietzsche helped me greatly. The most important thing, for me, was understanding and accepting that good and bad coexist simultaneously. Some actions are at the same time good and bad. Some times, not being good, does not imply being bad. I used to evaluate stuff acording to these two absolute oposites, and it was not doing me any good. The stuff he says about knowing your self is logical, but very difficult... being at peace with your self, and then making choices that are not subtly influenced by self denial or other unperceived "dark/hidden" impulses. Other thing that was good for me was accepting there is no afterlife. Make the best of this life, of the present, the present is eternal and our only certainty. Don´t make choices based on fear, experience this world and yourself to the fullest. Nietzsche tells us this, but in a way you understand there is a morality, based on the respect for your self and others. Nietzsche is, for me, very hard to read, I don´t apreciate the way he expresses his wonderful and liberating ideas. I investigated here on youtube lots of university classes on the subject. Best wishes for you, Oby D.
Totally! I mean, the thought that all your problems can be solved by one move is very consoling. But if you're gonna go, might as well do your best first. Right?
Yoou know what, you are a little jack in the box, a predictable surprise. A plebeian of eloquence is certain a rarity, but i bid you, turn your head away from the smear on the canvas before you, your little inscription reflected your mirrored views. Should plebes comprehend the pure patricians, the world would maintain order, which admittedly is impossible because plebes exist.This is a fallacy, A fallacy virtues operate an ethos of killing one self.
Calling Christians "the herd" is not that rude considering that is what they consider themselves to be. The lord is my shepherd.
+Kellen Hunter-La Voy And if they are his shepherd, why some (maybe most) of them is not following the shepherd? Maybe that one lost sheep are not only one, and the Shepherd is taking his time to find them one by one; or we should just believe Nietzsche that the Sheep just killed their shepherds and go on their own way.
+xxxaudiophilexxx I believe anyone should be allowed to believe anything and personally I think that statement is wrong as many theists just follow their religion thus being slaves of that religion whereas many atheists believe other things and don't confide themselves to one book
***** People like you are what i was talking about in my last comment, thank you for proving my point. Im in no way assosiated by birth or belief in any of abrahamic religions. Im just another atheiest brought up in an atheist household. My point was "for every stupid blind religious follower theres a similar herd of atheists and as an atheist im ashamed of it." , your proved yourself to be one of the latter. Lol
*****"The irony here is that you seem to make the same mistake found in popular theist opinion that atheism is an assertion, instead of a rejection."
Care to elaborate ?
***** My point is most atheists are no better than the extreme religious fanatics. Most atheists have a self belief that they are better than religious followers because they are "scientific thinkers" and thus better than believers who are 'stupid' for believing in god. The irony is that most of the science they follow are made by religious people.

What's sin feels so "natural" to you?
Human instincts or ego is to be controlled rather than sold out to. Thats why there are certain things you dont do. Otherwise you will be a self server. Centered around your own persuit of pleasure. That means that if reality hits you in the face. You will cower. The way he twisted some christian ideals. I dont think he was living in the real world.
@@lenny_1369 you know your stuff :) I dissagre with some Points tho. I think desiring wordly stuff is healthy as long as you are content with not having that and it doesnt against your principles. And submitting to opression or bullying is not good for anybody involved.
But yes. You need faith to reject god. But i dont think they realise it. They talk as if they know not believe. Even tho its impossible to know. And I think the wisdom behind how God designed it that way is quite beautiful.

Could you give an example? I'm quite curious
Did this video change your life or Nietzsche? If so it was his intention to show people how they are. How did it chage your life?

Ubermench sounds like a Uber driver who has clocked one million miles.
It's "Übermensch" which is pronounced differently than "Ubermensch" would be. "U" and "Ü" are completely different letters in the German language.
"Über" means "above" or "supreme" and "Mensch" means "human being". So a "Übermensch" would be a "supreme human being".
Why an American company calls itself "Über" or "Uber", I don't know.

I really wish they'd focus on stuff like this more in early education.
Yeah and what do you get? Religion ^^ i remember sitting in the religion lesson of the fifth grade and being like “wtf“... now I wrote about Nietzsche in my philosophy studies at university and feel... happy :D it's weird how people argue about this whole God is dead quote and the moral downfall... Religion gave the human metaphysical consolation, so he says, but if religious belief is not longer a thing, it shall be exchanged. So I'd interpret it still as a good thing here, but it seems to be seen like the disappear of Religion is a bad thing. Well you can interpret anything differently, there ain't a truth... guess i accidentaly went off topic ^^
Amon Raun kids learning religion don’t care, I’ve seen it first hand they just go with what their parents tell them their religion is and ignore everything else.
@@wilthewise2277 Definately, in both cases a religious opinion comes from authorities. That's pretty sad. Just recently I read about the lyrics of "TOOL - Prison Sex" which at first is about child abuse and later on the raped becomes the rapist. But if you take a deeper look, you realise that the words "my lamb and martyr" seem to be out of place. It's likely that the story is just a metaphor for parents passing their own beliefs on to their children. The singer's definately no big fan of organized religion as you can tell from different songs and this also makes sense considering his own family in which he grew up and disliked the dominant christianity ruling there. It's easy to underestimate the poisonous body religion has. I was shocked when I moved away from home which is located in protestantian dominance to a catholic area meeting people who grew up in catholic schools with catholic education. They have a different relation to religion at all. In the protestantian north people didn't care as much about religion as whole, being busy with their own lifes. In a catholic area it seems, as telling by my own empiric experience, the relation to their imaginary friend plays a bigger role. It was both suprising and annoying. However you wanna interpret this data it is definately a good example for how the passed on beliefs of authorities shape the next generation. Greetz buddy
In Greece, we do teach philosophy, of various philosophers, in highschool as a subject and in ancient greek through ancient text translation and analysis! It's very fun!
Can you imagine the sheer amount of surplus emos that would flood the schools?
It's sad how often Nietzsche is misinterpreted.
*Cough Fascism
In a way he did it to himself. His work contradicts itself and is very opened ended - making it easy for anyone from an anarchist to a fascist to come along and use his philosophy to support their ideology.

I love the idea behind owning up to envy. I used to hate on certain people with success "Oh they sold their soul. They are probably horrible people inside" on and on because I didn't admit I wanted what they had. Now, if someone is succeeding in something '"Good for them. I want that too!"
The fact that we have been sold this lie throughout our childhoods really holds us back. The truth is that many successful people are also perfectly good people.
The Coffee Nut I agree. It's very therapeutic and in my opinion makes you a better person
The Coffee Nut I believe striving for more in life is crucial, however envy that leads to a win at all costs mentality, when carried too commonly, leads to a break down in what makes society coherent
same! used to be uber jealous and mad when people at my age were doing better Even though they were always stupid but realized why should I hate them for that? where does that get me? I should strive for better things instead of worrying what other people make.
The Coffee Nut Confucius said to use people by example long before.
Honestly his belief on alcohol is eye opening and in a weird way helps

Does this quote mean finding your passion or way in life to make you feel better?

Why profound? I think it's great!!! Religion, I absolutely agree - complete crap, but alcohol. No, no !!!

@Samuel Black cheers, I'll drink to that bro
I never had a problem with alcohol, it was weed for me (used to be high from sun up to sun down). But what he said resonated with me because when you’re high all the time you begin to feel good with being bored, never changing your life for the better. Now that I stopped smoking I really can’t see myself going back. Not to say I won’t smoke again, anything in moderation is fine, but I will never let it control my life like how it did before.
I hope he at least acknowledged how important alcohol is to almost every culture on earth. The craft of brewing, use in ceremonies, use in social settings. Hell, is own country has a rich history with alcohol.

Nietzsche’s works don’t really focus on human compassion (and disdains it at times lmao) but the story of the horse makes me reconsider how he really felt about it. Maybe he was just against cruelty for those who are innocent
that story is likely not true
he behaved irrationally. it was an absurd meaningless act, caused by madness.
A couple years ago, my philosophy classes were a pain in the ass. Now, philosophy is the center of my life. I am proud of myself.
Honestly is there anybody on this planet who sees a photo of Mark Zuckerberg and feels envy?
Not at all, you really think his success was his own?. He was born into it. The CIA recruited him at a very early age and the NSA/DARPA donated a tremendous sum to his spy site into operation. When you realize our fates are sealed there is no point in wanting what you cant have.
+povang Seek help brother.
I wouldn't mind having the kind of money he has, but his face makes me want to vomit.
No, I would hate looking like him.
This is all disgusting. Where are you getting all this conspiracy crap about him and the CIA, povang?
Our fates might heavily depend on which family we are born into etc but if you have the ability to sit in your house comfortably and watch Philosophy videos you can become a successful person like Zuckerberg. It's just that your probably too lazy/not intelligent enough/not determined enough.
Also Deplorable Carl, why the fucking racism? He was born Jewish, but he is an atheist. That shouldn't make a goddamn difference though! He isn't a "fake person fake success" story. He is an intelligent kid who knew even more intelligent coders, he saw an opportunity and he took it - through lucky, ingenuity and his team he made Facebook. I don't envy him - but he is quite respectable and seems like a decent guy. I don't see why it would be stupid to not envy him, not everyone cares about being a Harvard Alumni or having a ton of money.
Friedrich was, is and will always be the best friend and teacher I have ever had. Glad I met him by accident when I was 11, through Zarathustra, and found out I was not alone.

@@tsetsegee1965 I understand that Nietzsche's writing is infinitely more intoxicating and sobering than this comment and likely anything you will ever produce.
A lot of people find comfort in justification of their misery rather than confrontation and overcoming them. Just because lust, envy, greed etc comes naturally to human doesn't mean we should indulge in them. They have destuctive tendencies and in this life, we muct overcome them. This life is a test and to pass it is to have faith in the almighty and overcome one's desires.
@@farazshaikh4967 to overcome ones desire is that your desire? Ponder that for a moment and then you will realize the impossible task that you have set for yourself.
@@farazshaikh4967 to overcome a desire is a desire. the desires express themselves in ways in which it would be nearly impossible to trace certain actions to a specific desire. Desire is simply a part of life and to banish desire is to cease to live.

I dont understand how he lived a sad life when his very philosophy was about becoming the superheros of our own lives. This example reminds of the saying "those that cannot do teach" is it possible he was unable to live up to his own ideas that he sought to teach others instead?
He writes in Zarathustra that he claims not to be the Übermensch, but only a messenger of his ways.
Massimiliano Tron but how can it be his way if he isn't being productive of what he is advocating.?
TeenageMillionaire His ways as in the Übermensch's ways, not Zarathustra's/Nietzsche's ways. Besides, the Übermensch is the next step in human evolution, so maybe we have to wait a little bit to see him rise.
With all that said, I agree on the fact that maybe Nietzsche didn't make a big effort to at least try to become the superhuman he advocated for (or in his own terms: "To metamorphose into a child").
+TeenageMillionaire The same thing occurred to me. I reason that he simply wasn't strong-willed to achieve the great expectations he had from himself. Perhaps that is why he suffered a mental-breakdown for being disappointed with the wide chasm between his ideals and existence. But surely he did pen down the true human nature and desires which in our truest being, all of us have. It's a different thing that only a few of us are willing to just do it.
Nietzsche specifically argues against the Darwinian interpretation of the Ubermensch. The Ubermensch is not a biological entity, but a person that embodies self-overcoming

How did it go? 🤞🤞
How was it?
His assertion about alcohol is quite sobering! When feeling uncertain, fearful, worried (basically any self-imposed limiting beliefs that make you believe you’re incapable), one of the easiest methods of alleviating those feelings is to drink. This fleeting, false moment that tells you everything is good. But come morning, you still have all of those worries and then some because you haven’t done the work that would create true happiness. I’ve been struggling with this for some time and this video was a much needed slap in the face lol
Sadly, he is still misunderstood by many.
Nothing matters, not even that.

"Culture should replace Scripture"
Man, do I like the sound of that!
The Nazis did that and look at what happened. That's very dangerous
+Football guy 1000 The Nazis twisted Nietzche's beliefs to suit their own purposes.
The nazi ideology was similar to scripture. They declared their own race to something religious. Like fundamental muslims that seperate people in beliver and disbeliver. In my opinion religion and also political ideology feed people with simple answers to complex questions. And they always block a process of own thoughts and self-fulfillment.
And who told you the national socalists twisted it? where you there at that time? the press twistet it! and who controlls the press and the media even before hitler? if you want to know who rules you... find out who you may not criticise : Voltaire

He seems to have very high expectations and standards for a meaningful life, I think. I can relate to this if this is true
You explained his work and his philosophy in 6 minutes better than my teacher did in more than 6 hours at school. Thank you good sir.
With "God is dead", he wasn't just talking about religion. He meant every value that was previously important, everything that mattered, culture included. He wanted to destroy everything and give it a clean slay. You should have mentioned it, he also didn't like any substitutes for God, that includes art, science etc.
Yet in the video art is mentioned, the part about culture and music.
You mean like the Lion which destroys all values so that the child then can create it's own, new ones?
Makes sense
I'm preparing for my philosophy-exam which I have next week. Nietzsche's philosophy isn't explained that well in my book, so this really helped me understand what his philosophy is about. Thanks!

its because his name sounds like nihilism and nihilism is kinda sad for most people i guess
Rand ripped off Nietzsche.
LeviathanSpeaks1469 thesis + antithesis, is common in philosophy
he is quite demotivativing
I love Nietzsche! He is so brilliant and I wish I could learn directly from him!
***** ....
NIETZSCHE wrong, gone insane and killed himself.
Since when did forgiveness became not being able to have revenge. That's resentment.
To forgive is not to forget, but to learn and move on.
I have every opportunity to take revenge at my lil bro for being selfish at me, but I forgived him, and taught him a lesson, instead of being selfish aswell. And what did that bring, progress and happiness.
To our dear Friedrich, we love you & miss you.
Okay so we all laughed at my English teacher for forcing us to be quiet and listen to this, however here I am older, mature and slightly more self conscious. And boy am I glad to be part of a generation that is still somewhat woke to the distractions of society. THANK YOU MR BARTON!
Of course Alcohol and Religion are evil, have you been to an Irish Wedding!?
Oh my gosh dude that's funny as hell lol
Am irish, laughed my ass off
I am not Irish, but I know that the Irish turn, alcohol, religion and love and death into a reason to dance, sing... and live.
fineartist all Irish are extremely passionate when they drink, that being said they can be passionately nice or passionately mean depending on who it is.
Irish eyes are smiling. Even when sporting a shiner, still smiling.
This is 1% of Nietzsche and not even the most important part of his philosophy.
I don't think that there is a single part that can be "the most important" in Nietzsche's philosophy. He spoke about Truth and "i am", the death of god, the dionisiac, religions, the eternal return, art ....And there are a lot of stuff that i dind't mention. His philosophy cannot be organized, it's not systematic. The part about the alchol was not so important.
Lorenzo Petrachi True, but this it's a six minute video, a mere introduction, thinking that you can understand or explain any philosophy with one video it's just silly
Obv! But in these circumstances talk about his opinion on alcol is not appropriate
Lorenzo Petrachi I like the way he used that to introduce the idea of "live dangerously", though I do agree it would be better to begin that section with something a little more directly relevant.
Lorenzo Petrachi lol I bet you like your booze
So great thoughts. Absolutely enlightening, eye-openers. Just what the people need. Adoring nietzsche more after this video. The words in the video are greatly written. Kudos and Thanks to the channel and team. 3:33 was entirely a new perspective. His thoughts are exciting.
You sir, are in fact... bloody brilliant in your execution. Bravo 👏
a good thing about philosophy is u cant have 1 single answer to a specific question
and those answers will lead to other questions and so on philosophy may never die.
WALID Amara I don't understand why people think this way of philosophy. Read actual books please
Alex Torres this thing I mentioned before about philosophy is true man
the programme of philosophy in our school is based on this
That's the reason why I both love it and hate it.
dannyboy12357 hhhhhhhhhhh
11 h's what does that mean?
philosophical question: if Nietzsche was ever stuck in a forest, would he use his mustache as tinder?
no, have you been in a forest? there are leaves , like, evrywhere.
***** that works too. Point being, most people dont immediately resort to tearing their hair out for tinder.
Reece Crump who said anything about tearing it out? it can easily be lit while on the face.
+Joseph be stallin' I love your profile pic. :)
***** Indeed, it does. That, along with his can-do username.
Im writting this fantasy series and wanted to interpret philosophical teachings into it. This video mindblown me to know how much more I can improve my characters
One of my favorite philosophers
Love love LOVE this channel!
Alain de Botton
I'm a big fan of On Love!
Chris
glassharmonica Do you really think that was the real Alain de Botton? :)
Oh, now I feel naive and foolish lol
I think that's a reference of the skyrim talos priest
This Nietzsche guys sounds a bit too up-beat and happy for my tastes.
Bullshit, nieztche basically invented nihilism
Nikolas Summers Oh no! I've fallen into a sar-chasm! Oh it's soooo fun down here! No don't get help! I'll be fine!
no not being sarcastic.
Nikolas Summers Mate... I'm liking ya frankly
***** I know right XD
Your editing is so fascinating and inspiring
Beautiful video, all of it. My favorite part though: "We must face up to our true desires, put up a heroic fight to honor them, and only then mourn failure with solemn dignity."
I met Nietzsche for the first time through one of my heroes: Atahualpa Yupanqui. The greatest name of Argentinian folklore who wrote 5000 verses, 9 books and 1200 songs. No stupid weepy love songs. All songs about the nature and people of Argentina and about the human condition. I have always wondered where he got the strength and inspiration from to be so creative and hard working. So while reading his autobiography I came across with this quote by Nietzsche:
"The greatest events - they are not our loudest but our stillest hours”
Yupanqui says he always lived by this quote. Very beautiful indeed.It calms you down everytime you read it.
Thanks a lot for the great lesson!
beautiful. Thank you. Your comments have made me smile from the time I was a self-hating 14 year old to now, when I am a heartbroken 18 year old.
@@abhay6445 Hello Abhay! Very nice to meet you! Notifications of youtube often don't work, so I am very happy that I got your message! It warmed my heart to hear that I was somehow able to make you smile when you were 14 :- ) By the way you must be one very smart and sensitive boy to have discovered this channel at such a young age! I am so sorry that your heart is broken..That person has surely missed the opportunity to know you better, which is a pity. But here is one consoling thought:
I know it is very hard, but try not to take it personally. Rejection feels awful, but there are deep psychological reasons for one person to reject another. We can never really entirely know those reasons. Neither that person can...
For example a very gentle and beautiful soul can reject a wonderful man and fall for a complete jerk for years. People don't always end up with folks they deserve. Our past conditioning can lead us to very dark places...
And also keep in mind that, for things that one person doesn't love you, another person will. My ex hated the fact that I spoke very fast. He said it made him nervous. But someone else told me that he loved the way I spoke because it was very energising...
If you want to know more about relationships I highly recommend you the podcast " Where should we begin", with Esther Perel. She is probably the best couple therapist on earth. Those are real therapy sessions with real couples!
That will teach you a lot and hopefully help you to find someone who deserves you.
Many greetings and much love!

i think my comment is getting deleted idk why?
@@joskxy Hello there Seema! Oh I am sorry that your comments are being deleted. It happened to me as well. It has something to do with youtube... Thank you so much for asking how I am.

@@joskxy Hello there. I will have to sleep now, but I will check it this weekend. Thanks!
Nietzshe was suffering from unidentified illness (maybe CADASIL, maybe syphilis) and he was medicating his headache with hashish, opium, potassium bromide and chloral hydrate. Notes on alcohol must be from he's early days.
But you didn't mention alcohol with his other treatments...
Nietzsche came up with the idea of the Ubermensche, but never claimed to be one.
Amazing presentation. I have always been huge fan of your videos.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 2 months ago about self development and now have more than 100 subs and almost 70 hour watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so much lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place
Amor fati, the idea that we should embrace (or at least accept) the situations of our lives, no matter how negative, and that this in no way exempts the attempt of positive change.
This is the best of Nietzche's ideas.
Aaron Yandell that’s stoicism
Wow i love how you guys break these ideas down so well, this is so straightforward and well animated! Nietzsche's ideas are so thought-provoking. watching these videos has made me realise that there are soooo many people who've struggled with and come up with solutions to conflicts related to the creation of meaning and seeking of happiness in ones life. That sounds like something obvious, of course everyone has these kinds of conflicts, but when you start to question the meaning of life, just in your head, without talking to anyone about it, it seems like it is a problem that isolates you from other people, a problem only you suffer from and makes it you feel alone. This channel has helped me realise that this is certainly not the case; many people have been through very similar struggles and have tried to provide themselves and others with guidance, and that is very well appreciated. As is the School of Life's efforts to bring these ideas to a wider audience. Thanks to all philosophers, the School of Life and, well, thanks to everyone; we will all eventually give something great to the world. In fact, I'm sure most people give multiple great things to the world, not just at one point, but throughout their entire lives :)
I love it. I even wanna learn more about it because it helps me with my own thoughts on life.
This is perfect for my thesis! Thank you!
rest in peace that great old bastard nieztche.
Sort of ironic Nietzche didn't manage to overcome himself.
Milixen The idea is to try your best.
+Milixen Compare your life to his, then tell me who didn't overcome what.
Fake Lake Also people around the world at that time were too stupid for him... (he was born too early)
Milixen because the ubermensch has to come
He did overcome himself - that's why he went insane. Too much to handle for one person.
I literally looked for this video to see how his name is pronounced. Thanks
These videos helped me a lot because I have a philosophy exam to cram for, thanks so much!
Update: got an A on my exam! :)
@@beck8429 yay good for you!! i have my exam tomorrow 😭 no sleep it is..
Shilan Aïcha good luck!!
Nietzsche on his way was a great person with a very open mind. His thougths were hard but are interesting and his philosophy now is more important than other time
his thoughts really came from a pure,genuine place.
+Echoes Yes. I really like his quote "You know nothing of human happiness- you comfortable people"
yes! we need more thinkers like him who aren't afraid to break down the illusion which is life.Not being nihilistic though.
Is envy really a good guidance? Human beings usually have no clue about what makes them truly happy.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envy
I like to think so, envy drives me to work my way up to the people i look up to and hopefully surpass them. I don't care about feeling happy or sad personally, they're just temporary chemical reactions that will go in time and I'll be dead in a relatively short amount of time so being happy isn't on my list of priorities. I want to make my mark on the world, not fade into the background like billions before me
This is true, but then to the same point, whether it's envy that guides us or anything else it's always going to be wrong because as you say, we really don't know what we want deep down.
I think it's something that becomes more clear as we move through life and try different things, ultimately clearing out those things that block the light, slowly getting closer.
I think that's what all these ideas are about, self actualisation and all that - I don't think you ever really get there, but at least you can try getting closer.
ENVY is defined as:
(noun) "a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions qualities or luck"
(verb) "the desire to have a quality possessions or other desirable attributes belonging to someone else..."
May just be me but envy has never driven me to be successful. The pursuit of "better" has...🤷🏾♀️
And then he would probably hate people that achive better because they find new levels of comfort, 😄.
Also... I don't know an alcoholic that's been happy and comfortable either... the 1800's must have been some kind of time man.
"Live dangerously"..
That line is a winner...it hurts to admit that he is right about people's denial of things ...we should never long for settlement for there is no such thing ...it's only constant flux of situations that gives life it's true beauty...
Ok. It's funny how the video started on how to pronounce his name. That's the very basic thing for me
R/imsmart
onii chan (UwU)
finally I got the pronounciation of Friedrich Nietzsche... thank you
Thank you for this video! Very helpful
Love your videos. Great job!
Wow , Somebody who is skilled in german pronounciation 😄
I hope this was irony since he pronounced it incorrectly.
it's not 'Cha', it's 'Che'

@@onlyheretowatchfailcompilation dadurch dass es man's eher als e-schwa ausspricht würd ich da nicht so genau sein. Passt schon wie ers ausgesprochen hat. v.a. wenn man bedenkt, dass deutsch ja nicht seine Muttersprache ist
Well the narrator is of swiss origin he speaks german and french fluently
onlyheretowatch failcompilations I am Dutch and I even got triggered by it haha, to mention it so specifically but to also not say it correctly 😂 why?
I really wish there were moore videos about Nietzsche .. he's such a great man with profound ideas
Thank you for making this
Great video, I was surprised his take on the lack of free will wasn't mentioned as this seems to underpin a great deal of his philosophy, especially in regards to how we should treat each other and consider our morals going forward as a civilisation.
Love Nietzsche. We should learn about his teaching and philosophy in school, in history or English.
