|
| Oct-29-06 | | Maatalkko: Nietsche should've stuck to philosophy, judging by his game. |
|
| Oct-29-06 | | suenteus po 147: <fgh> I don't get that kind of feeling from reading Nietzche at all. He thought we should be happy nihilists! |
|
| Oct-29-06 | | Maatalkko: <suenteus po 147> "Happy nihilist" is a contradiction to many people, especially Christians. I can't seem to manage it myself, for an extended period of time. |
|
| Oct-30-06 | | Karpova: <Maatalkko: Nietsche should've stuck to philosophy, judging by his game.> This is not Nietzsche but some other guy. The names are spelled differently and Nietzsche died in 1900 as <suenteus po 147> already pointed out. |

| | oao2102: The Nietzsche-Forster family moved to the United States some time in the 20th century. They changed their family name to remove the unnecessary "z". This is in all likelihood a distant relative of F.W. Nietzsche |

 | | perfidious: <Maatalkko: Nietsche should've stuck to philosophy, judging by his game.> He should also have borne in mind the aphorism that the threat is stronger than its execution and merely threatened to play chess. |

 | | Richard Taylor: Nietzsche didn't say that God is dead. This was said in his book 'Thus Spoke Zarathrustra' by Zarathrustra. He rarely states anythings such as "I am an atheist" which he may have been. His writing in say 'Beyond Good and Evil' are saying: "Are these ideas of polarities such as good and evil, black and white etc valid? His answer is no. The titles of his boks are deliberately provocative. He wants people to re-think old ideas. He sees that Europe has been greatly affected by Christian influence etc and argues for the good side of that but then cries out against the weakness of those who cannot accept or live in the real world (and he knows that knowing the 'real world' is problematic). Unlike Wagner, whose music overall he admired (at first, and he kept interest in it) he was not anti-Semitic as one can see in 'Jenseits von Gut und Bose' (with careful reading). Nietzsche sees piety and sentimentality and the use of Christianity at its worst as psychologically enslaving people. Also he exalts, partly, the Ancient Greeks, and art, and music and so on. He also is, it seems, often deliberately ambiguous. Showing various aspects of things. Wittgenstein read 'Beyond Good and Evil' not long before reaching the end of his Book: Logico-Tractatus Philosophicus. Wittgenstein was interested probably in N's aphoristic style. But neither were nihilists. They wanted to exalt life, not the misery of those enslaved by (the worst aspects) of religions. In a way he is understood only not only by carefully reading all his works but reading say Dostoevsky's 'The Brothers Karamazov' and by seeing the differences between him and Kant,Schopenhauer,Hegel, Foucault, Derrida -- as well as Rousseau, Hume, Locke etc. He is said to have taken a keen interest in the essays of Emerson. |
