Anyone read Nietzsche?
I'm a big fan of his and am currently reading Beyond Good and Evil. Anyone ever read it and understand it that could help me out? Rational Squad Alerts |

I love Nietzsche... It is sad that he is usually mis-intepreted as a Nazi or some sort of heartless guy.
Anyways, I have read it a few times, if you have any issues with it. It is also online for free.
I'll retrieve the linkie.
I love Neitzsche, and he isnt a nazi though, he did however influence them. he wasnt heartless, but more along the lines of logical

Also, Here is another one of Nietzsche's classics

thank you for the links. zarathustra is my favorite there
well, more of the influence came from his sister, an anti-semite, who published editted copies of his manuscripts.
N. Spoke out against Anti-semitism though(esp. of his one time friend Wagner). He felt it was just jealousy. He was also against the idea of a Master Race. The Ubermensch is a successful personality, not a pedigree.
*at least as I understand it, his writing is very hard to digest*
; )
Mine too
what do you find most interesting in it?
I like when he talks to the ascetic.. It reminds me of my buddhist days.
Nietzsche was actually against anti-semitism, and that's one of the reasons he went against Wagner... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nietzsche_Contra_Wagner)
When Nietzsche talked about the Ubermensch (overman) he thought that any human, regardless of race, could become one... It was his sister, who married a well-known anti-semitist and altered Nietzsche's last manuscript to promote her own hateful propaganda...

I read this great book called "What Nietzsche Really Said" and it talks all about those myths surrounding him like Nazism and racism and the likes. I've read Thus Spoke Zarathustra and the Antichrist (which I wrote my junior research paper about) but I've read a lot of books about him.
ooh i see, well i guess i was wrong then :) thanks for clearing that up
Nietzsche was a good man with a scary beard. People can't seem to accept that.
I love his piece of work called "the antichrist"
That is classic.
I love how ballsy Nietszche was. I mean naming his book "the Antichrist", shit.
I also think its ironic how much he respected Christ... He just considered his followers and their morality to be herd thinking (which it is... they compare themselves to sheep).
I also like how he spoke of how an all-loving, all-powerful, and all-knowing god is impossible. his reasoning is amazing and a slap in the face to christians :)
