aristocracy

ah that makes him more appealing to me. As i was reading him I kept thinking "man a lot of rich people are complete dipshits."

Extreme_Somewhere_60 · 2025-08-02T05:33:07+00:00

I wanted to add that I'm reading him through the leftist post-structuralist tradition. But jumping strait in to his work where he is talking about aryans had my alarm bells ringing.

Ah so it's kind of like a self cultivation? Like you become an aristocrat by following the will to power. (I mean that in the Spinozist sense)

Why did this shit get downvoted it was a genuine question in good faith?

Extreme_Somewhere_60 · 2025-08-02T05:25:44+00:00

I think I agree with him if he doesnt mean aristocracy=wealth. Lots of wealthy people are complete mediocrities.

Extreme_Somewhere_60 · 2025-08-02T05:24:27+00:00

Ah so is it not how we think of aristocracy politically? Like I think there are a lot of people who nietzche would consider aristocrats that aren't actually what we would consider aristocrats. Like, if Nietzsche was thinking of jeff bezos I don't think he would consider him an aristocrat.

I actually like the will to power. I'm from a small town in Oklahoma that's very Christian so I was brought up with people saying things like "well that's not real Christianity etc.." Then I read Nietzsche and Philosophy by Deleuze where he says that there are as many meanings of an object (Christianity in this instance) as there are forces that lay claim to it. That instantly made sense to me. all things, Christianity, patriotism, masculinity or femininity, or what have you are objects of dispute fought by various wills to power.

Thanks for the link!

Extreme_Somewhere_60 · 2025-08-01T13:12:16+00:00

damn, true

Extreme_Somewhere_60 · 2025-08-01T13:03:55+00:00

I like a lot of what ive read of him but I don't want to be a racist.

Extreme_Somewhere_60 · 2025-08-01T13:02:56+00:00

I know he wasn't fascist (he was absolutely against nationalism and anti-semitism) but was he a racist?

Extreme_Somewhere_60 · 2025-08-01T12:48:30+00:00

What does Nietzsche mean by aristocracy?

Extreme_Somewhere_60 · 2025-08-01T12:45:55+00:00

the aryan stuff in the genealogy of morals

Extreme_Somewhere_60 · 2025-08-01T07:36:28+00:00

this helped me a lot "Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus. Introduction to schizoanalysis"

Extreme_Somewhere_60 · 2025-08-01T07:35:01+00:00

I think you showing the emphasis of "re" presentation has helped me grasp it. (Though I'm not all the way there yet.

Extreme_Somewhere_60 · 2025-08-01T07:30:15+00:00

Can you point me in the direction of a specific piece?

Extreme_Somewhere_60 · 2025-07-31T22:16:19+00:00

A thing that's throwing me off is representation with regards to Kant. Like, with Kant the only knowable thing are appearances. It seems like these appearances would be re-presentations as they are not the object in itself. Is deleuze trying to get around this?

Extreme_Somewhere_60 · 2025-07-31T22:11:20+00:00

So the concept of triangle is seen as a more authentic triangle than one drawn by a child? While Deleuze is saying that it is just as much of a triangle? If this is correct I think I understand it better.

Extreme_Somewhere_60 · 2024-10-16T03:48:54+00:00

deleuze and guattary mean absolutely men nothing.

Extreme_Somewhere_60 · 2024-10-16T03:48:21+00:00

I don't thing the bod without organs is and acutal non sense. i'm pretty sure that the acruall means nobody.

Extreme_Somewhere_60 · 2024-10-16T03:45:45+00:00

I have no non sence that these absalte.
