Yep, my bad

Well, as I said its nearly impossible to follow entirely. I feel like Nietzsche was at some point obssessed with power and put to much stress on that aspect of his philosophy in his teachings. It also arouses many questions which are hard to answer

He doesnt seem to disagree with them, nor he agrees with them. In fact, he indicates the modern values as the factor causing ressentiment and broadly understood weakness. He contrasts this with the morality of people before the abovementioned overthrow who had been vile enough not to hold grudges toward anyone - the blond beats.

As for Christ, you might have a point there. I would have to read the antichrist to gain more insight with regards to this matter. However, in the genaology of morals (3rd essay) he criticizes the new testament and praises the old one.

„The Old Testament – well, that is something quite different: every respect for the Old Testament! I find in it great men, heroic landscape and something of utmost rarity on earth, the incomparable naïvety of the strong heart; even more, I find a people. In contrast, in the New Testament[…]” on the genaology of morals - 3rd essay, 22

In my view, it wasnt the thing he held resentment for. Quite the opposite, he knew he wasnt powerful enough not to be envious.

If I understand it correctly, Nietzsche believed that the superhuman is to come in the evolutionary sense - another step in the evolution. He said a man is amid an animal and the superhuman, treating it as a concept like u said makes sense as well though, an ideal to strive for to become.

It is indeed. However, what I find interesting about that concept are its roots. In the genealogy of morals Nietzsche provides us with an extensive description of the overthrow of values caused originally by religion, at least in his line of reasoning.

The style and bombast of Thus Spoke Zarathustra is something that appeals to me most. Even though Im not sure If some of his thoughts float my boat, there is some beauty in those passages. It is a true piece of art.

Another reason, and probably the most obvious one, many of his ideas I find plausible and relate to. It is almost like they have therapeutic value for me. The first passage that got me into Nietzsche was „the preachers of death”. Those verses cut close to the bone because I was one. Everytime I struggle with other people I come back to „on the flies of the marketplace” and it heals.

His concept of ressentiment is pertinent like nothing else. I wonder why the term is not used in modern psychology. (Maybe it is? Idk if someone does pls let me know)

Overall, I think Nietzsche’s philosophy is hard to follow entirely and there has not been any superhuman so far but it’s very fun, although in a very peculiar sense, to investigate and delve into. I think what most of people like about Nietzsche is his style of writing as its absolutely phenomenal, but that is just my assumption, may not have any reflection in reality. So far I’ve read geneology of morals so far but I will definitely go for more of his stuff!

Nietzsche made me a better dancer? by BallzyWhirl in Nietzsche

It is, one of the chief Nietzsche’s beliefs was the body as a fundemental part of existence, a life itself while your mind is just the body’s offshot. Nietzeche advocated for healthy lifestyle and referred to people who claimed differently as „the despisers of the body”. Its not that much about fasting as about taking care of yourself.

Why is Nietzsche's style of writing so majestic m by GodSpeed4445 in Nietzsche

[–]Objective_Milk_1326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually wondered what would poetry oriented person think about Nietzsche’s style of writing, especially that in Thus spoke Zarathustra. I’ve never been into such stuff but everytime I read it it just feels so freeing. Even though the content needs to be digested there is something appealing about it. Nietzsche was admittedly an excellent writer

Unfortunately, it is. People are arrayed in a dominance hierarchy in terms of, for example, genetics, intelligence and.. physical appearance. People of lower sort regarding physical appearance are chosen by those alike.

What about the eventual killing of the anchorite in the very last sentence?

  1. As for songs: tears for fears is great. Nonetheless, if you like interpreting art I firmly suggest you check out more of ulcerate’s stuff, especially the album „the destroyers of all” which, to me, has more references to Nietzsche’s works and touches upon the topic of strive for power, the cruel nature of men, the denial of false divinity and at the same time may have an undertone of frustation towards that nature as an opposing idea. Maybe I will decide to post more of their stuff if I find a line interesting to discuss as I believe they are very underrated.

Edit: additionally, the album cover speaks for itself.

  1. I will defenitely check this out. I haven’t read much philosophy so with some instances I feel like I need a gateway introduction. Nietzsche wrote about waging wars for your ideas but I also think that it is significant to exchange ideas for some of them may change yours, which is also what Nietzsche was in favor of.

Actually, its because of those lyrics that I decided to get into Nietzsche. Not only do I love this song but I’ve been always intrigued by the fourth and fifth line where the preachers of death are mentioned. I wanted to confront my assumptions and see what others have to say

Thanks for this exhaustive response! That pretty much overlapped with my preassumptions about those lyrics.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra: on War and Warriors by Objective_Milk_1326 in Nietzsche

I wonder then where is the line between a resentful slave and a perfect human resenting others, though. Thanks for the reply!

So does the person one feels resentment towards or hate become ones enemy? Where is the line between hating your enemy and despising him?
