Which would explain his dislike of how Judeo-Christian faith weakened man
Christianity was for him proto-socialism, the heavily Judaistic revenge of the oppressed against the Aryan hierarchical cult of Hinduism
I see.
Would he be an existentialist?
In some ways, Nietzsche might have been the first to state the intuition of Sartre's existentialism, Bergson's processism (see N's appreciation of Heraclites as the only Greek who accepted movement and duration) and even Husserl's phenomenology
Without creating a real system around them
Maybe he viewed the rigor of clear explanation and the creation of a philosophical system as freezing and killing ideas, which is what he accused classical philosophy of doing
What Nietzsche have you read?
Nothing yet, most of what I know, I've heard from Jordan Peterson.
I only just got nearly all the works yesterday
Yikes
Hm?
If you wanna have a good laugh, read *Twilight of the Idols* and *The Wagner Case*. Nobody escapes his insulting pen there
And I'd say Bergson is a great read too, the philosopher of duration
I guess the big difference is that N sees process as decadence while B sees it as positive creation
I'm not looking for a laugh. But what should I start with. What order exactly?
start with *Twilight of the Idols* and *Beyond Good and Evil*, they're the most accessible
Okay
or check your editions, the forewords probably have good counsel on that
Understood.
then you can read *Zarathustra*, the hardest
Oh yeah Zarathrustra. Im going to like that book.
then you have the smaller works, which can be read aside (read *The Wagner Case* and the 2nd *Untimely Meditation* with *Twilight of the Idols* on the matter of artistic decadence)
I wouldn't really trust Peterson on explaining philosophers though, he either twists their words to fit his agenda (like with Nietzsche) or says complete nonsense (like with Foucault and Derrida)
He doesnt have an agenda
You're right
Perhaps its just his interpretation, or you havent understood his point.
His only agenda is the way to the bank
No, his only agenda is to help people.
He's not doing this for the money, that much is clear
Yikes...
Hm?
I used to think so too
Until?
Is thay why he's now insisting on donations?
He doesnt insist on donations.
Check his Twitter account
He's a con man
Laughing all the way to the cheques his followers give him
He's not asking for donations, he's advertising his book.
