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 *The Antichrist*, *Genealogy of Morality* and *Ecce Homo*

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.

Not surprised since its to help people

aswell as trying to sell tickets to lectures to help people.

He also twists words very skillfully and always returns onto semantic problems to evade issues. But I guess him being well-spoken can explain his popularity, just like all those other pseudo-intellectuals which attract TV spotlight nowadays

Words such as?

I dont watch tv. It's boring.
