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
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.
Such as using hourly wages to talk of overall wages. He counts on the relative ignorance of the public. It's understandable since those are the same tactics his opponents (like that idiot of a journalist on Channel 4) use.
The same kind of thing Hitchens used to do
When did he use hourly wages to talk of overall wages?
Besides, seems pretty relative to me too.
However, what I do like about JBP is his psychoanalytical take on Biblical myths
That's interesting
He was providing serious work when he wrote *Maps of the Mind* as a student, now he's just binge publishing "how to be better at life" books for easy cash
Just like you see low-end philosophers like Michel Onfray do
Or he's still providing serious work
like what
Just seems like speculation to me
*12 rules for life*?
🤔
Yes it got pretty good reviews
