>More than a century after his death in 1900, Nietzsche remains a seminal figure in the history of European intellectual life. Celebrated as a liberator by some, maligned as a pernicious influence by others, he was the subject of controversy during his lifetime, pursuing a hedonistic individualism and espousing concepts such as the Superman and the Will to Power until he died after a decade of institutionalized insanity.

>In this groundbreaking biography, Joachim Köhler seeks for the first time to understand Nietzsche’s philosophy through a reconstruction of his inner life. In a revealing reinterpretation of his letters, diaries, and writings, Köhler shows that Nietzsche’s suppressed homosexuality, generating a hatred of Christianity and conventional morality, was a central influence on his work. Further, Köhler argues, his philosophical position was fundamentally compromised by the concealment of his forbidden sexual desire. Throughout his life, the unhappy genius was also plagued by horrible nightmares, stemming from his much-loved father’s death, which led to a profoundly disturbed conscience and an intense loathing of metaphysics.

>Seeking to disguise the truth of his innermost torments, Nietzsche contrived the persona of Zarathustra. The story of the great Persian philosopher, contends Köhler, reveals Nietzsche’s own suppression and dionysiac liberation, and presents the culmination of his secret yearnings in the new myth of the Superman who, in his naked beauty, resembled the gods of classical Greece.

Specifically to dab on you

German Jungs please help me pronounce Ich und speche. I cant fucking do it. is there a good video? speche is such a bitch.

>>17573518
Do you mean spReche? The ch sound is like a hissing S but with the tongue more flat and pressing on the sides, not the front of the palate.

>>17573518
Also the I in Ich is like the english ee but much shorter. Basically you make an ee sound but break it off halfway through.

>>17573518
It's in the throat even for Austrians who have a very soft version. It's more of k sound as you get up north but it's a guttural Ch that doesn't really happen in English. If you can't get the Prussian k, pretend you learnt in Austria.

>>17573534
ja, typo sorry. Ok that does kind of help. spresssssshha

>>17573518
like the Greeks pronounce χ

>>17573545
Better, but there's no a at the end. It's an eh sound

>>17573398
You only realized this now?

>>17572615
Does it mean more like “the happy science”?
