A week ago I read a previous Nietzche thread discussing the idea of making people answer a quiz about N's ideas and philosophies before being allowed to talk and share with others his ideas. The reason for this was because so many people don't seem to correctly understand what he means by ideas like "The death of god" and whatnot.

There is an essay of his titled "On Truth and lying in a non-moral sense" which basically has him saying things like "Knowledge and truth are basically inventions that will only last for as long as humans exist." implying that objective truth is impossible because our cognition is but mere fabrication. if I recall correctly, this line of thinking comes from Immanuel Kant's categories. Its a tough and rather disturbing essay but I suggest giving it a read.

Adding to what you said, I now think that Nietzche is a bad philosopher in the sense that a lot of his words can easily be misinterpreted and taken too much out of context by people who don't correctly understand them.

That's not being a bad philosopher though. That's what happens when you write plainly enough and especially when you write aphoristically. All occasions of people taking his writing wrongly that I've seen are refuted somewhere else in his writing, so it's really just a matter of people not reading him and just going off of sound bites of his that they heard somewhere else. If anything, you could chalk it up to it being a result of him being too plain of a writer, and our society making his writing too accessible to read.

Trivial to who? The problem here is you're assuming that Nietzsche was writing for the layman such as yourself when he wrote about truth. Neither he nor any other philosopher wrote about the matter with common affairs in mind. It's a philosophical issue, meant to be discussed between philosophers. Later philosophers and scientists also disagree with you on it not being a profound statement, since things like quantum mechanics and chaos theory were developed in the 20th century which entertained the same notion of truth.

Finished TSZ the other day, it was the first book of his I've read. Super comfy at times but also had a few mindblowing moments. Sometimes I felt like Nietzsche was sort of losing me in the metaphors and stuff, but most of the time it always ended with something really punchy that stuck. Still sort of unsure what it exactly means to be the overman, but I've been thinking about it a lot. Something about finding your personal values and being yourself/pursuing your inner goals unapologetically, but it seemed like I missed something key there. I love how he describes different kinds of people, and how eerily familiar those caricatures felt to my personal experiences and observations. Sometimes Zarathustra acted strange in my opinion and his reactions to events were puzzling, sometimes hilarious like when he starts beating the guy with a stick after accidentally stepping on him lol. I was kinda already on the same page with him regarding religion, but goddamn he rips it to shreds. Sometimes the songs got a little repetitive, the latter half of part 3 was relatively hard to get through because of that.

My favorite bit: "Oh how foul the word 'virtue' sounds coming from their mouths, and when they say 'I am just' then it sounds always like 'I am just avenged'", felt like Nietzsche threw a brick at my head not only because I saw a bit of myself in it, but because I saw a lot of the modern political climate in it. Really enjoyed the book 10/10

Nietzsche's critique of objectivity probably stems from his epistemological skepticism, which itself probably stems from his reading of F.A. Lange. Lange wrote the book "The History of Materialism" and essentially argues that the sense-world is a product of our organization, our visible organs are (like other aspects of the phenomenal world) only pictures of an unknown object, and that the transcendent basis Lange ends up writing that "The senses give us, as Helmholtz says, effects of things, not faithful copies, let alone the things themselves. To these mere effects, however, belong also the senses themselves, together with the brain and the supposed molecular movements in it."

There is a book on the relation between Lange and Nietzsche. The introduction already states that "the skeptical analyses of truth and knowledge that lie at the heart of Nietzsche's reflections are especially indebted to both Kant and Lange." I would wager that Nietzsche's criticisms of objectivity and his epistemological skepticism are not merely trivialities dressed up in poetic language, but instead ideas that have some actual intellectual force behind them.

At the breadth of the questioning of philosophy, I have always had to guard against fantasy, knowing it well to be also the best boon of my creative awareness, whereby only good philosophical developments cone about from, yet must cipher through and and see what is idea and what abstracting away from it. Now I have tested utmost fantasy for the sake of sensitivity, and I have forgotten myself and am going mad without any madness.

I was thinking, how prescient certain events in my life have given me to understand Nietzsche's hindered physiological predisposition specifically as a child. The Greeks said that physiological health was completely related to hope, without health there was no hope. And one understands Nietzsche's lifelong obsession with and ideal to retain health, after in the unhealthy states in which he came out of. But the sickness is where most health is, the sick is healthy and the healthy are sick. In health, peaceful degeneration, in sickness ferocious animation, regeneration. I feel healthiness when sick,

Strength does not exist, it is a vapid concept. In weakness; there is sensitivity to all in life. Utmost relativism; cry I! I hate this impediment on my mind which I cannot ignore.

Occasionally I have the urge to fall into a dream while awake, to similar mystical or meditative experiences I have achieved in the past, my eyes roll behind my head, subconsciously breathing patterns arise and a meditation occurs. Also my perception is currently being altered by intently focusing on [in this case] the screen, and my vision feels like it is leaving my head and starting at the top of my eyes. The room also spins ferociously when in such concentrated states sometimes. But I always have total control over all this, and it is by no means as dramatic as portrayal would have you believe, but I must betray this accursed fantasy which I'm not sure even really exists in other than disconnected physical phenomena caused by mind.

But, returning.. can any of you tell me what strength is? No, you cannot.

In all this, there is a paradox which I'm sure has of itself a truth, unknown.

Garbage. Loved by Nietzsche's fans because of the paradoxical nature of the second part of the quote (hell is heaven). Man is not the cruelest animal, man is the least cruel animal. We are the only ones to have developed sympathy. Show me an animal other than man who has developed a legal-ethical system that makes killing and rape illegal. In fact. the quote is contrary to pretty much every encounter we have with other people.

Always the same thing from people who know absolutely nothing about quantum mechanics, trying to prop their pet-philosopher up on that decaying behemoth to make themselves seem more prestigious. Quantum Mechanics does not entertain the same idea of truth as Nietzsche. You are simply making this up. You might pull schrodingers cat out of your ass that you saw watching a pbs documentary at your grannys house, not realizing that that was an argument against quantum superposition. You might invoke relativity because relativity sounds similar to perspectivism to you, but relativity as Einstein understood it has absolutely nothing to do with perspectivism as Nietzsche understood it. Relativity has to do with how measuring is affected by a finite speed of light. Nietzschean perspectivism has to do with how there exists no objective truth, but only perspectives which are then forced on others through power. Please stop with this "x philosopher has been shown to agree with quantum mechanics". It is not only embarrassing for the philosopher, but also for you.

This is probably one of his worst ideas. Barely any fans of Nietzsche can understand even what the difference is in Nietzsche. They just take it as a version of "vigin vs chad" and move along. I seriously consider this is how most people on the board understand the idea. No. He defines slave morality as action out of hate and not love, and master morality as action out of love and not hate. The problem with this is there is no difference. Acting out of love and out of hate is the same thing. That I want a banana and that I don't not want a banana is the same thing. Maybe if Nietzsche stopped scorning logic and rationality he would be able to realize his concepts immediately fail when you apply the smallest bit of rationality to them. But of course he doesn't want to do this, because he wants to create a divide where he can put things he doesn't like and he can put things he likes. Like Wagner? His music is a beautiful expression of master morality of the powerful etc. etc.! Don't like Wagner? His music is plebian slave morality garbage entertainment for the masses and theatre is less than art!

Nietzschean perspectivism coupled with will to power comes very, very close to the notion of truth entertained in quantum mechanics. Read The Quantum Nietzsche if you need it explained for you. Nietzsche wrote a decent amount about the problem of time and space and some of his arguments predate those of the earliest quantum theorists. And you realize that Roger Boscovich was a substantial influence on Nietzsche, right? His ideas helped Nietzsche shape his concept of the will to power.

Will to power is an immensely complex idea that isn't just "dude there is no truth and life is about fucking and killing and nothing else." This is the normalfag reading of Nietzsche. Countless people in the 20th century were enamored by the idea for many different reasons. You also ignored my mentioning of chaos theory, which is another related subject and an important one.

But Ilya's model does not include power as the only value, whcih is essential to Nietzsche's theory! If that is not included, then there is no "will to power".

The book isn't perfect by any means, but it's still a helpful read if you aren't sure about the underlying similarities between Nietzsche and 20th century physics and mathematics. This is also a bit of an inaccurate take as to what the book is trying to do. The book condenses Nietzsche's views related to time and space into a compact reference and with that illustrates the connection between Nietzsche's ideas and the theories tested by scientists later on, because Nietzsche's work was heavily influenced by the sciences of his time and he theorized with them in mind, and because his ideas are very complex.

Will to power, amor fati, and perspectivism all have both a scientific (read: physical) and philosophical (read: metaphysical) existence for Nietzsche, because combined together these two seemingly separate realms are MERGED into a single, let's say "substance" (despite Nietzsche's rejection of substance). Except this "substance" is more like a force, and this force lays on top of nothing — it is all force throughout, with every instance of a "substance" being a result of force. Will to power is indeed a "dissipative system," then, if you grasp Nietzsche's meaning of it as force (influenced by Boscovich) and the world as nothing besides force, because force is not something which remains constant, and all being force means all is in flux. This notion of the world as force throughout and all ideas shaped by this dissipative system can be seen in nearly all of Nietzsche's observations, philosophical and political takes, and psychological assessments. That is what perspectivism is all about: a body is a "quantum of power" which perceives other quantums of power according to its own power, and through that interaction shapes its reality as part of its instinct for life (which is an instinct for more power, or a greater portion of this world-force), and all of this is part of this world-force which is a dissipative system which he calls the will to power (described rather vividly in Will to Power §1067).

He would "give a fuck," but only because those things represent the ever-growing herd mentality that looms in the background and threatens his existence (which is no less than the existence of life itself)

I get that Nietzsche is important and influential and all that, but the "nieztsche types" always feel like they never read anything else.
also /lit/ is just obsessed with the guy.
Is he just a popular entry point to philosophy or it's just ironicaly herd mentality?

There isn't really a Nietzsche type. It attracts a subset of nearly all types of thinkers, from post-modernists, to aesthetes, some socialists, some liberals, futurists, fascists, primitivists, etc.

100% correct, t. Nietzsche fan. I have no desire to read anything else. All other philosophies are a result of someone's need to fit in with society. And thus it's shit, nothing could be gained from any of it. It's not the truth, it was written to impress and is a merely a reflection of the biases and flavors of retardation that existed in the author's time, geographic location, and culture. Marxist critiques? Plato? Please. These people simply vomited their ego's need for validation onto a page. It wouldn't benefit me in any way; because I am not them, I don't exist in the myth-soup that they bathed in.
I bathe in my own filth. I can only understand myself and my society and then I can move forward. That's why I only read Nietzsche and reports from the federal reserve. Everything else has no bearing on my reality.

>"A word in the conservative's ear. - What people did not use to know, what people these days do know, can know -, a regressive development or turnaround in any way, shape, or form is absolutely impossible. This is something that we physiologists, at least, do know. But all priests and moralists have believed that it was possible, - they wanted to set humanity back - to cut humanity down - to an earlier level of virtue. Morality was always a Procrustean bed. Even politicians have imitated the preachers of virtue on this point: there are parties even today that dream about a world of crabs, where everything walks backwards. But no one is free to be a crab. It is no use: we have to go forwards, and I mean step by step further into decadence (-this is my definition of modern 'progress'...). You can inhibit this development and even dam up the degeneration through inhibition, gather it together, make it more violent and sudden: but that is all you can do. -"
