Nietzsche, what?! All great cultural epochs are epochs of political decline: that which is great in the cultural sense has been unpolitical, even anti-political [13].

This is primarily due to its polemic tonality and, consequently, its lack of consistency - but also due to the compression, one may even say dogmatization, of what was vivid in Nietzsche's earlier works. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote a number of enduring works, with Twilight of the Idols and The Anti-Christ being his last before he went insane. I would totally recommend this book, but I'd read it after reading a few of Nietzsche's bigger works; he specifically refers to some of his texts in the book as contextual reference "Beyond Good and Evil", "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", "Genealogy of Morals" , so definitely check them out first. Though he admits that hardness would at times unavoidably involve the destruction of the less hard, he insists that the point be the priority of affirmation - one does not become hard because one destroys, but quite the opposite.

  • Traces of Friedrich Nietzsche's Philosophy
    Traces of Friedrich Nietzsche’s Philosophy in Scandinavian Literature Crina LEON* Key-words: Scandinavian literature, Nietzschean philosophy, Georg Brandes, August Strindberg, Knut Hamsun 1. Introduction. The Role of the Danish Critic Georg Brandes The age of Friedrich Nietzsche in Scandinavia came after the age of Émile Zola, to whom Scandinavian writers such as Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg were indebted with a view to naturalistic ideas and attitudes. Friedrich Nietzsche appears to me the most interesting writer in German literature at the present time. Though little known even in his own country, he is a thinker of a high order, who fully deserves to be studied, discussed, contested and mastered (Brandes 1915: 1). This is what the Danish critic Georg Brandes asserted in his long Essay on Aristocratic Radicalism, which was published in August 1889 in the periodical Tilskueren from Copenhagen, and this is the moment when Nietzsche became to be known not only in Scandinavia but also in other European countries. The Essay on Aristocratic Radicalism was the first study of any length to be devoted, in the whole of Europe, to this man, whose name has since flown round the world and is at this moment one of the most famous among our contemporaries (Ibidem: 59), wrote Brandes ten years later. The term Aristocratic Radicalism had been previously used by the Danish critic in a letter he wrote to Nietzsche himself, from Copenhagen on 26 November 1887: …a new and original spirit breathes to me from your books […] I find much that harmonizes with my own ideas and sympathies, the depreciation of the ascetic ideals and the profound disgust with democratic mediocrity, your aristocratic radicalism […] In spite of your universality you are very German in your mode of thinking and writing (Ibidem: 63).

  • Nietzsche's Epistemic Perspectivism
    Chapter 2 Nietzsche’s Epistemic Perspectivism Steven D. Hales Abstract Nietzsche offers a positive epistemology, and those who interpret him as a skeptic or a mere pragmatist are mistaken. Instead he supports what he calls per- spectivism. This is a familiar take on Nietzsche, as perspectivism has been analyzed by many previous interpreters. The present paper presents a sketch of the textually best supported and logically most consistent treatment of perspectivism as a first- order epistemic theory. What’s original in the present paper is an argument that Nietzsche also offers a second-order methodological perspectivism aimed at enhancing understanding, an epistemic state distinct from knowledge. Just as Descartes considers and rejects radical skepticism while at the same time adopting methodological skepticism, one could consistently reject perspectivism as a theory of knowledge while accepting it as contributing to our understanding. It is argued that Nietzsche’s perspectivism is in fact two-tiered: knowledge is perspectival because truth itself is, and in addition there is a methodological perspectivism in which distinct ways of knowing are utilized to produce understanding. A review of the manner in which understanding is conceptualized in contemporary epistemol- ogy and philosophy of science serves to illuminate how Nietzsche was tackling these ideas. Keywords Nietzsche · Perspectivism · Understanding · Knowledge 2.1 Introduction In this paper I will argue that Nietzsche offers a positive epistemology, and that those who interpret him as a sceptic or a mere pragmatist are mistaken. Instead he supports what he calls perspectivism. So far this is not a new take on Nietzsche, as perspectivism has been analyzed by many previous interpreters.

  • FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE NON- FICTION TWILIGHT of the IDOLS UNABRIDGED and the ANTICHRIST Read by Barnaby Edwards
    FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE NON- FICTION TWILIGHT OF THE IDOLS UNABRIDGED and THE ANTICHRIST Read by Barnaby Edwards The last works completed before Nietzsche’s final years of insanity, Twilight of the Idols and The Antichrist contain some of his most passionate and polemical writing. Both display his profound understanding of human nature and continue themes developed in The Genealogy of Morals, as the philosopher lashes out at the deceptiveness of modern culture and morality. Twilight of the Idols attacks European society, Christianity and the works of Socrates and Plato, which he proclaims are life-denying as they prioritise reason over instinct and the after-world over the apparent world. The Antichrist explores the history, psychology and moral precepts of Christianity, forming his final assault on organised religion. Barnaby Edwards has recorded more than 60 audiobooks.

  • Pippi Longstocking As Friedrich Nietzsche's Overhuman1
    Confero | Vol. 4 | no. 1 | 2016 | pp. 97-135 | doi: 10.3384/confero.2001-4562.160111 Pippi Longstocking as Friedrich Nietzsche’s overhuman1 Michael Tholander n January 3, 1889, Friedrich Nietzsche walks out from his lodging at Piazza Carlo Alberto in Turin. Suddenly, he witnesses a coachman flogging his old and tired horse. He rushes forward and throws himself around the horse’s Oneck in an attempt to protect it. Then, after bursting into tears, he falls to the ground, unconscious, perhaps struck, for the first time, by the serious symptoms of advanced syphilis.2 This event concluded Nietzsche’s prolific career at the early age of 44. It would be followed by more than a decade of crippling physical and mental disorder, before he died his second, and definitive, death on August 25, 1900. Thus, despite having 1 This essay is a rewritten and extended English version of the one published in connection with the hundredth anniversary of the death of Nietzsche: Tholander, Michael (2000). Friedrich Nietzsche – och Pippi Långstrump. Tvärsnitt, 22(3), 2-17. 2 Other theories suggest that Nietzsche suffered from a series of strokes, from dementia or from brain cancer, or that he fell victim to a combination of these maladies. See, e.g., Butler, Paul (2011). A Stroke of Bad Luck: CADASIL and Friedrich Nietzsche’s “Dementia” or Madness. In P. McNamara (Ed.), Dementia: History and Incidence. Santa Barbara: Praeger. Michael Tholander declared the exacting precept “Die at the right time!”3 in his most well-known book, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche, quite ironically, died all too early, as well as all too late.

From being regarded to have had a main influence on the Nazis with his strongly opinionated views on humanity he has since the 1960s generally been considered “a certain sort of philosophical sceptic about truth, knowledge and meaning” (Leiter 2002, 291). When reading quotes like “’nothing is true, everything is permitted’” (Nietzsche 1998, 109) together with his repetitive reference to interpretation and perspective, one could perhaps see why. As ‘The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy’ indeed writes: [Nietzsche] bluntly rejects the idea, dominant in philosophy at least since Plato, that knowledge essentially involves a form of objectivity that penetrates behind all subjective appearances to reveal the way things really are, independently of any point of view whatsoever (Anderson, 2017). This quote is stated specifically about Nietzsche’s perspectivism, which argues that all knowing is perspectival—that just as in visual matters, we all know the world from our very limited personal perspective (Nietzsche 1998, 85).

  • Dancing Spirits: the Nietzschean Übermensch and the Chinese Sages
    138 Chapter 3: Dancing spirits: the Nietzschean Übermensch and the Chinese sages O life: … I dance after you, I follow wherever your traces linger. Where are you? Give me your hand! Or only one finger! … That is a dance up high and down low: I am the hunter; would you be my dog or my doe? … Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra The I Ching reveals to its reader eternal patterns of cosmic change that may assist those who wish to fulfil their innate potential for good. To accept and to follow the Decree of Heaven appears to be the core of the I Ching. The diversity of nature is represented in the I Ching by means of the hexagrams that provide clues to the reader of the appropriate action to be taken under various circumstances of this changing physical world. Constant change in nature seems evitable and serves as an inspiration to the authors of the I Ching. Confucius (1993:33) recognizes the terrible quality of change in all existence and is inspired by running water. Standing by a stream, the Master muses: ‘Things that go past are like this, aren’t they? For they do not set aside day or night.’ Chuang Tzu (1968:240) is also aware of the fragility and transience of human life, stating that ‘man’s life between heaven and earth is like the passing of a white colt glimpsed through a crack in the wall whoosh! and that’s the end.’ In Chapter 13 of the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu (1963:69), too, realizes the inevitable horror of bodily existence: ‘The reason I have great trouble is that I have a body.
