Neetzsche

Opinions on him?

Great mustache

Spookman was better

Why?

based af.

pretty cool guy, helps point out a lot of bullshit in most modern 'leftist' thinking.
influential on French stuff like Deleuze and Foucault. Holla Forums likes to say he was /theirguy/ but this is utter nonsense. He was not a German nationalist. He was pivotal in the European philosophical tradition (partly by standing mostly outside of it), a critic of his times and mores.
He wrote a lot about weakness and strength, and this must have been very influenced by his own life experience as a rather sickly and weak dude. His tricky concept is transvaluation, which I take to mean constructing new norms and values in a time where "God is dead"

Some people think he is right-wing, like Corey Robin who writes for Jacobin and sees Nietzsche as a reactionary figure in his book "The Reactionary Mind." I think this is BS because while Nietzsche had disdain for socialism, seeing it as an inheritor of Christian slave morality, he was largely writing from a position outside politics and the "herd" mentalities present there.

I don't recall Corey Robin explaining how Nietzsche had such a profound impact on leftist thinkers like Deleuze and Foucault if he was so reactionary.

there's your problem

Eh, I like both for different reasons.
I think Nietzsche ideas about how the will is formed by material circumstances is still interesting, even if I disagree with him much more than Stirner

Nice Phil 101 reading of Nietzsche

Read this OP.

I have a kind of love-hate relationship with Nietzche.

I can't take any lazy, blanket condemnation of Nietzsche seriously.

Stirner is great in context to Hegel/Feuerbach and politics, but Nietzsche's way more in depth critique of morality and his developments on power/perspectivism make for a way better read compared to Stirner's small musings.

Sad t b h

Interesting because most of what Nietzsche does are lazy, blanket condemnations of others.

He's shit.

The Ayn Rand of his day.

Shit incel who says you must get rid of other people's spooks so you can replace them with your own.

What?

He caught syphilis from a brothel

All incels either stick it out and become wizards or bitch out and hire a prostitute. Now we know which one Nietzsche was.

Exactly, he had to go to a brothel because he couldn't pull for shit.

I did not read the book but I strongly suspect that Georg Lukacs accuse Nietzsche of introducing irrationalism into social and philosophical thought.

And I can't take seriously anyone that accuse Nietzsche of that. He was mutch more an anti-logicians (anti-metaphysician) than an anti-rationnalism.

Nietzsche's blanket condemnations are a hyperbole or sort of irony to his iron fist of perspectivism and love of science as the basis for creation of values. Look at him theatrically sometimes, since he love's his style. Pretty much the only blanket condemnations he makes are rhetorical suppliments to his massive critique of nihilism and morality anyways.


The syphilis diagnosis is very incompatible with how long Nietzsche lived and kept sanity. Much more likely something inheritable from his sickly father.


Literally a grade a retard. Just read the fucking Stanford article on the guy, it's short and describes very well that Nietzsche took a scientific look to value creation, Genealogy is practically a work of psychology.

I mean, isn't that pretty much what communism is all about?

Abraham perverted Zoroaster's work!

Yogurt is delicious!

Never read any of his shit, but I do find it fascinating that all the genuine sociopaths I know are fans of his.

They're apes who misunderstand him terribly in a highly ironic way.

It's pretty funny, Nietzsche valued his friends and friendship very highly and enjoyed interacting with them as much as writing. He was also too autistic for Lou Salome to marry him.

top kek m8 APE

this. class struggle and solidarity are /ourspooks/

yeeee

A very conservative philosopher. Nothing to offer to the left.

Retarded.

Literally the same thing Stirner said if youd READ THE SECOND HALF OF HIS BOOK YOU SHITPOSTING QUEER
if we followed your version of Stirnwr then we wouldn't care for socialism now would we? Think before you speak brainlet

Wroooooongg retard

It's philosophy for beta cucks that want to be alpha.
