I Like Nietzsche
An appreciation for a thinker .....:)
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Assorted Thoughts and Wandering Shadowy Reflections
Modernity was born with this guy, he perfected the art of free thinking, an early book of his was Voltairian, Human, All Too Human. He kept progressing, never quite at peace.
I first read Nietzsche in 1995, and it was in an environment that demonized him, reading him was a form of rebellion.
Nietzsche for me is like a diamond, reflecting both what came before, and what came after, an example of before is Montaigne, and an after example is E.M. Cioran.
Some think he's just good for disgruntled teenagers, the truth about Nietzsche is he is thinker who was alive, his thoughts pulsate, no other philosopher is quite like him, which is why some object to him being called a philosopher in the first place.
I invite anyone who likes to, to share their thoughts, positive, negative doesn't matter, and thus enrich this page of Similar Worlds. :)
Thanks so far for your contributions to this page, i shall add here that i've not a scholarly knowledge of FWN, and i further see that scholarliness is something you can totally dispense with here. A fascinating thing is that he seems to matter both to those who admire and hate him, says something.
His message was aristrocratic, elitist, and individualistic. It was enlivened by humor and attitude, the world had some trouble adjusting, but i make it clear here he was misunderstood by those who shaped the horrors of WWII, he caught glimpses of it when he said such phrases as do not mistake me for who i'm not, and so forth, he was prophetical too.
Politics seems to overshadow his significance, i have very little affection for politics, and reading Nietzsche goes real fine and dandy with that predisposition.
Talk on peoples, and have fun, i might sleep soon though, please don't delete anything, i'd like to see what y'all had to say while snoring away. :)
