Readers imagine a world where they sit in a garden at an iron table in the springtime with friends talking philosophically about the books they read.

I get what you're saying and agree with you. I misunderstood. Love you, fellow tripcode user.

Will a few of my disciples keep this thread bumped near the front page for the rest of the day? I would appreciate it.

And parroting again:
>His project was one of thought, and any revolution he refers to is by turns allegorical or internal. Hates egalitarianism? Yes, in the sense that he hates the vulgar tendencies of the generalizing masses: the 'egalitarianism' he hates is the one that places all men's thoughts equally, not the contemporary kind that involves equality of physical comfort or freedom of action.
This could still be a true but limited interpretation. It is difficult to believe Nietzsche was unconcerned about democratic politics. Why wouldn't he be? Am I really supposed to believe he was okay with political democracy taking over the planet? Obviously his contempt for "thought egalitarianism" could coexist with a contempt for in-the-physical world egalitarianism. The revolutions could be internal and external. Sometimes I get the impression that philosophers focus too much on Nietzsche's philosophical ideas like perspectivism and ignore his main real-world project. Nietzsche has never seemed philosophical to me in the traditional sense. From the beginning, he approached philosophy from a cultural-revitalizing outlook so it is not crazy to think he is using his philosophical ideas as a tool for another project outside of philosophy.

I will check these out. I am acquainted with some of Heidegger's late philosophy but haven't checked out his books on Nietzsche.
