>The Jews are the strongest, purest, toughest race in Europe.

A lot of Nietzsche's philosophy is predicated on the FALSE assumption that the Christian religion is not the true religion, and that the Christian God does not exist. He prefigured the cringe atheists who now idolise him, who cover their ears and close their eyes and say, la la la, I'm not listening, God doesn't exist. Well, Nietzsche has gone to his eternal reward.

The Übermensch changes role, position, and ethmicity through eras and cultures. In the modern West, the Übermensch are the Jews. At various times it was the Hellens, the Latins, the North Italians, etc. But currently it is the Jews.
Admire and submit.

>What, if some day or night, some demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'this life as you live it, and as you have lived it, you will have to live it once more and innumerable times more ...'
>Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus?
>Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'you are a god, and I have never heard anything more divine'.

*ends philosophy*

NO! NO! WE MUST OVERCOME EVEN THE GREEKS!

>Islam is a thousand times right in despising Christianity: Islam presupposes men.
>Christianity has cheated us out of the harvest of ancient culture; later it cheated us again, out of the harvest of the culture of Islam. The wonderful world of the Moorish culture of Spain, really more closely related to us, more congenial to our senses and tastes than Rome and Greece, was trampled down (I do not say by what kind of feet). Why? Because it owed its origin to noble, to male instincts, because it said Yes to life even with the rare and refined luxuries of Moorish life.

ITT: Take great passages from philosophical or literary works and replace a word with "anime" in each occurrence of that word. I'll start."
>Anime is an issue that concerns very few people - it is a prerogative of the strong.
>What is good? Everything that heightens the feeling of anime in man, the will to anime, anime itself.
>The spiritualization of sensuality is called anime: it represents a great triumph over Christianity.
>Anime makes its appearance as the last plant among all the arts which grows on the soil of a particular culture - perhaps because it is the most inward and hence arrives last, in the fall, when the culture which belongs to it is fading...All true, all original anime, is a swan song.

>let it be lost the day in which one does not dance
> I can't believe in a God that does not dance

so, /lit/, do you like to dance or do you hate Nietszche?

>dude ubermensch lmao

How come nobody else can get on his level?

>the existence of the world is justified only as an aesthetic phenomenon.
what did nietzsche mean by this? this is from the birth of tragedy btw.

>I'm afraid to become happy, lest I lose my edge.

What did he mean by this?

>In the Works and Days, Hesiod describes himself as the heir of a farm bequeathed to him and his brother Perses. However, Perses apparently squandered his wealth and came back for what is owned by Hesiod. Perses went to law and bribed the lords to judge in his favour. The poem contains a sharp attack against unjust judges like those who decided in favour of Perses; they are depicted as pocketing bribes as they render their unfair verdicts. Hesiod seems to have thought that instead of giving him money or property which he will again spend in no time, it is better to teach him the virtues of work and to impart his wisdom which can be used to generate an income.
This was in 700 BC. Was there ever a time without slave morality and ressentiment?

Who were his earliest critics, preferably starting in his own time?

>muh Schopenhauer
>muh Kant
>muh Goethe
>muh Wagner

Can anyone else not stand German ""philosophy"" and ""literature"" because of this circlejerking?

Here is the redpill you need faggot
>Fuck all people

Him and Plato are the most colossal minds of philosophy

I want to read Nietzsche right now, would it be fine to jump in without precursory knowledge or would it be a waste of time?

What's the best translation of Thus Spoke Zarathustra? What version to get?

After reading all the Greeks, and all the presocratics, and the twists, Buddhists, upanishads, and a beginner's dabble into existential texts, I gotta say Geneoloy of Morals has a LOT going on in it. And very entertaining prose as well.

Bravo Nietzsche guy.

Wait, so guilt is something we invented and isnt good for us? There was a time when we didnt have guilt and even criminals facing charges had no concept of guilt?

Anyone who owns a dog has seen that thing experience guilt when he knows hes done something wrong. It's written on their face, they hide, etc. Monkeys do this too.

Guilt is a natural construct, not invented.

Quick! I have 2 hours until I cant get Amazon to send me a book on Nietzsche tomorrow.

What should I start with for Nietzsche if I dont want Thus Spake zarathustra?
