>Of these three 'inward facts" which seem to guarantee causality, the first and most persuasive is that of the will as cause. The conception of a consciousness ("spirit") as a cause, and later also that of the ego as cause (the "subject"), are only afterbirths: first the causality of the will was firmly accepted as given, as
empirical. Meanwhile we have thought better of it. Today we no Ionger believe a word of all this. The 'inner world" is full of phantoms and will-o'-the-wisps: the will is one of them. The will no longer moves anything, hence does not explain anything either - it merely accompanies events; it can also be absent.

>Wherever responsibilities are sought, it is usually the instinct of wanting to judge and punish which is at work. Becoming has been deprived of its innocence when any being-such-and-such is traced back to will, to purposes, to acts of responsibility: the doctrine of the will has been invented essentially for the purpose of punishment, that is, because one wanted to impute guilt.

>German Idealism

Literally one long hissy-fit at the Anglo-French superiority of the Enlightenment.

OP here, I am glad this thread developed some useful discourse. I appreciate all responses.

What native books might you all recommend to read in German. (Not baby learning shit, just a usual book)

>Read this thread
>People still invoke Nietzsche in defence of their peaceful/liberal ideals
>People claim to have derived such interpretations from their 'correct' readings and/or expert-tier understanding
>These same people don't realize that pretty much all of Nietzsche's peaceful/liberal thoughts were written in his youth
>These same people don't realize he became more radical with age
>These same people don't realize that Nietzsche himself believed philosophy should be read chronologically - which is why he criticizes Schopenhauer's Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung, for example, having been written when Schopenhauer was a mere 26

Meanwhile in reality:

>"War essential. It is vain rhapsodizing and sentimentality to continue to expect much (even more, to expect a very great deal) from mankind, once it has learned not to wage war. nietzsche-friedrichFor the time being, we know of no other means to imbue exhausted peoples, as strongly and surely as every great war does, with that raw energy of the battleground, that deep impersonal hatred, that murderous coldbloodedness with a good conscience, that communal, organized ardor in destroying the enemy, that proud indifference to great losses, to one’s own existence and to that of one’s friends, that muted, earthquakelike convulsion of the soul."

>“Here one must think profoundly to the very basis and resist all sentimental weakness: life itself is essentially appropriation, injury, conquest of the strange and weak, suppression, severity, obtrusion of peculiar forms, incorporation and at the least, putting it mildest, exploitation.”

>“The beginnings of everything great on earth [are] soaked in blood thoroughly and for a long time.”

>“One must learn from war … one must learn to sacrifice many and to take one’s cause seriously enough not to spare men.”

>“I welcome all signs that a more virile, warlike age is about to begin, which will restore honor to courage above all. For this age shall prepare the way for one yet higher, and it shall gather the strength that this higher age will require one day—the age that will carry heroism into the search for knowledge and that will wage wars for the sake of ideas and their consequences.”
