The more I read about Nietzsche the more I grow interested in his writings, and the more tempted I am to pick up one of his books.

Why shouldn't I?

>> No.11586238

Probably tired of him, he gets so much attention even from plebs

>> No.11586244

They don't, only the Catholic fags do. He is a genius and of the most incredible philosophers to have ever lived

/lit/ hates everyone who's popular, regardless if they're good or not, I say go for it.

Because its one of those things retarded people talk about without even reading

I'm not who you're responding to, but start with The Geneology of Morality -- then either Beyond Good and Evil or Human, All Too Human. Don't read Zarathustra until you've read everything else at least once.

Nietzche was a leftist that righties want to misread ( if they read him at all).

Nietzche is great, everyone knows this, even religious people who disagree with him acknowledge this. It is only butthurt trads who converted 6 months ago who lose their shit over him. Nietzsche threads are hated because his style allows for a lot of pleb entryism, and we have all had interactions with some midwit teen hyped up on Zarathustra. It gets old.

He was wildly inconsistent, in a way that makes his philosophy useless. Judging from his personal life, I'd guess that he was a dillitante bitch boy, like evola but without the ornate, flowery appeal of mysticism.

If you look at the political landscape of the early 20th century, Neetch would be an obvious leftist

Nietzsche's legit. Haven't met anyone who has studied philosophy that didn't look upon him with respect on some level.

I did have a professor say that an individual's interpretation of Nietzsche tends to reflect their personality, and that even his interpretation has changed a lot over the years for this reason. I think Nietzsche is just hard to simplify in any way that would make him a candidate for fair judgment in a general sense

>> No.11587742

>>11587161
One interpretation of Nietzsche’s body of work is that it is entirely focused on anti-communism.

Nietzsche’s greatest fear is the Death of God creating widespread socialism nihilism, and the masses would fill this void with communism, the ideology of Last Men, the greatest and last enemies of the ubermensch.

Just go ahead and read Thus Spoke Zarathustra. It's fun as shit to read and is probably not what you expect at all. Just download it right now and read the first little story.
