I… I do, but the fact that you prefaced the discussion by calling me a girl is giving me doubts. I’m gonna go in ahead though. What Nietzsche a nihilist? Why did he want to kill God?

>What Nietzsche a nihilist?
No
>Why did he want to kill God?
He didn't. Come back when you've actually read him and haven't just watched a youtube video or two.

He's so refreshing to read. At times it's like having your hair blown back by a strong gale.

I fantasize about brutally torturing the epic rap battles of history guys to death every time I see anything relating to their shit

for the fags who don't really know
>God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?

I don’t understand. If you don’t believe in god, then how could god die? What is the evidence that god is dead? Philosophers don’t make any sense. Western civilization is doing well, if god exists I think he was reborn the moment Niethche contracted an STD.

That's allegorical. What N was trying to say is, "Science Killed Religion".

Nietzsche was against nihilism, which he saw as a dangerous response to living in a world without God. He didn't want to kill God, he saw that God had already died. He puts forth the Superman as a new higher purpose for humanity, which I read in an evolutionary sense; humanity is a "bridge" to something above itself.

You mean literal Transhumanism? Because other interpretations of the Overman concept is that of "creator of new values"

>in a draft of the preface to the second part of Human, All Too Human, Nietzsche described his relationship with Wagner as "my only love-affair," before striking the phrase from his proofs.

>The erotic relation of men to youths was the necessary and sole preparation, to a degree unattainable to our comprehension, of all manly education (pretty much as for a long time all higher education of women was only attainable through love and marriage). All idealism of the strength of the Greek nature threw itself into that relation, and it is probable that never since have young men been treated so attentively, so lovingly, so entirely with a view to their welfare (virtus) as in the fifth and sixth centuries B.C.
—Friedrich Nietzche, Human, All Too Human

>What does our chatter about the Greeks amount to! What do we understand of their art, the soul of which is passion for naked male beauty!
—Friedrich Nietzsche, Daybreak, Aphorism 170

>Even the boldest remained still before Holbein's self-portrait in the hall of drawings! And I now struggled futilely in Nietzsche's presence to define the magical attraction of that wonderful portrait. It did not help that I so-to-speak traced line after line of that face. This approach was powerless to describe the expression of fully developed manhood combined with the charm of fresh youth (Holbein's self-portrait, as is known, presents him without a beard). And I failed to capture even the individual traits in their full value. I faltered when I came to the mouth. I could see the lips before me. So fully rounded yet so energetically closed! Not avid, yet as if created for pleasure!
>"A mouth . . .," I stammered bewilderedly.
>"A mouth to kiss!"
>Disconcertedly I looked aside. Truly, it was Nietzsche who had spoken, in an attitude and a tone which seemed to contrast most strangely with the mildly sensual coloration of his words. For leaning far back in his armchair, his head bowed onto his chest and his arms hanging limply on the armrests, he seemed to have spoken out of a dream rather than as a comment on my report.
—Ludwig von Scheffler's recollection of Nietzsche

i think its more that we, as humanity, do not live for a God- Not to say that he does not exist. We forge ourselves and our world around us.

>>19488233
Transhumanism is more like augmentation, isn't it? I don't think that has anything to do with Nietzsche.

>>19488247
Are you going to post that in every Nietzsche thread?

>>19489375
Yes, as a reminder that Nietzsche was a giant fucking faggot and that Nietzsheans will always suck cock and/or beat off to gay porn.

>>19487686
>Science
More specifically, the will to power killed it, that process by which everything evolves. Science was one of the tools used to do the deed. Since the Middle Ages there was a yearning for the individual, which finally found expression during the Renaissance, and once cultivated, God as a concept stopped being relevant.

easy on ressentiment

The quotes by Nietzsche bear no relation to Scheffler's projection

Why did he grow his mustache like that? It makes eating much more difficult.

Watched these two videos yesterday. Do you all think N got mad or achieved the divine mania? I am currently reading his works. Just finished Twilight of The Idols and will read Beyond Good and Evil tomorrow. After reading his Zarathustra i couldn't fathom how could a man like that simply go mad.

What does "will to power" actually mean?

Read Nietzsche and find out

>>19487606
“We’ve lost a transcendent universal grounding for meaning in our lives. Rationalism overtook Religion, God became untenable.” I think people frequently assume Nietzsche’s observational statements are really dogma he puts forward. He didn’t kill God, he merely found the body which had long been rotting in the public square and finally had the courage to write its obituary. Many people had passed by the corpse before him, but some didn’t want to admit it was really there.

unironically the "judao bolshevik" interpretation of Nietzsche is more accurate than the nazis interpretation.
