Was he really that smart?

[Anonymous No.10757889]

I'm so smart. Why does no one around me appreciate that? I'm talented and all in all better than most people around me... I just want to be appreciated, you know?

[Anonymous No.10757897]

>>10757878
he was wise but that´s another story

[Anonymous No.10758015]

He was an overlooked and underappreciated writer who was rediscovered several decades after his time, precisely because he was so far ahead of his time.

>he was so far ahead of his time.
How so?
>>10757897
What do you mean?

[Chuang Tzu No.10758375]

Essentially yes. A lot of his work that's quoted is his special snowflake/edgy quotes where he holds contrary positions and says yeah it's edgy but that's the way it is. But there's always that tinge of genius to it. Mostly I'd say his genius is most noticeable and in it's purest form in Beyond Good and Evil where he attacks the foundations upon which the entirety of Western philosophy was derived. While his contemporaries were following these principles to other conclusions with different modes of thinking Nietzsche was completely discrediting the entirety of Western philosophy. Truly on original mind

But he did it more than a century ago and without nootropics, he was actually a casual opiates user afaik, the complete opposite of a nootropic!

[Anonymous No.10758459]

Short answer, "yes" with an "if." Long answer, "no" with a "but."

[Anonymous No.10758517]

i'm enamored by this guy. someone who's read his works extensively, let me ask you something: what is it about him? what did he possess from the horrors he endured in his upbringing that allowed him to write such glorious masterpieces of philo?

What comes after the Nietzschean phase?

[Anonymous No.10758720]

>>10758692
Probably deleuzian phase or just going back to the greeks and staying there for ever phase

[Anonymous No.10758743]

>>10758720
Didn't Nietzsche want us all to back to the greeks?

[Anonymous No.10758762]

>>10758743

[Anonymous No.10758765]

>>10758743

No. He was a clever university professor, that's all.
Most of his observations were inevitable given the circumstances.

[Anonymous No.10758826]

>I don't understand Gödel incompleteness theorem.
Given any finite set of axioms the dichotomy holds: There are things you can't prove from them; Your system has a paradox somewhere.
You can't prove any possible proposition from the axioms of first order logic. The same way you can't prove any proposition from any set of finite axioms. What this leaves to us is either: Have "Mathematics" be whatever up to now we think is worthy of the title or; A positivist but still arbitrary approach such as "Mathematics is rigorous stuff."

Yeah thats why we are making fun of Russell

[Anonymous No.10760470]

>>10758517
He was organically disenchanted with the common social path at a young age due to familial circumstances, experienced states of pain followed by elation thanks to his health, and started with the Greeks. He was the perfect man to philosophize and write what he did.

He was for philosophy what Black Metal is to music. Some don't understand it and try to besmirch it, same for Nietzsche. Anti-philosophy.

[Anonymous No.10761091]

>>10757878
He was a pretty smart guy, yeah.

Putting aside a glorification of his loneliness and a tenancy to typify people according to categories, Yes.
