Why do people misread him so often?

Because they don’t actually read what he wrote and instead read what others wrote of his ideas

>> No.15663493

Because he was very literary, not often very clear in what he said and contradicted himself a lot.

>> No.15663506

Because there is no coherent or consistent philosophy advanced in his work. All readings of him are equally correct/incorrect.

That's just people failing to read between lines.

Nietzsche was not a nihilist. The view comes from his early work. You have to read all of his stuff to understand how to overcome nihilism. People usually only read the introductory stuff because of it's presence in pop culture. You have to get deeper into it to understand properly.

Because a small cult of personality arose, and to a degree, it began to feed into his later work, and then ballooned in size.

How did Nietzsche become the only post-Greek philosopher to become a figure of pop culture (besides Marx)?

They read in translation instead of taking philosophy seriously and reading in its target language.

>Because his prose and aphorisms are ambiguous, like his philosophy and sexual orientation.

>Because the edgyness that meant to be chosen by Hitler as the model philosopher has made him quite famous among teens and young adults that are not familiar with philosophy in general and just jump on the Nietzsche bandwagon.

>Because it's easier to understand him if you've read Schopenhauer and Kant before, and such teens and young adults can't read shit, so they jump on to read TSZ missing a lot in the process.

>Becuase everyone wants to be a superior man, so most identify with him and think they become or are in their way to become one just by reading TSZ, idealizing Nietzsche as a superior man in the process.

Honestly it is because his writings are almost all too ambiguous. No one misreads Schopenhauer, he was clear in writing his ideas, Nietzsche essentially made his own Philosophy for Princes like Leibniz did it for princesses.

They don't misread him. They just don't read him. He's not difficult to grasp so long as you sit your ass down and read through his books patiently and thoroughly.
