I want to read Nietzsche because the concepts of the ubermensch & last man interest me, but i havent read any philosophy yet. Could anyone give a a route to take, for example, Socrates -> Plato -> etc. in order to read Nietzsche and fully understand his works? Ty

>> No.16092723

That may be counterproductive.
why don't you read Zarathustra and see if it clicks with you?
I also found his essay on nihilism useful for his influence in later philosophy.
but other wise >>16092304 is correct.

The Gay Science is a great book and doesn't require much history of philosophy background.
You don't need to read things in order to get everything. I would recommend reading greeks at some point just cuz they're good writers, but you don't Need them for Nietzsche

i also wouldn't recommend starting with zarathustra. imo, it's a nice cap to finish off a bunch of other Nietzsche reading. I don't know how someone would be able to make any sense out of it without having read a bunch of his other books first.

Thats the worst place to start most points and references will go over his head. Zarathustra should be the last book you read.

Before reading any book of Nietzsche you must understand Kant, and for understanding Kant you must know about thw "must be" and gnoseology.

It's funny beacuse Nietzsche throw shit all the time to Kant. lmao

Theres a /lit/ article that has a really in-depth guide to immersing yourself in philosophy. It's not 100% required to read everything recommended, but it's advisable if youre looking to understand not only a text you read, but it's philosophical context as well. https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1y8_RRaZW5X3xwztjZ4p0XeRplqebYwpmuNNpaN_TkgM/pub

There's a book called "The Portable Nietzsche" which contains a nice progression of selected writings arranged for the purpose of overviewing the development of his thought, once you do some work to contextualize him it would be good to start there.

Nietzsche writes a lot for specific contexts and that's a challenge for studying him. I got a lot out of him without having the full context, but I know I've missed a lot as well. I'd say some study of Plato and Heraclitus is essential, and understanding the history of western philosophy is probably pretty crucial too. Descartes, Hume, Kant. Look up whatever secondary material you want going over that, try to get a feel for the landscape of western philosophy prior to Nietzsche.

Schopenhauer was a significant influence on Nietzsche as you'll hear from a lot of people, but I haven't read Schopenhauer so I couldn't tell you what that does or doesn't do for understanding Nietzsche.

Seriously just read Homer and some essential Plato and Aristotle, read bits of the stoics and Kant and then read Nietzche. It may take a few months but it will be worth it, the Plato and Homer especially, you may find you’ll get more out of those than what you want to find in Nietzche.

The ubermensch is one who reintroduces the master morality to society without falling back into the actual pitfalls of the classic master-slave morality system. He is a man that quite literally transcends and goes beyond good and evil. To refer to the concept as simply Hedonistic is just garbage.

I've heard the Ernst Junger's essay On pain and other works by him are heavily influenced by Nietzsche. In a kind of "applied" perspective.

Nietzsche is not really a good place to start with philosophy, but if you're set on it then pic related is a pretty good guide. I would also add that some familiarity with the Greeks would be helpful, especially the Greek tragedies, since Nietzsche was a Greek scholar and he often makes reference to them.

Oh yeah and one more thing, don't turn your nose up at secondary literature. People on /lit/ don't like it but honestly it can be very useful and important especially if you're reading something prone to misinterpretation, and especially especially if you've never read any philosophy before. There's lots of good podcasts, YouTube content, and other books that can help you out.
