His reevaluation of all values toward the revitalization of humanity is ironically a higher-level morality and idealism. This becomes especially explicit when you take a look at the naturalist readings; really, how is “strength” and “health” and “strong wills” conceptually different from “good” and “evil” beyond their historical context? P sure this is why even in his last notes N was still trying to overcome the problem of nihilism, which immediately sees through this language and says “Fuck it.”

The shoe fits. That quote is retarded, for two reasons:

1. It doesn't seem to understand anything about Nietzsche's amor fati, or acknowledge anything he wrote about fate.

2. It applied a non-Nietzschean concept, the "alpha wolf," to Nietzsche, and doesn't acknowledge what he wrote about masters, who are masters regardless of their position in society, and who are not necessarily leading it.

Overall, it seems aimed at some other philosophy, not Nietzsche's.

George Grant in Technology and Justice, as well as Wyndham Lewis in The Art of Being Ruled have decent critiques of him (Grant as a hater of Nietzsche, Lewis as a quasi-acolyte)

Nietzsche is tough to critique on account of his perspectivism, and the majority of (invalid) critiques usually attempt to undercut him by pigeonholing him into some form of objective grounding, attacking him personally or pointing out the consequences of one form of his thought (C.S. Lewis is egregious in this regard)

Nietzsche is only effectively refuted to the extent that you can demonstrate aspects of his thought to be internally contradictory, and I would say that Lewis and Grant get close to that end (despite, at points, wavering into the mentioned fallacies)

The quote is literally wrong about him.

>And more simply, power does not always win either.
This makes no sense in relation to Nietzsche. Will to power is not something that wins or loses, it is throughout, a constant. Both the master and slave moralist express the will to power. The Christian expresses his will to power when he kneels with his hands folded in prayer. The altruist expresses his will to power when he "unconditionally" gives. The key to understanding this is in his perspectivism.

>Where fate intervenes one can be certain that something greater than power has taken hold - as in the strong character up against forces greater than this world.
Fate is an interpretation. It's subject to a perspective like all other concepts. It's an expression of the will to power. His "formula for greatness" was amor fati, or love of one's fate — or, the feeling of oneself as fate.

>The alpha wolf can be overcome by a larger group, and the deformed deer may be the only survivor of a forest fire.
Nietzsche literally writes himself that great individuals are constantly under threat by the herd. The "alpha wolf" is not what he means by great individuals; he meant something closer to Schopenhauer's genius. But all the same, he wrote about how greatness =/= survival. The great often don't survive.

>Darwinist nature is merely a myth of technicians.
Nietzsche rejected Darwinist nature. From Twilight of the Idols:

"Species do not grow more perfect: the weaker dominate the strong, again and again— the reason being that they are the great majority, and they are also cleverer. Darwin forgot the mind (—that is English!): the weak possess more mind. … To acquire mind, one must need mind—one loses it when one no longer needs it."

tl;dr please actually read some books before posting on the literature board.

Came here to say this. The question is much too broad and fragmented, so we can assume OP wanted instructions on how to discuss him.

I posted that. I am generally hesitant to participate in these threads because any sort of thoughtful post tends to get buried, and Nietzsche threads are notoriously bad. I think the severe division is a good sign in writing, it is like two sides responding to a mortal wound. Most interesting in the Nietzschean responses is the complete inability to see his own methods used against him.

A rough outline of my arguments can be found here:
>>/lit/thread/S15886638#p15891964

One has to be careful with such things however. 'Refutation' is an entirely wrong way to go about philosophy, especially when dealing with any high-level figures. Even critique is something of a catastrophe of thought, and when you engage with other thinkers it is best to have the intent of carrying on a thread, even with an enemy you must give them their due. Nietzsche's status however suggests the necessity of a severe critique, especially when much better thinkers are buried and forgotten because of that status.

Nietzsche is, of course, notoriously difficult to engage with. For one, he contradicts himself to the extreme, which is why any argument is simply met with quote spamming, and why any political position can lay claim to his ideas. He has moments where he is brilliant, appearing equal to the greats, and then in the next line he comes across as an idiot. But rather than dismissing this outright one should understand Nietzsche as something like a political advisor in times of crisis: a useful member of the court if the ruler himself is a discerning thinker. One has to be able to sort through the brilliance and the incredible power for mistakes.

Holderlin's "Of Truth" is revealing here. Nietzsche may be understood as one who is willing to be manipulated and fooled by the first instincts to truth. There is strength in this because in certain moments one must give himself over to fate, or the immediate necessity of decision - any plan is better than no plan - but this is where the instincts may become completely separated from spirit. The will may be set entirely against fate. For the Greeks there was an understanding that one who surpasses the law of drink, a certain number of vessels, is no longer one with the festival and is to be rightly abandoned by Dionysus. The drinker must master his alcohol to elevate it into something greater, beyond madness and even fate. At the same time this was something of a tentative law. Nietzsche was not one for such subtlety, and his incapacity for the decisions of a great drinker suggests his enslavement to the will, one which could set itself against fate or the dionysian.

The question of fate is a very difficult one. The understanding of fate obviously changes, but this does not suggest that the nietzschean view is correct, Fate is certainly not 'the sum of wills' nor any iron decisiveness that one will succeed. Nietzsche's view is something of an impoverished version of the Machiavellian understanding, and paradoxically a Christianisation of it (along with his concept of tragedy). To explain fate in terms of myth and history would be impossible here, but to get a sense of it one may look to Diomedes. After his battle with the gods he says quite plainly to Glaucus, "I'm not the man to fight the gods of heaven... I have no desire to fight the blithe immortals." The deep humility of the fate of the hero. Nietzsche, who was completely lacking in heroic achievements was of a completely opposite character. He elevated himself to the level of gods, a deep hubris. This is to set the will against fate, to mark it as an enemy, perhaps the greatest law of the modern era and the last men. Completely oblivious to the laws of the gods, if not themselves.

this, also, what is there even to refute? Is Nietzsche now a real philosopher? Because as far as I can tell he was a second rate philologist that wrote some menial prose for teenage boys, and what counts as his "philosophy" is essentialy his admission of homossexuality. All this talk of overman was essentialy him, the bitter queerboy moaning about the fact that his object of admiration - Wagner - would have nothing to do with him.

Read him again because you obviously weren't doing it right the first time, then. You can't ask for the "refutation" of a person - you can ask for refutation of this or that specific idea that he came up with. If you want a holistic critique of his entire body of thought, you will have to specify the perspective and parameters of the critique. I have read and agreed with critiques of Nietzsche's naturalism, as well as the incoherence of the concepts of the Overman and the new morality. The validity of these critiques does not "refute" Nietzsche, because he's the most major, influential and powerful critic of nihilism and his tremendous legacy is impossible to dismiss - unless you refuse to read, of course.

You also need to learn to read. Nietzche was the first person to seriously acknowledge, tackle and attempt to solve the crisis of nihilism. His solutions may have been completely worthless, but his analytical work, despite its flaws, was a major step forward for humanity. Nevertheless, it is still very difficult to critique it without first making a precise definition of what exactly is to be critiqued.

want me to prove his antisemitism?

"Formerly he had only his own people, his “chosen” people. But since then he has gone wandering, like his people themselves, into foreign parts; he has given up settling down quietly anywhere; finally he has come to feel at home everywhere, and is the great cosmopolitan—until now he has the “great majority” on his side, and half the earth. But this god of the “great majority,” this democrat among gods, has not become a proud heathen god: on the contrary, he remains a Jew, he remains a god in a corner, a god of all the dark nooks and crevices, of all the noisesome quarters of the world!... His earthly kingdom, now as always, is a kingdom of the underworld, a souterrain kingdom, a ghetto kingdom.... And he himself is so pale, so weak, so décadent.... Even the palest of the pale are able to master him—messieurs the metaphysicians, those albinos of the intellect. They spun their webs around him for so long that finally he was hypnotized, and began to spin himself, and became another metaphysician. Thereafter he resumed once more his old busi ness of spinning the world out of his inmost being sub specie Spinozae; thereafter he became ever thinner and paler—became the “ideal,” became “pure spirit,” became “the absolute,” became “the thing-in-itself.”... The collapse of a god: he became a “thing-in-itself.”"

Fate is a matter of interpretation. Master and slave morality can be viewed as opposite polarities on a spectrum regarding one's feeling of control towards fate. The master feels in control of fate, while the slave feels controlled by fate. Master morality is an expression of strength, while slave morality is an expression of weakness. Both are an expression of will to power, i.e., in both circumstances, fate is being created by a perspective.

"The Jews are the most remarkable people in the history of the world, for when they were confronted with the question, to be or not to be, they chose, with perfectly unearthly deliberation, to be at any price: this price involved a radical falsification of all nature, of all naturalness, of all reality, of the whole inner world, as well as of the outer. They put themselves against all those conditions under which, hitherto, a people had been able to live, or had even been permitted to live; out of themselves they evolved an idea which stood in direct opposition to natural conditions—one by one they distorted religion, civilization, morality, history and psychology until each became a contradiction of its natural significance. We meet with the same phenomenon later on, in an incalculably exaggerated form, but only as a copy: the Christian church, put beside the “people of God,” shows a complete lack of any claim to originality. Precisely for this reason the Jews are the most fateful people in the history of the world: their influence has so falsified the reasoning of mankind in this matter that today the Christian can cherish anti-Semitism without realizing that it is no more than the final consequence of Judaism."

Zero brain activity. Here's the thing anon - it's not that Nietzsche's ideas are sacred, incontrovertible, perfect and the complete truth. On the contrary, they are very vulnerable and open to all kinds of criticism. Your problem is that you're incapable of understanding his ideas at all, so you naturally conclude that - assuming Nietzsche is wrong - he must be wrong about everything. The notion that his thought has had a colossal impact on world history because at least some of it may be necessarily correct seems to elude you entirely, hence you ask for a refutation of a person, rather than this or that of his ideas - which would be a perfectly possible thing to do. Worse - you have not even outlined what type of criticism actually interests you, which means that you're probably a 105 IQ drone, doomed to eternally repeat pop-sci and pop-phil talking points dependent on the "right/wrong" binary for as long as you live. A dreadful, unenviable fate.

Hm. Two things. Are we to assume that Nietzsche, in these bouts of contradiction, is to be interpreted as high irony? Contradiction done correctly is just another rendition of beauty, shaped obliquely to resonate as a compounding iteration. On contradiction, Emerson (in either Nature or Circles, or perhaps Gifts, I don't remember) claimed, with the utmost conviction - I might add - that one should say one thing and contradict himself the next day because the consequences are marginal and the recourse is nonexistent. Blake was an ungodly offender of the transgression of contradictions, and his brilliance is unequivocal. Though, perhaps through all of these evocations of memory, I have directed this freight train off the bridge and into the murky waters below.

The second thing, (and I know it was in conjunction with an elaboration) of the Greeks, one of Socrates' greatest attributes was his "inability" to get drunk. I have always assumed this was because he neglected to drink genuinely and heartedly, not allowing himself to fall victim to the demons that result from such merriment. A ruse, or some clever Socratic trick of perception. Though, looking at it from your lense of the control of disposition makes much more sense. Thanks, anon!

This is a case of being a bad reader. You couldn't even understand a basic metaphor and insisted that it must be a direct and simple misunderstanding of Nietzsche. Read Aristotle and Plato.

As I wrote above, it's nearly impossible to discuss something like fate in extremely short form, especially when it involves others who aren't read on the subject. Hence the suggestion that it is a simple, passing comment.

That said, it is a very significant argument against Nietzsche's understanding of power and fate. His lack of sympathy for the fated suggests a deep contradiction and inability to reconcile with questions which were quite basic in the ancient world. And his fall to 'fate', really the failure of his own will, shows the incredible power held by fate: it rarely ever needs to act, it is the cold and indifferent passing on of the thread allotted and cut by three goddesses. Your love or hate of it is entirely the wrong response, a concern of bourgeois humanists, or the simply hubristic. For Machiavelli the response was dualistic, one must defend against it but also act towards it as a young man winning a woman. Obviously Nietzsche wasn't very well versed in such things, hence his blind and foolish response.

The other difficulty is that of power (again, a basic question you confuse because of your dogmatic adherence to a philosopher who was supposed to be anything but dogmatic). Whether it is power or the will to power doesn't really matter that much, the argument is basically the same, only the degree of consequences shifts. But one has to imagine that if Nietzsche experienced such a catastrophe in a life without power that any sort of position of greatness which held similar ideas would end up being even more catastrophic. This is, again, a very basic question of the ancient understanding of power, indicative of a further blindness of Nietzsche. One must be aware of the great potential of catastrophe, of the idiot willing to throw himself into the labyrinth. But one must also have sympathy for the fated, that the hero must raise all of the ignoble along with himself, even if this means death.

Nietzsche thought death was a banality, he had no concern for the plight of the fated, only his own ignoble feeling of power. Such an understanding is against fate and heroism. What is the will to power in the face of such high values? A deep impoverishment, a historicised aesthetic, a plebeian romanticism.

Also funny is that you are ignorant that the basic argument here, that which gives rise to my own, is similar to the only true heirs to Nietzsche. Read more next time.

Not the anon you're speaking with, but Nietzsche's amor fati is very simply and clearly understood through his concept of eternal return. If you would be willing to affirm your choice within its circumstances thousands upon thousands of times, then you are also a true affirmer of life and a true affirmer of yourself. Pain or pleasure, life or death, victory or defeat all become marginal to the strength of living without regrets.

A good question, but also a difficult one. Of course contradiction in simple matters should not be a moral concern, to be able to contradict oneself may even be necessary for vitality. Here I am speaking of contradiction in the sense of socratic or mythic paradox set against aristotelian non-contradiction.

Obviously this was something criticised by Nietzsche as well. But what I neglected to mention above is the importance of seeing the essence of what is said. This is one of the other difficulties in reading Nietzsche, in many cases he says the right things or approaches the right questions. But from another perspective it is as if he is simply ticking all of the right boxes. For all of his hatred of the rational he had many mechanistic qualities to his thought. The great danger of the irrational is its impotence before greater laws, its inability to penetrate or even hold to its own character. And in much of what Nietzsche says, beneath the surface, it seems that the essential is lacking. As much as he speaks of the spirit he also condemns himself to mundane concerns. This would be, despite his protests, a mechanised and rationalist set of contradictions resolved through technical measures. In his own way, Nietzsche was an unconscious slave to the law of non-contradiction.

We even see this in his understanding of fate, as I suggested above. His relation is not paradoxical, but an absolute resolution of the contradiction of fate and return. This is how Nietzsche has to be read, not on the surface of whether or not these are interesting questions, as obviously they are interesting. The greater question is to what extent such a path is capable of returning the spirit, whether the will to power is capable of return to fate and spirit or just as likely to fall to the base instincts, if the love of fate is capable of even holding out against nihilism let alone resolving it, if the aesthetics of tragedy and the eternal return hold any power over the higher values. My initial thoughts are that they tend towards contradiction rather than paradox, and are thus fated to a weakening.

It is a matter of where one begins, the point from which perception begins to look out at the world, and with Nietzsche I see something like the spirit for spirit's sake. There is as much a potential for reduction to the mundane as there is for elevation. What we see with the ancients was opposite to this, the spirit is never a concern in itself, more often it is something received through a clear genealogy, an autochthonous relation to the earth. There is also a deep humility before fate, it is not something active, our spirit is rather a means of transition, something we must elevate ourselves to but also be willing to relinquish. Nietzsche's response is much like the dying monarch's desperate hold on power, reduced to mechanical responses which will only worsen his fate and the court surrounding him. This is technical and self-destructive power of those who are fated to lose everything they have.

As for drink. The inability to get drunk is often due to a mastery over one's fate. It suggests a great strength of character. At the level of comedy it may also be the best way to experience the entirety of the festival, one sees the whole of celebration within a slowing of time. It is a great way to understand the character of everyone involved, and I suppose hold a lawful authority over the celebrations.

In another sense, it is the very necessity of law. As was forgotten in Syracuse one must hold watch over festivities, so the master of drink is something of a watchman or guardian.

You are in every sense, wrong. Fate has no control over Zeus, 'moira' literally means 'apportion', because it dealt with mortal lives.

Unfortunately no. He is on my list though.
I think the Nietzschean distinction of mind and spirit is false however. The basic argument is Socratic madness, although I think an even more powerful argument can be made from the perspective of Archimedes. His 'ultrarationalism' was even dedicated to the Muses, whereas the extreme aesthetics of someone like Nietzsche falls well short of being a sacrifice to the Muses. What holds to greater laws is thus not dependent on spirit or mind, the rational or irrational.
This is also contained in the myths as many of the gods have a dualistic quality, there is no divide between types of perception And of course insight, both rational and irrational is a gift of the gods. From this perspective one may sense that abandonment of the deeper laws characterises modern perception, and is applied equally to both the rational and irrational. This becomes clear when we look at art, the irrational descends to even lower levels than the purely rational.
Neither is better, they each hold strengths and weaknesses. What is significant is the relation to greater laws, and one should remember that what may destroy the man of spirit can also occur to the man of the mind in other societies. Arguably the great weakness of Athens, which Xenophon alluded to.

The one who has undergone a certain degree of profound suffering, and has also chosen to turn towards it rather than shy away from it, will be unable to refute any "refutation" that a person who has not undergone a certain degree of profound suffering, will put forward against "Nietzsche's philosophy".
What lies within Nietzsche's writings for the latter group of individuals, is a highly unique experience that is dependant on the degree of suffering that the individual has undergone.
What this will often amount to, is an absolute wall.
Those who have undergone profound suffering, are also not exempt from becoming individuals who use their suffering as means of justification for their freedom-denying behaviors -
His conclusions changed page by page, book by book, but that is not the point. To refute him, you would have to determine what his conclusions are, which are hundreds of slightly different but highly similar conclusions - and still end up, someone who has chosen to distract themselves with freedom-denying behavior. The blameworthiness of that someone, however, cannot be too harshly given, unless they have profoundly suffered, and turned away from freedom.

you mean better:

"Mankind has ventured to call pity a virtue (—in every superior moral system it appears as a weakness—); going still further, it has been called the virtue, the source and foundation of all other virtues—but let us always bear in mind that this was from the standpoint of a philosophy that was nihilistic, and upon whose shield the denial of life was inscribed. Schopenhauer was right in this: that by means of pity life is denied, and made worthy of denial—pity is the technic of nihilism. Let me repeat: this depressing and contagious instinct stands against all those instincts which work for the preservation and enhancement of life: in the rôle of protector of the miserable, it is a prime agent in the promotion of décadence—pity persuades to extinction.... Of course, one doesn’t say “extinction”: one says “the other world,” or “God,” or “the true life,” or Nirvana, salvation, blessedness.... This innocent rhetoric, from the realm of religious-ethical balderdash, appears a good deal less innocent when one reflects upon the tendency that it conceals beneath sublime words: the tendency to destroy life."

Before the introduction of Christianity in Europe, they grew up to care less about it than they do now. So something like slave morality was indeed introduced at some point.
As to what is natural as in biological, to argue it you'd have to know what was before the introduction of what Nietzsche classifies as slave moralities both hereditary and most frequent among humans in development *after* childhood, what's instinctive to children not necessarily being representative of what's natural to adults.

In Genealogy of Morals Nietzsche explicitly writes that he disliked the New Testament but that he admires the Old Testament because in it he "find[s] a people".
So you're both wrong on that count.
Also >>16385754 is brainlet for not realizing that in that excerpt Nietzsche is taking the point of view of a Roman official in the time of Jesus. For a high-ranking miiltary officier and imperial servant like Pilate, caring too much about the fate of one random Jew would have been a serious mishandling of priorities.

>>16385716
Read Genealogy of Morals. Nietzsche's dislike for Germans and his taste for the OT is not dubious.

Nietzsche's opinion on Jews is ambiguous, in typical Nietzschean fashion. Certainly he disliked the slave morality they brought about (according to his analysis) in the world, but he also recognized its importance and to some extent admired their style, and he understood that antisemites were just as much a symptom of slave morality as anything else. His position on the Jewish Question is pretty telling in this regard, he though the question was superfluous, just leave the Jews alone, it's not like the Protestant German of his time were any better (in his analysis Protestantism is itself very Jewish at heart).

They put themselves against all those conditions under which, hitherto, a people had been able to live, or had even been permitted to live; out of themselves they evolved an idea which stood in direct opposition to natural conditions—one by one they distorted religion, civilization, morality, history and psychology until each became a contradiction of its natural significance."

If you don’t see how “life-affirming” can be interpreted as conceptually akin to a general “good” then maybe you’re the one who needs to re-read. The larger critique of BGE isn’t whatever meta-ethical placeholders we want to exchange across time, but the necessity for that habit of creation in the first place. N does not provide an answer to this that is exempt from the problem, hence the necessity of a philosophy of the future or a new species of man all together.

Well you see it wrong. The upshot of N’s project is never the contingencies, but the deeper “human, all too human” psychological dispositions behind them. And he absolutely has a vision for an ideal human psychological disposition, namely one of strength (this is ironically where Bertrand Russell’s offhand dismissal is simultaneously the most accurate, though I doubt he realized this). But therein lies the very problem he is hellbent of investigating. Dionysian Pessimism may be more vitalizing or affirming or organic or whatever but why the fuck should that matter in the first place? We’re back at the same moral disposition that led us to decay in the first place.

The Nazis were fucking retards who thought the "blonde beast" that Nietzsche talks about was their Aryan poster boy and not a fucking lion which is what it obviously is by context. They misread Nietzsche entirely, which is hilarious because if you actually read his works he constantly warns you to read slowly and carefully because if you breeze through it and take quotes out of context you'll completely misunderstand.

Do people think that by saying that because Nazis were influenced in their anti-egalitarianism by Nietzsche this somehow refutes Nietzsche's ideas. This is just a fallacy by association and ignores two things.

Firstly, Nietzsche's anti-egalitarianism is unconscious and psychological. The Nazi anti-egalitarianism is supra conscious and biological. The Nazis refer to "volk" , and master races in a biological supra-conscious way. But this doesn't exist in Nietzsche because his anti-egalitarianism is primarily social. So for example Socrates appears in an anti-egalitarian society and reverses horizontal ideas of about politics with holistic metaphysical solutions. The same with Rousseau, egalitarianism appears in non-egalitarian societies because there is always a tension between an organic horizontal ordering and a potential revolution from below. This culminates in the reversal of the master morality with Christianity.

Secondly Nietzsche political agenda does not allow for mass movements that can genuinely change culture from below. Nietzsche hated socialism for this reason, as revolt of the masses in favor of egalitarianism . Nietzsche idea of order and rank therefore does not find common footing with the Nazi one, in a crucial respect. Nazism is nothing without a "people" following a darwinian trajectory. But the ordering has nothing to do with the power of nobility, but an inherited "power" for domination which is superior. The "Aryan" Nazis would prevail against the Jews because were inherently tied to the land they lived in , whereas the Jews were fought insidiously and were cosmopolitan. But the ideal of Nietzsche's "overman" is conniving machiavel that manipulates the masses and is above them. There is therefore an obvious metaphysical disagreement with the two. Nazism thinks of the will to power springing up organically and being shared by a "people" because by providence it is how nature commands, whereas for Nietzsche the will to power is a reserve of power and cannot be squandered , else it becomes impotent and diluted resulting again in a slave morality. From this point of view Nazism seems more Hegelian really than Nietzschean.

what a convoluted mess of falsehoods
National Socialists got their anti-egalitarianism from Nietzsche
this doesn't refute him, but proves him right
Nietzsche was not against a people or a race, but against Herde-Mentality, which we find in Socialism, but not in National Socialism
National Socialism is not Socialism
see:
>"Christianity, sprung from Jewish roots and comprehensible only as a growth on this soil, represents the counter-movement to any morality of breeding, of race, privilege: it is the anti-Aryan religion par excellence. Christianity--the revaluation of all Aryan values, the victory of chandala values, the gospel preached to the poor and base, the general revolt of all the downtrodden, the wretched, the failures, the less favored, against "race": the undying chandala hatred as the religion of love."

What the. Not that guy but National Socialism has a bigger herd mentality than socialism (which is mostly connived by intellectuals). That's one of its principal strengths - actually tapping into the "will of the people".

>> No.16390067

>>16389971

Again, I'm pointing out the philosophical disagreement. Even if Nietzsche believed in things like races,herd-mentality and overmen, he did not believe in "Master-races" that were meant to rule over other no matter what. Nietzsche believes in a political contingency and realism (his idea of grand politics, and political Aristotelianism) , which ultimately come down to social pragmatism. And this is the closest Nietzsche came to have a political program.

But this is not the case with Nazism, which fails the gamut of Nietzsche's herd-mentality because by sheer biological providence or the romantic idea of volk , the upshot fort hem is that they will always collectively dominate. It is an anti-egalitarianism between races that already presupposes mass collectivist action and a shared will from the Fuhrer to the lowest aryan German. Both positions are ant-egalitarian , but differ in crucial aspects and therefore are mutually exclusive. There is no proof Hitler ever read Nietzsche (he was half-literate) and there is no doubt that Nazis were more influenced by American biological racism of the time (which stemmed from liberal social reformism) than any a tract of Nietzsche.

>“A state, is called the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly lieth it also; and this lie creepeth from its mouth: "I, the state, am the people."

>Where there is still a people, there the state is not understood, but hated as the evil eye, and as sin against laws and customs.”

definitely seems to have inspired Hitler for example:
>"The state is only a means to an end. its end and its purpose are to preserve and promote a community of human beings who are physically as well as spiritually kindred - States which do not serve this purpose have no justification for their existence. they are monstrosities."

You clearly don't understand what I said then, I said in my first post, what Hitler is referring to here is supra-conscious reality that exists for the mass which shares a kinship and cannot be contained by the laws of one state The nazi state was going to be supra-national). But this level of inherent "natural" kinship does not exist for Nietzsche. Nietzsche wasn't even against the use of the state as a lie, because his contradictions point to an amoralistic political realism ultimately. The Nazis by contrast were moral crusaders that everything for the volk was upright and anything else was wrong.

It's telling because Holderlin's Truth is the answer to perspectivism. Nietzsche simply replaces the potential error of truth with a will that cannot error. It is a Kantianism of the instincts which can never know the spirit, hence the aesthetic failure and elevation of the tragic into something like Christian revelation.

A great weakness before truth which must hold to the initial state of pure feeling if it is to endure the lowest values, and elevate them. But it is mistaken to think that even the highest spirits can elevate themselves above the laws, the opposite is more likely true: the dispirited will become a criminal figure in the age of the mind, having to rob from the spirit and devalue in his own way.

This is where Nietzsche falls short of romanticism, and where we sense a deep pessimism that infects his words. He cannot escape moralism, and is in the end destroyed by Queen Truth. The power of the emotions has a demonic quality which has long driven the human to its curse.

My reference point is again Diomedes. In wounding Aphrodite he threatens a return of the gods to the moment of creation, and it is in this that we see the total violence of a law which threatens the gods themselves. In the Iliad we already see Pindar's fragment on the utmost violence of law which is equal in its reign over mortals and immortals. Diomedes threatens a great incursion into the world of the gods, one which may bring the gods to a state of civil war. This is the risk entailed in the greatest cities, their foundation entails the judgement of the gods as well as their potential conflict. Holderlin's Themis, the great sanctuary of No Man's Land where Diomedes and Glaucus meet. It is equal to the divine law of the city, but appears at the threshold of another world. Where the oath is broken both man and god come face to face with the absolute counsel of violence.

I read another of Holderlin's fragments this morning, on the divinity of wine formed as a river. This is similar to Proteus in Goethe's plants, an entire world metamorphosed within the smallest part of nature. We see in nature its violence against itself, but also a simplicity which is its perfection. A form of total violence which only strengthens, bloodless figures which rise from other worlds. Where the river returns against itself, as in the tidal bore, there is an incredible force, a return to its origins, meandering along wooded banks. There is a great peace in it, all of the debris of a storm that goes on for days returning through calm.

This was how the Greeks understood fate, a severity within which one must not become caught up in the debris, but as the peace as in death and returning to other worlds. Such humility before fate is not weakness, it is simply the necessity of a type of enduring which knows it must give way to the violence of greater laws. This is a strengthening factor, rather than the hardness espoused in the nature of the early conservatives of the modern era. Hardness ensures only greater destruction once enough force is applied. A tool must be tempered correctly for its use, and there is no perspective that may overcome the violence of such laws.

Nietzsche was the type of figure, like Zeus towards his end, that would devour all of his enemies, turn their power into his own hardening against time. It is this side of Zeus that is subject to fate, he does not escape the laws of his genealogy, instead he turns the violence of time into an eternal recurrence - an absolute war in which all will submit or he will stand alone. We see the beginning of his disappearance in Prometheus Bound, a necessity of power, but one which, if it fails, is the beginning of the end of his reign.

yes, according to Nietzsche, the one you're attempting to refute.
Nietzsche would say there's absolutely nothing wrong with you wanting to raise a family as a purpose for your life. But it doesn't make you a master and certainly not an ubermensch, at least not on its own.
If you think that Nietzsche is calling you bad for not being a master moralist, then you're misunderstanding his philosophy. He isn't saying you're either a master which is good or a slave which is bad, he's saying that the world is mostly comprised of masters and slaves and that both are necessary. What he does condemn explicitly is Christian morality (which is a slave morality), and the harmful slave mentality resulting from resentiment.
You're mad at Nietzsche because he called you as you are. If you were a master moralist you wouldn't be upset by these assertions, because you can be a master moralist and raise a family. But you're a herd animal full of resentiment, which is why his philosophy angers you.

It's true. There are things you can pick apart from earlier in his writings (although he himself condemns a lot of his earlier work) and his writings on women are essentially worthless and full of projection, but by Genealogy of Morals the core of his phiosophy is irrefutable.
Keep in mind that it's not just his detractors that misread/don't read him. It's also a large amount of his followers. For example >>16391871 a complete misunderstanding of master morality.
Nietzsche is really easy to misunderstand, which is why he constantly urges the reader to read with patience. The wording is very careful and an excerpt which may say one thing on its own can mean the complete opposite in context. Also why it's very important what translation you read.
