That I did. I figured I already got the Nachlass and I didn't need her personal selection from it. When I'm done with all his stuff I will give the e-book of the Will the Power a read though, out of curiosity.

>> No.2650756

>>2650727

I greatly recommend John Richardson's "Nietzsche's System" it argues that the Will to Power is a trans-perspectival truth. You can see it to the far left of my shelf. Took a class with him at NYU definitely a good read for a Nietzsche scholar.

Kaufmann's biography is also a great read. I actually did my graduate thesis on Nietzsche's philosophy of science (for the record Babette Babich's work is pseudo-scientific quackery). What are you working on with Nietzsche's thought?

Well, I'm still working through the whole thing chronologically (although I have read most of his later stuff already, I've decided to read everything in order) to get a good overview. I don't know where I'll go from there yet. I dropped out of a philosophy bachelor last year, the academic path wasn't for me. I don't plan on writing anything on my findings other than for my own use.

I do tend to find myself pondering the relations between Nietzsche's thought and my other interests though. Nietzsche and ancient Cynicism is an interesting combination. In a lot of ways he could be said to be their literary heir. Nietzsche and transhumanism is also interesting. As is Nietzsche and Buddhism, with which he shared more than he perhaps knew himself knew.

He shared thought with Buddism through Schopenhauer's misreading of it.

I still find Buddhism to be as far embrogated in slave ethics and conventional Christianity.

Though it is more Kantian...like Nietzsche and Schopenhauer are...

Sure, Searle's falls under the analytic side of the philosophic spectrum. Doesn't mean one has to only read and enjoy one side or the other.

Sure, but Searle is an absolutely shitty philosopher. His philosophy of mind is a thinly-veiled argument for man being God's chosen species. Sickening, really.

Aside from this, OP has great shelves. I was spot-on with anthropology and expected something more philosophical too. Didn't expect the philosophy/history of science though.

searle is just intuition-bait for materialism-skeptics, which is fine.

but when pressed they cant produce any implications.

his every argument a flawed premise.
