Nietzsche is definitely a watershed. I was introduced to his works when I was young. Luckily, at that moment, I couldn't understand his books when reading them directly. Later, with guidance and more background, I learned about his ideas. It was a slap in the face! Life will never be the same; a veil of reality has been uncovered. Thank you for the video!
I read So spoke Zarathustra when I was in my late 20s and I found it quite difficult to understand on a philosophical point of view. After seeing this great video I think I should read it again.
I sugges to read but also get very well prepared, it is difficult to understand the work because you need to know what he is talking about; have background.
I think in Zarathustra he is addressing the fact that Gd is dead as a cultural fact. It is a rather transcendental manner of addressing the meaning of existence. It does not appear to be the full purport of the book. Overcoming will be the greatest struggle for the person we wish to become. Who we should morally become. The existence of Gd is not our issue. Being is our purpose. What ever our being is.
Great video, i watched it after your video on Jungs Liber Novus, i have both versions, those were the first book i bought of Jungs works, i quickly realised i had to have some background on Jung before reading further, so i bought Memoirs Dreams and Reflections, now i have read most of his later works, on Alchemy, Aion, Answer to Job and countless other of people close to Jung, and collaborators. I started 4 years ago, and my worldview have completly changed since i discovered Jung, i truly believe he is one of those very very rare persons that bring about a possible change in human chance and counsciousness (Possible). I have never read Zarathustra, but many many phrases, and references from it. I think the language is somewhat similar to that of Liber Novus, albeit more grand in Zarathustra, the spirit of the depths bombastic voice and Imaginal image making comes through. I think it might be time to read Thus spoke Zarathustra, i have Jungs lecture on it i will read afterwards. Thanks for making great videos on Jungs work, you are one of the few channels to do it well, i hope you make more of Jungs work availabe.
Nietzsche turned me back to the love of Christ. Thanks Fredric. Your writings were phenomenal as a philosopher. A friend and I studied them for years in great depth. But Christ far surpasses the ramblings of a wounded soul who's statements, really, did little more than throw dust into the eyes of lost societies claiming existentialism was the meaning to their lives. To risk "love" that is the meaning of life, one does so at one's peril. A mere man - a tortured soul at that - could never compare to the Christ, who claimed, that love is the meaning of life! Without LOVE life is lost...and without it, we really are no more than the tightrope walker whom Zarathustra attempts to bedazzle at the moment of his demise, claiming that life itself is an end to all. The souls IS immortal. Words, just fragments in time.
The great orchestral tone poem by Richard Strauss was later used in the movie "2001 a space odyssey " by Stanley Kubrick and when the Tata company in India which is owned by Parsees or Zoroastrians,launched a new mini car several years ago they used the orchestral tone poem by Strauss to launch their new product.
Excellent video! Nietzsche always sparks in me the question whether the whole scientific endeavor was [intentionally?] flawed from the start. For one, it seems like we went on a detour via the scenic route, from spirituality to “materialism, realized that it’s baloney (Bernardo Kastrup).” Just to come all the way back to realize the Universal Mind and Consciousness, were always fundamental. Furthermore the rope principle is lacking inside the scientific community more than anywhere. It’s occasionally masqueraded to exist authentically in the tech industry, but the more one digs, the clearer it appears for what it really is… a temporary misdirect. The proverbial rope is stretched between two Overton windows through which no one can pass because there is nothing but a sliver-sized crack which is open. Arguably to prevent anyone from being able to complain that the advertisements claimed “access to fresh air”
it means that there's nothing stopping us from becoming who we are, since there's nothing outside of ourselves. It also means that a powerful paradigm shift must take place before that becomes possible -- from now on, not the commoner, not the Average Joe and "the recession to the mean", but the Übermensch must now become "the measure of all things" for us. The Übermensch can live only as an ideal. An ideal is alive when it is "dreamt", when it is actively pursued. That's what represents the shift from otherworldly Christian values and manifests the grounded human ideal.
“Among my writings my Zarathustra stands by itself. With this book I have given mankind the greatest gift it has ever been given.” - Ecce Homo, Nietzsche
When Nietzsche talks about the eternal recurrence i am reminded of Buddhist ideas of rebirth, but this goes further in that it leads to a rebirth of actions ( karmic stream of causation ) so what is unique about his view in comparison to the ideas of the east? Rebirth leads to a god incarnation in Hinduism and to final letting go in Buddhism, i realise Nietzsche is not being religious here and doesn't develop the idea much more than that, or does he?
"God cant and shouldn't be dead" as write Carl Jung. While man create songs and hymns and sing them to even the birds in Forrest's, God is not dead in him. What is the book "That spoke Zaratustra" if not hymn to everyone and to no one; hymn and song to birds of the forrest...
"God is dead" is without a doubt -- at least according to me -- Nietzsche's most important philosophical contribution. What "God is dead" means is that the entire platonic tradition, the scholasticism, Descartes, and the modern rationalist thought of the last 500 years are dead as well. There are no phantasmal realms, like the ones the religious entities (like angels or demons) inhabit, there's no platonic realm of forms, nor Descartes' of clear and distinct ideas. Which means that Nietzsche doesn't merely kill God, THE PLACE WHERE GOD DWELLS IS DEAD AS WELL (the entire realm of metaphysics, that is). That act renders all gestures outside of space and time highly implausible, inconceivable even. The whole tradition of Idealism, the deeply rooted hope of moving outside of nature is fatally undermined. It is dead. This is what "God is dead" entails. For me, at least.
nietsche had beautiful quotes amazing philosophy but after his heart ❤ was broken by the girl he wanted 💔 and chased his shadow stared writing ✍ for him the shadow he had never conquered. we all change with time ⏲ everything changes just look at your parents. the best quote that touched me is by.marcus. everything is an opinion not a fact 💯 👌 to some that means use your own personal information and guidance and.learn from others mistakes. life is a bitch and then you marry one 😉
You speak generally enough about things and it can be applied to anything and everything giving it the illusion of being profound. A nice trick it's kind of similiar to cold reading.
With all due respect, you got all of his ideas wrong. He starts with advocating for the creative self, but the than sees that his cosmic self ( the spinozan will) is his true self and he has to destroy the illusion of his individual self and become a child. The individual ( Faustian self) is the leonine will, it is ugly and stiff. Battle-scarred warrior. But to become a superhero is to destroy that illusion and accept your animal self ( dwarf, snake). Also he goes from praising wisdom, to praising life and finally to praising eternity. All wrong, maybe study it better, from real scholars instead of the internet and video's. Start with "T.K Sueng epics of the soul" and than "Composing the soul, Graham Parkes" Also that Byronic, edgy voice your putting on seems fake. Relax and let yourself go, don't force it Try to make it more profound, because Nietzsche himself says that “Every profound spirit needs a mask: even more, around every profound spirit a mask is continually growing.”
With all due respect, my analysis aligns with the analysis of professors who studied Nietzsche their whole life (watch Professor Robert C. Solomon). Also I am not forcing anything. This is the way I feel when I am reading the script I wrote and most people find it quite melodic and engaging. Reducing yourself to such unimaginative comments is quite sad.
I teach you the Übermensch. Man is something that shall be overcome. What have you done to overcome him?
"One must be a sea to receive a polluted stream without becoming impure"

Wow.
"Enlightenment is when a wave realizes it is the ocean"

Wow that's one of the greatest short introduction to his Magnum Opus
thank you

beautifully articulated
Person that made praxis of Nietzsche philosophy is Novatore that I recommend you to read his texts especially his book Towards the creative nothing
will check it out
12:21 Zordon from power rangers lol, they always put these things in shows
haha
Bruh lol
Superb brother… Thanks for this …. You have now forced me to buy and read this epic book …
great investment my brother

Great video. “Amor Fati” one of my favorites from Nietzsche, amazing writer and thinker ❤

Amazing video. Thank you so much for creating this - and for sharing it with the rest of the world! 👌🙏🌌🦋☀️☯️🌺🐝
Thank you so much!
What an interpretation, Salute
i.do enjoy your videos you are very talented and well read 📚
"DEAD ARE ALL GODS, NOW WE WANT THE OVERMAN TO LIVE - LET THIS BE OUR LAST WILL ONE DAY AT THE GREAT NOONTIDE!"
What does that mean?
it means that there's nothing stopping us from becoming who we are, since there's nothing outside of ourselves. It also means that a powerful paradigm shift must take place before that becomes possible -- from now on, not the commoner, not the Average Joe and "the recession to the mean", but the Übermensch must now become "the measure of all things" for us.

“Among my writings my Zarathustra stands by itself. With this book I have given mankind the greatest gift it has ever been given.” - Ecce Homo, Nietzsche
Nietzsche is the GOAT.
He is I indeed
Any guy that hugs a horse is good enough for me, (despite that moustache).🐴🐪🦁🐉
legend in every way

Rebirth leads to a god incarnation in Hinduism and to final letting go in Buddhism, i realise Nietzsche is not being religious here and doesn't develop the idea much more than that, or does he?
He wasn't very accustomed with eastern philosophies. Schopenhauer was though and Nietzsche was inspired by Schopenhauer so there is a connection.
"God cant and shouldn't be dead" as write Carl Jung.

powerful comment
spinoza type beat
How about to check for Spinoza?
will probably cover him in a future video
🖤
nietsche had beautiful quotes amazing philosophy but after his heart ❤ was broken by the girl he wanted 💔 and chased his shadow stared writing ✍ for him the shadow he had never conquered.
we all change with time ⏲ everything changes just look at your parents.
the best quote that touched me is by.marcus.
everything is an opinion not a fact 💯 👌
to some that means use your own personal information and guidance and.learn from others mistakes.
life is a bitch and then you marry one 😉
He's just a rich kid.
who? Nietzsche?
Nietzsche was very critical of religion he didnt find value in it
You speak generally enough about things and it can be applied to anything and everything giving it the illusion of being profound. A nice trick it's kind of similiar to cold reading.
This is also a very generic comment so yeah
@@metamorphosis_77 good so we agree then.
why is this undeniably funny, and absurd.
No, he didn't speak thus. Case dismissed, next.
NEXT

Try to make it more profound, because Nietzsche himself says that “Every profound spirit needs a mask: even more, around every profound spirit a mask is continually growing.”
