10:49 Despite Nietzsche condeming the Platonic ideas of the Form of the Good and the supremacy of human reason, he ironically uses Plato's theory of psychology when talking about the pale criminal. Plato divided humans' psyches into three parts: the rational, the spirited (something like animalistic drives), and appetitive (desires). Nietzsche disects the psyche of the pale criminal into these three parts as well. The criminal's desire for blood is out of control, hijacking his spirited soul to murder, and leaving his rational mind confounded by his own being. I use the word ironic as I credit Nietzsche for doing this purposely, with his tougue in his cheek.
Please post Part Three soon, I can't wait 😁
Thank you for posting this! 👍

Thank you. I needed some help dissecting the Pale Criminal
Nietzsche, humanism and mindfulness.
17:38 A miserable little pile of secrets.

What an excellent review !!
The Pale Criminal sounds like Raskalnikov
