      It looks as though Neiche was an atheist. Also he seems to have denied conventional moral views by mankind on good & evil. Maybe he was closer to Pantheism & Bhudism?

      Misattributed quote. The way it appears in this famous quote is from Gordon Allport (originator of the likely flawed contact theory). The way Nietzsche describes it: "Man, the bravest animal and most prone to suffer, does not deny suffering as such: he wills it, he even seeks it out, provided he is shown a meaning for it, a purpose of suffering.”

Thank you also to all others who worked to create this wonderful introduction to, and overview of, Nietsche. What I notice most about this thinker is his indomitable spirit of creative work. He just never stopped! Talk about the energy of the universe having been fulfilled in that man's lifetime!

    The french postmodern philosphers in the second half of the 20th century resurrected Nietzsche after he was blamed for Nazism due to poor German scholarship in the interwar years. They created some amazing books and Nietzscheanism is very much alive in academic philosophy today because of it.
    Some legendary books I'd recommend: "Nietzsche and Philosphy"- Gilles Deleuze, "Nietzsche and the Vicious Circle" - Pierre Klossowki, and "On Nietzsche" - Georges Bataille

      Ok but they also philosophise to promote their ideology so how can you separate the true pursuit of enlightenment and the ideological chains seeking to capture? To paraphrase, “man is born free but is everywhere in chains”, which ushered in the post modernist scourge, which we are Co fronted with today big time! Philosophy is both liberating and enslaving in equal measure, like most things, which is just human nature… Alas less than 30% can spot the liars and snake oil salesmen, which is why Professor Matthias Desmet found that only 30% can resist mass formation, as recently proved during Covid 19 and again with climate alarmism…

    A superb job, guys. An authoritative bio/doc that does not sacrifice complexity to concision. Very well done.
    “It is expedient in every age that one man should stand at the gate of history and demand an accounting.”
    This man was neither all-seeing nor all-knowing; indeed there are enormous contradictions within his own doctrine. His work stands as a kind of prologue to the 20th century, a status he foresaw. He presents us with neither consistency nor certainty, but only with this imperative - that we think, boldly and intrusively. That is his legacy. That is why the name of Nietzsche remains the lodestone of the modern psyche.

Another reason, he wasn’t just a genius of the West, he suffered greatly, and still managed to soldier on with his writing in such a brief time. I’m a Christian existentialist, if you want to know how I roughly categorize myself, and, obviously, I don’t agree with his view of Judaic and Christian morality, but I love him.

    Sorry to see that his last book written while he was incarcerated, is not mentioned. His sister disowned it as his, because it was about his relationship with her. He gave it to a friend who visited him, otherwise we’d never have heard of it. I read it years ago - My Sister and I Excellent book.

A hateful man really. Perhaps even a psychopath. I'm glad I never wasted my time trying to read his works.

    People’s Profiles You asked what do I think of Frederick Nietzsche? Well I think the reason Nietzsche was an atheist is because he may have had a lot of problems growing up. Because it would be very hard I’m sure to be the son of a Lutheran priest. All I’m trying to say is I don’t think Nietzsche was a bad guy. I just think he was very misunderstood.

    In my perspective about suffering, pain, anger. From a Stoicism point of view: control, Ego, creates suffering, pain. Trying to control life, trying to control people, trying to control a situation creates suffering. The lack of understanding, the lack of information, knowledge, causes the person to generate hello in their heads.
    I respect belief systems, true faith is to believe in the invisible forcé, to feel it. Your faith, is within yourself.
    Through history, control, Ego , the ambition to power creates destruction, language is manipulated: Its a destructive force.
    Amor fati, to love a person, to love life, we have to love it with both aspects: positive and negative- Love the whole, love entirely, accept it entirely. We lie to ourselves If we only want the positive aspects: Everything has positive and negative aspects, and makes the harmony, the balances.
    We have to love life and dont try to control or think we know Everything or we can tell life how things should be done. As well as we dont have to control people, and situation: Allow Freedom, accept the whole, Love the whole. Feed Freedom allowing to feel free to choose, to express.

    I kept think about Richard Dawkins. I tend to think that people who become obsessed with attacking religion have a Messiah complex. Which seems to have been the case for Nietzsche? Also, he seems to have been one of those autistic types who can absorb vast amounts of information but struggle to see the wood for the trees. He seemed to vacillate all over the place and contradict himself endlessly. But I’m no philosopher, and found it a bit grandiose and self indulgent in my brief study of it. I’d describe myself as an evolutionary psychologist, which approach makes a lot more sense to me.
