The Life Of Friedrich Nietzsche
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2024
- The Life of Friedrich Nietzsche is one which vacillates, frequently I might add, between Tragic and productive. I think you would be hard pressed to find an individual who does not know of Nietzsche. Perhaps you have seen a quote in passing or maybe, if you have studied philosophy, you know parts (or all) of his philosophic doctrine. Whatever level your knowledge of his philosophy may be at, how much do you know about Friedrich Nietzsche the man? Join me in discovering what inspired him to write perhaps what is the most popular of 20th and 21st century philosophies.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
Friedrich Nietzsche
DMX. Slipping.
Never realized this DMX quote was from Nietzsche originally. Wow
In Mein Kampf Hitler credits the philosophy of Hegel, Fichte, Schilling and above all Nietzsche with surviving his down and out days in Vienna. He credits Nietzsche for teaching him that "He who would live must fight. He who doesn't wish to fight in this world, where permanent struggle is the law of life, has not the right to exist."
No there was no such thing, because I've read that book already. No such thing.
Why lie? Nietzsche very clearly influenced Hitler but no credit of the sort was given in Mein Kampf. If your point is as silly as, "look what the guy who read nietzsche did, nietzsche must be wrong", he was also appropriated by french post-modernists who are far from german nazis. An author is not solely responsible for the bastardizations of their words, you must write as well as you can but still your words will be misinterpreted by some
In regards to The Gay Science: a more accurate translation would be the Science of Joy. Fröh, in German, means joy, wissenschaft means science. So the literal translation is joyful science, and the only reason why we call it the gay science, is because gay was a word which, at the time, referred to happiness, but now we should change the way in which we reference the book, because gay has an entirely different meaning in our era.
Wow really, nobody ever thought that ever once you’re so clever
This video was beautifully crafted. Great work.
Thank you for the kind words and continued support!
Excellent video. Looking forward to The Philosophy of Frederick Nietzsche video
Cheers, thank you for the support!
Really like your work! Keep it up!
Thanks Ivan, good to see you again. I very much appreciate your continued support!
Very nice video. Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching and I am glad you found it helpful!
Thank you, this is a brilliant video.
Thank you for the kind words Alex, I am happy that you enjoyed it!
Seriously excellent work!!!
Thank you, your words are not lost on me, I truly appreciate them!
@@LetsTalkPhilosophy I appreciate your excellent content :)
Amazing work.
Good job.
Thank you, I hope you found it helpful!
I am more of a battlefield than a man
As a fluent speaker of German I'd rather translate "Die fröhliche Wissenschaft" into "The joyous science" in English.
In today's world most people would probably misinterpret the meaning of the word gay in the title.
I understand that view. Thanks for taking the time to comment and contribute, cheers friend!
Zarathustra is certainly his magnum opus. It’s filled with genius existential insight.
It is sad that his sister bastardized his work, rather than writing her own. Disgusting that his name is intertwined with the nazis not because of his own mind, but his sister’s ignorance
Sad indeed friend.
I thought he was Jewish he was not
I thought he was Jewish he was not

Does anyone know of more video biographies of Nietzche? Can’t seem to find for some reason
12:00
Make yourself find in the worst, gold.
Yes!
Man your work is great can you please do it for other phlisophers?
I have completed a few names over the past couple years, but am trying to work out a way where I can get more done. Simply been very busy at work and it takes a bit to get these done. Thank you for taking the time to watch, and I will endeavor to improve and keep producing!
@@LetsTalkPhilosophy well I cannot wait to see what else you make! I really loved this video
I am italian and read that Nietzsche was in Torino and saw a horse being beaten. He tried to protect the horse and he (Nietzsche, non the horse) collapsed-- the beginning of his breakdown. Do you know anything about this? The protection of the animal alone makes him a great hero for me.I find it terribly sad that he so wanted to be in the military---in the abstract-- there was no war...yet. Also perhaps you mean "feminine" rather than "feminist" in his criticism of Wagner. Thank you for a thoughtful video. (oh... I think "gay science" is a rather outdated translation. "Freuden" does not mean "homosexual." Perhaps "Man and Superman"..... ;)
17:45 Where is this "Philosophy of Fredrick Nietzsche" video you promised?
Does anyone know of some other videos about his life Gw?
There must be countless out there, I would even venture to say complete documentaries. Good luck on your search!
Ian Brady quoted him. I understand Hitler did too. That will to power/make your own morality/superman thing.
You left out the part about his horse.
Some things will always amaze me. Like why anyone takes Marx seriously. He thinks like a child. I used to think just like Marx until I grew up and became a responsible adult. AND also, why anyone takes Nietzsche serious. He thinks like a child. I used to think just like Nietzsche until I grew up and became a responsible adult. Some people remain child-like their entire lives. Hence, Marx and Nietzsche, and their legacies, and their disciples.
BOT
I don't see in any way, shape or form how the thoughts of Nietzsche resemble the thoughts of a child. Do you mean naive? Are you trying to say that both Nietzsche and Marx were very naive in their way of thinking?
Zarathustra is by no means a failure. I have read it and loved it.
He would of much appreciated the words, I am sure at the time of publication he could have used them!
Same. Read it in high school. One of my favorites. I also really liked The Antichrist, as I agree with Nietzsche that pagan religions were superior, monotheism a mistake, and pretty much everything else he says in there about Buddhism and Christianity. lol
But yes, Zarathustra is an existential masterpiece. What did you get from it?
@@johnhill762 I understood that most people pertain to the herd. But after careful reflection and reading all Neitzsche's books l've realised he was off course. There really is only one God and Jesus really did die for our sins. So that makes Neitzsche a promoter of chaos. Wisdom only comes from God.
@@ralphricart3177what made you realise that?
Obviously reading and reflecting, but what in that process
Why do people seek wisdom from people who suffered all their lives.
This is a common criticism of Nietzsche, and valid to a degree. If you are seeking a role model then he may not be the one to consider, but the wisdom of his work is not, in my opinion, connected to his personal life as even if he had published anonymously the words would stand on their own merit. And if they speak to you then I would not let his personal experiences get in the way of any help they can give. Perhaps the fact that he suffered much would draw people to him even more since they may sense a sort of kinship with him. Cheers I hope this helped and thanks for taking the time to watch!
Thanks for replying. However, cannot take life advice from a miserable man. It's false intelligence. Just like a poor person speaking about money. 🙂
@Mashiach Adonai I understand, cheers friend.
Well, sometimes, those who suffer learn a lot about life because of that suffering.
Further, wisdom doesn’t necessarily mean “to no longer suffer”, or a state of non-suffering. Wisdom is about understanding, and suffering can occur despite one’s understanding rather than because of its limitations or shortcomings.
Meaning… wisdom and suffering seem to be two very independent things that don’t seem to coincide in any meaningful way. One can never suffer and have zero wisdom; and one can have great wisdom and suffer tremendously.
There is no reason why the two should not run parallel.
Be careful of taking advice from a philosopher who ended up insane.
I heard he went crazy for 10 years, why you didn't explain it? Also you didn't mention the horse that he encountered. What was it all about? Disappointing video.
And he died alone, sick in extreme poverty,in a small room,yelling and screaming,wasa famous atheist.
@@josesuarez7452 he didn't explain jack...
VD damaged his brain syphillis
He did leave a lot out. But he got some of the important bits in there, to his credit.
Why would anyone take advice from a guy who was unsuccessful in every human metric? He did not have any money, no familiy, no women, no friends, literally nothing to make him worthy of listening to...
I do believe that words go further when weighted with action, but do you not believe too that in some degree words stand on their own merit?
@@LetsTalkPhilosophy I do believe that. But would not it be more convincing if succssesful action standed behind his words? It is like listening to a homeless guy giving financal adivce, he may be right. But still it would not be that persuasive as lets say rich guy telling you the same thing. Anyways, i get your point and want to say that you made a great video nonetheless and good luck!
@@nomercy4889 I agree with that point, words weighted by deeds leave a much greater impression!
totally agree. He should have at leased practiced what he preached. He was great in writing books but not great in life. But, you may say, Jesus also had a terrible life but people admired him. Yes, but he at least had Character! Did Nietzsche in any account have shown greatness of Character?
@@ntsopoul well... if he had such a great character he preached about, i think that he would have had a much better life and relationships rather than dying miserably in a house in Alps.
