These lectures are also available on Apple Podcasts, and there, too, there are only 7 Nietzsche lectures. For those of us who would like to read the sections of Nietzsche that Geuss is drawing on in the last several lectures, could anyone give advice? Is this mostly in Genealogy of Morals?
This was great, I'm a first-year philosophy student and before misunderstanding Nietzsche thanks to many other source I'm incredibly glad to be able to come across this amazing lecture. Thank you for uploading them and of course I'm grateful to Prof. Raymond Geuss for this class!
Hey, I really appreciate you uploading these lectures. I hope I don't sound redundant but if you have the rest of the lectures that would be really great!
Would have liked very much lecture eight, but respect the lecturers' strike. I hope he writes two books based on his illuminating and passionate Marx and Nietzsche lectures.
The interpretation in terms of comfort. That comfort comes do to the understanding of the situation at hand. In a sense to know why; why is such suffering happening.
I was an Atheist philosophy student at 20, now at 60, I intuit there is a meaning. It will always remain unknown, given our limited human awareness. We have, as Sapiens, been here for 300,000 years. Out of 4.5 billion. Dinosaurs ended 65,000,000 (Million) years ago. It is easy for a thinking
I think we can buy this book: books.google.com.tw/books?id=p_mwK6YJhV0C&pg=PA12&dq=raymond+geuss+Nietzsche&hl=zh-TW&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjKiKG0k_HdAhVMS7wKHZvRBlQ4FBDoAQgtMAE#v=onepage&q=raymond%20geuss%20Nietzsche&f=false
Nietzsche hated drinking alcohol. He also hated women. Two very worldly things. It's not so much that Nietzsche drew the line between the imaginary (Christian) and the real (food) but that he had a distaste for anything (real or imagined) that dulled one's life and lead to nihilistic tendencies and a herd mentality. Nietzsche had a distaste for real people (especially John Stuart Mill whom he called a flathead) who were to him mere utilitarians too technically attached to the real world. Nietzsche's critique is not even against the pessimistic, ascetic, Buddhist, Christian renunciation. What bothers him the most is that real priests in a real world pimp out imaginary myths for their own power by making others feel guilty about sin. You need to make these subtle nuances or Nietzsche comes off like an empiricist, which he was not. He was all for mystery, art, music, the Dionysian, the irrational, and even the unseen. What he despised was the way the priests turned such things into sin, especially where our own flesh was concerned. He was not the empirical skeptic you make him out to be, but rather a skeptic of VALUES and how they pervert what is both seen and unseen, rational and empirical, etc.
This lecture misses Nietzsche's biggest argument against the priests and that is the concept of pity. Pity is the key to the priests taking an upper-hand as if they are the moral agents and the masters who are in need of pity are reduced to only what such pity can give.
Sorry, got cut off there. It is easy to go to atheism. I did the same when I was 20. But, the fundamental way to approach the issue of a (God-Meaning) or (No God-Meaning) is simply through the question of TRUST in reality. Are we just some fluke self-aware evolutionary creature that developed, evolutionarily, to send messages around the world, using a phone? Or, is there something underneath that gives us a sense of a meaning, regardless of all the Hell life can be? God, or "Meaning", can not be proved, or disproved intellectually, regardless of what ALFREDO, the Nietschean professor "believes". It comes down to TRUST in Life. Some of the greatest thinkers have said " No God (Meaning). I respect their Truth. And, their ability to truly believe it. BUT, I sense a meaning, underneath it all. I personally ended up in the Advaita Vedanta, with a strong intuition of Karma and Reincarnation being my truth. Am almost 60, and to paraphrase Faust "Have studied philosophy, theology for 40 years or more, and here I Stand, No Wiser Than Before". Bon Chance
This lecture is muddled. Aristotle was an experimentalist not a truth-teller. Plato's mouthpiece Socrates was more of the truth-teller, though even he had moments of questioning. Nietzsche admired the Greeks in general though he does criticize Plato in The Will to Power. Nietzsche's critique of Christianity is less his concern about the introspection it causes as opposed to the herd mentality it generates, especially in regard to the eschatological comfort of the masses.
It is important to remember that this is only another perspective on reality which is far more complex than Nietzsche's views.Try Rudolf Steiner for a larger perspective.
This is probably the best damn Nietzsche lecture/video/talk I've ever come across.
And I mean all six of the videos of the lecture posted on youtube as a whole, not just this one last video I'm responding to.
Renan Virginio I published some videos on Nietzsche. I hope that both of you will check them out.
22:40 "The will to Truth" vs "THE WILL TO PIZZA"
I need more, where is the last episode :_(

Please upload part 8 :(
Hey, I really appreciate you uploading these lectures. I hope I don't sound redundant but if you have the rest of the lectures that would be really great!
Anyone know why the last lecture is missing? What does Nietzsche say about truth? I've got intellectual blue-balls.
Would have liked very much lecture eight, but respect the lecturers' strike. I hope he writes two books based on his illuminating and passionate Marx and Nietzsche lectures.
You are a legend for sharing this BUT WHERE is the 8th EPISODE!!!!! What a shame
in his last lecture, he is telling: next one about truth!
Where is that to find? I like him and Nietzsche aswell
The interpretation in terms of comfort. That comfort comes do to the understanding of the situation at hand. In a sense to know why; why is such suffering happening.
And the quality of recording is great. Thanks for the uploading.

Good but I wonder if he could be less repetitive. His style is kind of manic. I wonder if it reflect Friedrich's .
Is there a lecture after this one?
"turn up next time"
I cant because this is lecture 7 of 7 D:
Therefore a purpose is given to the slaves;knowing that change,that a change will occur not at the moment but soon to occur in the near future.
before this lecture series I thought I knew Nietzsche. How wrong I was. Thank you, professor Geuss,
for a great lecture.
To cause suffering upon ones self. With the idea of pleasing a higher power
has he ever talked about thus zarathustra?
Thank you for uploading these lectures.

16:30 Christianity instrospection
21:00 Lying (skill) isn't a taboo in this society.

books.google.com.tw/books?id=p_mwK6YJhV0C&pg=PA12&dq=raymond+geuss+Nietzsche&hl=zh-TW&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjKiKG0k_HdAhVMS7wKHZvRBlQ4FBDoAQgtMAE#v=onepage&q=raymond%20geuss%20Nietzsche&f=false
Thank you professor, I needed this philosophy

Thanks a lot for this!
He explains slave morality very well

Excellent lecture, clear and thoughtful.
Pity the students don't show more respect and turn up to the lectures on time .

dog ribs Geuss has a great chapter on Socrates in his book “Changing the Subject”

So salty about the lecture on truth not being uploaded
Excellent lecture, clear and thoughtful.
