Nothing I've read about Nietzsche comes close to capturing the vibe.
He's not a philosopher with arguments you can summarize like say Hume.
It's very readable, there's no real excuse for not having read Thus Spoke Zarathustra
yes Thus Spoke Zarathustra is great. And no, I haven't read it
It's just some guy carrying a dead line dancer on his back, and then dumping him in a tree when he can't be bothered anymore
The fact that he's not methodical or very structured makes him easy to read, and impossible to grasp whether you actually got his point. It's fun philosophy
He writes very beautifully; I wish he did novels.
I've read and studied Nietzsche for over 20 years, first fell in love with Thus Spoke Zarathustra in my youth, I now tell people not to bother.
I thought a lot of people read Nietzsche in high school.
I did but being in high school most of what I got from it was fuck the rules, make your own
I stayed in a hotel room once that had Ecce Homo on the coffee table.
I'd rather have that than the Bible, I guess
Ecce on the table Jocko on the radio
OK LET'S GO
Should I bother reading Nietsche?
I feel like it’s time better spent on Hegel or maybe some Frankfurt School thinkers. But a part of me feels irresponsible to not study Nietsche since he inspires so many fascists
