I am 72 and feel that after years of retirement my brain is waking up from its sense of security and returning to the realm of dangerous thought and challenge which Neitzsche seemed to feel led to growth. I hope on my last day of life, I can say to myself "Ah good. I learned something new today".

Such an intriguing book, it served as inspiration for so many people in history. Both for good and for bad!

The second part was even better then the first! Congrats!

[AD-zuuc]

Great video! Very comprehensive! I think I actually might dare to start reading some of Nietzsche's work!

[xRubenMx]

I'm showing this one to my pupils!

[chimpanseke]

Interesting video! Would love to see more videos on Nietzsche

I read the book after watching the video. The fourth part is a mystery to me. Are you ever gonna make a video analyzing the fourth part?

[ABardamu]

This video might be better than Also Sprach Zarathustra itself!

I am not persuaded that eternal recurrence is a mere thought experiment. Nietzsche thought it an actual description of life. I think it is the key to reconciling predetermination with free will.

[TimothyKirkby]

I am currently reading this book. And it just confuses me. At some moments, it seems like I get something from it, but other times, it just seems empty and meaningless.

That's why I did a yt search to look for a video like this. Thank you for your simple yet in-depth explanation🙏

I will now continue to read this annoying work.😂🤷‍♂️

For something to be dead it must first be born… Ideas can be born and die…The unborn can’t die and is infinite.🎨

[tonyclifton]

resent is a verb, not a noun. do you mean "resentment"? ( from about 14min30 on)

[gabrielpadilla]

Life is a life sentence; can we love life?

[axewellll]

“idea” has to be pronounced “aye-dee-ah”, because if you pronounce it “aye-dee”, people think your talk about ID

Do we really need Beethoven, to distract us? 🙄
That was awful.

[sjoerd]

It is a desperate attempt to achieve the impossible. "God is dead" is followed by a futile attempt to be what he cannot be.

Already too hard to understand the first two parts, let alone the later edit(ed?) farts
