The Life Of Friedrich Nietzsche

Показать описание

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

Be careful of taking advice from a philosopher who ended up insane.

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.

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

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.

This video was beautifully crafted. Great work.

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."

Zarathustra is certainly his magnum opus. It’s filled with genius existential insight.

You could see in his pre-madness writings something of the lunacy that led to his final madness.

Does anyone know of more video biographies of Nietzche? Can’t seem to find for some reason

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 ;)
