Four Common Misconceptions about Nietzsche

Hello and good morning, it’s me Julian. Today I thought we should take a break and instead focus on Deleuze’s wonderful essay on Nietzsche in which he articulates four common misconceptions. I also try to provide a short introduction to Nietzsche’s philosophy and add 2 more misconceptions.

Thank you for watching, and if you’d like to help me keep making these videos please consider becoming a patron. Thank you!

Julian

One of your best videos yet, I won't lie that "Strength is the ability to exhibit weakness": hit me like a truck. I'm very excited for your Delueze & Nietsche detour.

Finally Deleuze!! ❤ Please do one video on why Zizek tells Deleuzian Rhyzomatic analysis is not opposed to Hegelian dialectics.

[romankonecny]

Awesome vid as always, was entertained by sudden 4:48 mouth slip where you almost said Zizek instead of Nietche :D Force of habit huh

[DanKoiti]

Thank you for this video Julian, and happy Mother’s Day!

[Peanut-jyhd]

Kudos to you Julian, brilliant summary yet again. You really have a godly gift for compressing such complex ideas!

[mephesh]

Every thing you do Julian is great, waiting on every video

There's a contralecture of Nietzsche's fascism in Georg Lukács's The Destruction of Reason. Its very interesting.

Deleuze and Guattari declare Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morals "the great book of modern ethnology" for its success interpreting primitive economy in terms of debt and debtor-creditor relationships, and doing so without consideration of exchange or interest or placing them in structure. Then they write: "Man must constitute himself through the repression of the intense germinal influx, the great biocosmic memory that threatens to deluge every attempt at collectivity. ... All the stupidity and the arbitrariness of the laws, all the pain of the initiations, the whole perverse apparatus of repression and education, the red-hot irons, and the atrocious procedures have only this means: to breed man, to mark him in his flesh, to render him capable of alliance, to form him within the debtor-creditor relation, which on both sides turns out to be a matter of memory -- a memory straining toward the future." (Anti-Oedipus, 1972)

thank you for this video great analysis

[markoslavicek]

I believe I speak on behalf of everyone here if I say that we'd love to see Zizek in comparison to Nietzsche video.

Again some nietzsche. Yes. Thank you Mr. Medeiros

[ronjames]

Is it correct to say that Nietzsche’s philosophy is mapping onto the anarchist project? (The emancipatory one, not the anarcho-capitalist bastardization)

[mephesh]

I understood most of the topics but I didnt really understand the part about the child, thank you for explaining, Im past my lion stage and its ok to have a playful nature as child without all the battle and confrontation.

Present!

Thanks again and again for this, Prof. Julian!

Looking forward for more Lacan and Nietzsche's contents. 😊

I've read a lot of early Marx and Nietzsche and I see a great similarity in their work, I wonder if it has something to do with their brief dalliances with the pre-Socratics, specifically Democritus and Heraclitus.

[BlackMantisRed]

I don’t think Nietzsches goal was to emancipate ourselves from values but to create our own values to be our own self legislators. The child is not just a destroyer but a creator after all.

[mofuker]

Julian can you please review Baby Reideer? I feel so uneasy because of the fact that the main character plays himself. It feels wrong yet I can't grasp why.

[uncommonsensewithpastormar]

Sorry, but I’m not buying the Deleuzian reinterpretation of Nietzsche. For example, Deleuze wants to make Nietzsche’s concept of the “eternal return” far more complicated than what it actually is. It is simply a thought experiment where you become so life affirming that you would live your life together with all of its disappointments and suffering over and over again if given a choice.

[SunAndMoon-zcvd]

Is the reason why so many misunderstand Nietzsche's eternal recurrence that they haven't read the book? Since I read the book I see it as a clear thought experiment: it is a test of if you are living your life in the manner you want/should. The thought experiment is introduced as such: "What if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness, and say to you..." (The Gay Science).

I.e., the main point: you should lead a life that you would be willing to repeat eternally.

[Jesse-eyxd]

Well shoot. That's everything I thought I knew 🤦😂🖖
