Greatest Philosophers In History | Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher of the 19th century. He is regarded as one of the most revolutionary thinkers in Western philosophy and intellectual history. He was a cultural critic of his era, of traditional European morality and religious fundamentalism, especially of Christianity.

Nietzsche shares his views on how he wants us to perceive the world liberating ourselves from oppressive tradition. The main concepts revolve around self-overcoming, amor fati, perspectivism, human nobility, the will to power, the eternal recurrence, and the overman.

"I am no man. I am dynamite". So powerful, got chills hearing that.

[rudraksh]

Instead of sugar coating the Value of Truth, he takes it apart like a true gamer. Respect for this Gladiator of thought.

[akshitsharma]

"His works were not for general public but only for intellectuals" - now that's something that defines this YouTube channel.

Nietzsche isn't dead yet, once have someone to remember his existence, he cannot cease to exist

[eirikmurito]

Western philosophy is so awesome. Straight to the meat and potatoes. No cope, no fanfiction, no distractions

[aakkoin]

A scientific article said that people think more clearly and creatively when they are walking/moving, not just sitting down. And Nietzsche used to hike in nature and roam in the city, and I read that he even said something like "No great idea has ever been thought while sitting down." paraphrased.. That idea stuck with me for some reason.

This is the best overall summary of Nietzsche I have seen on YouTube. I have listened to a lot. Most of them focus on Zarathustra and/or the first of the three essays in Genealogy. That's great stuff, but there is a lot more great stuff. One thing you omit is that his philological/linguistic contribution, especially in "On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense, " which prefigured Cognitive Science by about a century. I can forgive that omission, especially as none of the Cognitive Scientists seem to be aware of it. I'd also like to suggest that Übermensch is more properly translated as "beyond human." "Beyond" comes closer to what he meant than "over" and "super." It is the idea of having perilously crossed over the unstable bridge of humanity. I can't figure out a good way of making an English noun out of that, though.

Coming back to your channel is always uplifting.

My very favourite philosopher this time. Will watch again.

Thank you.

'He expected them to hate him." Something I did not expect, but now understand.

[Davlavi]

This channel deserves way more views. Keep up the great videos.

[aaronsmith]

I think it has to do with consciousnesses. Some people reach such high states of consciousness that they feel drawn to solitude for a type of clarity because they see the fog of society as a play or even a mental trance that everyone gets caught up in.

Fredrick was describing me, the ONLY 1 Ubermensch.

11:22 Nietzsche’s critique of nihilism feels more relevant than ever today. Finding meaning in a world without absolutes is a lesson we all need.

[RyanRooprai-di]

The one quote that really resonates with me is the monsters quote. He said, and I quote: "He who fights monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

It was mentioned on page 102 on Beyond Good and Evil.

[lucky]

literally an hour ago, I scribbled on my copy of 'Man's search for meaning'.."What gives values their value?" and i have also written a note titled "Humanity is in the stage of infancy".. So thankful for this video. Now i know who to read next!!

[lynxclangaming]

I love the visuals and audio, this is some really good work and probably took a lot of hard work.

[JuanJuan-yvoc]

Well done! What a profound and amazingly produced video! Such an organic mixture of images, music and content. I am very glad having discovered this channel and eager to explore it further. One questions: do you credit the paintings as well? I'd like to look further into some them regarding the artist, the background and so. Thx

[omgomg]

I never ever comment but these are amazing, please post more ❤️❤️

Halfway through I remembered watching your video of Jordan Peterson on Nietzsche, and I was like I knew this guy sounded familiar. Awesome video, these types of videos are always super interesting to me. I liked The Overman part where man is like the tightrope between the beast and the Overman. Again awesome video!!
