Just become who you are

Just enjoy my shitty philosophy because it sounds really romantic and mind-blowing

his philosophy isn't shitty. he predicted that the western world would explode into terrific warfare and it did. he was the one who really seized upon and grappled with the problem of nihilism creeping through the western world. he is regarded by virtually as 100% of scholars on the subject as being completely brilliant.

but, i would love to hear your detailed criticism of nieztche with specifics about how you disagree with him and why. without that, it just sounds like you're a careless shitposter who has not read or cared much about philosophy at all, and probably has read little or no nieztche.

'a man has achieved maturity when he can approach his adult life with the same seriousness which he approached play as a child.'

i assert that you can not be said to understand nieztche at all if you haven't read his conclusions in his magnus opus, 'The Will To Power'. everything prior to that was rumination, his thoughts as journey to a conclusion, valuable as insight into the work that went into it, but not the final statement of nieztches investigations.

What are some other good math based philosophers?

Just forget it.

that was a shitpost, I never read Nietzsche and probably never will because it requires a reading & understanding of all of The Bible, Kant, Plato and probably Leibniz, which is hardy possible without an academic formation. No need to be mad m8, we're on an anime imageboard

I think the way he uses aphorisms to share his philosophy is kind of dangerous tho. He brainwashes teenager because he makes himself difficult to understand, all on purpose. I dislike this. But maybe your full reading of Nietzsche could help me understand his method.

Bro you do -not- need to understand read Kant or Leobnitz to get value from Neizsche.

You badly fell for the meme

well ok. i'm not mad, i just consider it duty to make good posts if one has the ability to do, because my philosophy guru taught me "if you're not here to help, why are you here'.

i don't think you really need to have a comprehensive education in the history of philosophy and more in order to read nieztche. he doesn't speak in highly technical language and honestly, yes, reading the bible and reading plato will increase what you get out of nieztche, but so will almost anything to some extent. you can always remember what you read and then relate that to the bible the next time you read it, just as easily as you can read the bible and then relate that to nieztche.

>I think the way he uses aphorisms to share his philosophy is kind of dangerous tho. He brainwashes teenager because he makes himself difficult to understand, all on purpose.

i actually think that his style of philosophizing is far superior to the old standard 'philosophese' that you literally CAN'T pick up and understand without preparatory study. because aphorism, illustration, and just plain talk are natural modes of communication. anyone who uses the verbosity and patterns of ancient philosophy in anything except a study of ancient philosophy today is probably a pretender. in this, nietzche merely demonstrates that he is dead serious about philosophy. he was dead serious, extremely good at it, and this is why he did not attempt to continue a tradition, but to make a sharp break from it. he's not famous for nothing.

he enjoys poetic wit and pithy statements. and he's speaking profoundly when he uses them. yes, people tend to run with that, for example, "god is dead" is always quoted as if he was gloating, when he actually said, "god is dead, and we have killed him. and where will we find enough water to wash away all the blood?". quite a different story. this is a sentiment almost impossible to express in the language that a thomas or plotinus or wittgenstein etc would use. he speaks about things that MATTER very much. he does not perform lofty metaphysical investigation into being and substance and efficient causes and so forth, he considered such, which is for many philosophers their bread and butter, to be asinine frippery.

teenagers are liable to get brainwashed by just about anything. especially anything that is powerful. nieztche wrote some powerful stuff, but that doesn't mean power is bad. i'm not too worried about the teens, it's few that are sensitive and intellectual enough to be seriously taken with nieztche, and they're smart enough to get over it eventually probably.

i'm not some big nieztcheist. i just recognize that he's significant and value many of his ideas and perspectives.

thanks for that long answer, I take it into consideration. I'll be honest, I don't think I'll really like Nietzsche (I'm a christian), but maybe I'll read it sometime, who knows.
