Philosophy of Nietzsche

[intellectualammo]

I know a lot about Nietzsche because I studied him meticulously for over 20 years.

Good, and you also are familiar with Rand, what so you think of these two quotes of Rand on N. :

But, as a poet, he projects at times (not consistently) a magnificent feeling for man’s greatness, expressed in emotional, not intellectual, terms.

Nietzsche’s rebellion against altruism consisted of replacing the sacrifice of oneself to others by the sacrifice of others to oneself. He proclaimed that the ideal man is moved, not by reason, but by his “blood,” by his innate instincts, feelings and will to power—that he is predestined by birth to rule others and sacrifice them to himself, while they are predestined by birth to be his victims and slaves—that reason, logic, principles are futile and debilitating, that morality is useless, that the “superman” is “beyond good and evil,” that he is a “beast of prey” whose ultimate standard is nothing but his own whim.

That's probably taken out of context. But maybe history shows such to be precisely the case in most instances of war, which in the proper context can only lead to work for having good laws rather than the circular ruins of the human/inhuman buffoonery, so abundant. We'll see what happens regarding these issues. Personation by Ayn Rand is obsolete. Not to speak of Aristotality and Platonality.

Plato split the world in two, while his student Aristotle kept it whole, thisworldly ONLY.




and Ayn Rand's Objectivism, the philosophy for living in thisworld.

Yes, with water, air, fire and earth, 47 or 51 motors and aither, in the spontaneous creation of flies. The only one who did better was Turberville Needham when he actually found proof.

Hi there.
What's the gist of the philosophy of Nietzsche?
How he sees the world? I mean what's his point of view on life?
What kind of human he suggests?
What he means by " Will" ?

Nietzsche's philosophy is an act of nobility in the face of the inhuman. He sees the world as cruel and necessary. He suggests a hero, an ideal. He then dies.

[G L Wilson]

I just want to be human.

Actually the problem here is that Nietzsche was not a philosopher. Actually the fall of philosophy was recognized and promoted throughout his writings. Things like Philosophizing with a Hammer were some of the greatest satires ever written.

I have heard Nietzsche being called a lot of things but he has never been called funny.
