Representaion Conducive To Books The Gay Science

If you read Nietzsche while not in the midst of some variety of emo existential crisis, Nietzsche is hilarious and insightful. If, however, you choose to read Nietzsche in high school in order to be counter-culture, odds are good Nietzsche will temporarily turn you into a horrible, pompous ass. Nietzsche is the first philosopher I ever read; I stole The Gay Science from my cousin's book shelf when I was nine because I wanted to read "what smart people read." Ever since then, Nietzsche and I have had a love affair; the problem is that I cannot stand his fans.

I imagine this review will not be useful to most people, but if you've encountered the Nietzsche-bots, you know exactly what I am talking about.

Commentary Epithetical Books The Gay Science

The Joyful Wisdom or the Gay Science, is to me, a bit different from the other Nietzsche books I've read. The general philosophies of the writer are present yet the volume creates in the reader a sense of power, fulfilment, achievement... Upon all he postulates are reasons to overcome such and conquer.Here he also presents his philosophy, 'God is Dead', as stated in section 108:After Buddha was dead, peopleshowed his shadow for centuries afterwards in acave,an immense frightful shadow. God is

It's nice to catch Nietzsche in a good mood. Although this is critical period Neet, it's certainly transitional, he's palpably getting inspired towards Zarathustra, both in the open question of where critical philosophy leads to, and in his infectious style. I should say this is a scattered collection of various thoughts rather than having a singular focus, which I suppose goes with his theme of joining a wild chaotic dance which incorporates its stumbles, but it still helps to read this

I think I've brought up this book to every one of my friends and colleagues over the past 2 months as I've read it. So much resonated so deeply, it seems daunting to even know where to begin. First, I particularly liked this translation and did have the chance to juxtapose it with other translations and often appreciated the lyricism and beauty of the prose in my copy. The entire arc, experience is so rich -- if you're considering an abridged version or this, I would strongly consider the full.

The Gay Science § 369:Consider a continually creative person, a mother type in the grand sense, one who knows and hears nothing any more except about the pregnancies and deliveries of his spirit, one who simply lacks the time to reflect on himself and his work and to make comparisons, one who no longer has any desire to assert his taste and who simply forgets it, without caring in the least whether it still stands, or lies, or falls such a person might perhaps eventually produce works that far

Epic Nietzsche. My favorite Nietzsche text (and Nietzsche is my most favorite thinking creature of all time, so this means a lot) - somehow managing to be provocative, meditative, accessible, and entertaining in one stroke! One of those rare books that you can actually pick up, flip to any page, and read, without wondering all that much about what came before. I utilized many ideas presented in this book as jumping off points in my master's thesis, and were it not for the constrictions of time,

Another great read from one of the most mischaracterized thinkers I know. This one is notable for how many key, famous concepts of his it lays out: eternal recurrence, amor fati, God is dead, etc. But again, the greatest delight in reading Nietzsche is that his strengths as a wrecking ball are surpassed by his full throated affirmation of life. His is not a gloomy philosophy, although it certainly would look that way to someone clinging on to the traditions he attacks with such mischievous vigor

The Will to TruthThe will to truth is more than, I will not allow myself to be deceived, it must be I will not deceive, not even myself. Thus we have reached the realm of morality.Here, the truth is willed into existence as a stream of consciousness, unsullied by any editor or second thought. One chapter amounts to a Happy New Year greeting from Genoa. Sometimes the chapters trail off into [I guess he went out to think in the open air. Whatever, publish it anyway.] Maybe it is best read the
