I have an immense fondness for Nietzsche. His ideas and philosophy have always intrigued me deeply.

There isn't much I wouldn't give to have one conversation with him, were he still living. Just imagining the intellectual exchange that could take place is truly exciting.

He was a very fascinating mind, able to explore and question the fundamental aspects of human existence. His works are a treasure trove of profound insights and bold perspectives.

I loved this book. It provided me with a deeper understanding of Nietzsche's thoughts and his unique way of looking at the world.

It made me reflect on my own beliefs and values, and challenged me to think beyond the conventional.

Overall, my admiration for Nietzsche continues to grow, and I look forward to delving further into his works in the future.

So... God is dead,
any questions?

No, he never existed. He's just another chain or anchor that man has put on himself to limit his potential. It's yet another means of restricting personal freedom. Now that the Judeo-Christian moral code, and other similar moral codes, have been laid to rest, we can finally strive to achieve something significant with our lives.

Nietzsche claims that he is here to pave the way for the coming Ubermensch, much like how John the Baptist claimed to prepare the way for Christ. I guess this is the moment when you should go out and transform yourself into an Ubermensch.

It is to philosophy what sex and candy are to my senses. It has a profound and intoxicating allure that draws me in and makes me eager to explore its depths further.

Nietzsche is a truly strange thinker to approach.

To betray my Marxist leanings, I believe it is safe to assert that he was the philosopher for a class that scarcely exists and, as a result, had no future: the preeminent thinker for the lumpenaristocracy. This gives rise to many of his ideas being quasi-rightist, yet not reactionary or conservative. This ambiguity has led numerous people to attempt to claim Nietzsche as their precursor, but none can make this claim straightforwardly. There is no Nietzschean tradition; there is no thread to which he can be unreservedly attached. He is a free-floating influence, scattering his insights whichever way the winds seem to carry him. With no living tradition capable of laying an uncontested claim to his thinking, he belongs equally to all of us.

"Beyond Good & Evil" is a remarkable collection of insights, the enjoyment of which is only slightly marred by a series of questionable stylistic decisions. I understand the reasoning behind why these choices were made; however, I don't find it persuasive. Nevertheless, the insights on offer are of sufficient value to make the reading worthwhile. He is simultaneously a thinker with whom I find deep personal resonance, and yet someone who would undoubtedly have rejected my thinking in the strongest terms. This, however, is not a problem. It is the most natural and productive relationship anyone can have with him. And, if he were to disagree with how I utilize his thinking, I still suspect he would approve of my willingness to plunder his body of work for what I find useful while discarding the rest. That, above all else, appears to me to be the essence of Nietzschean thinking.
