Nietzsche shortcuts

What was Nietzsche’s view on philosophy? Philosophy is for him the second half of the human lifetime. The first half was religion, and he sees the beginnings of religion just as the beginning of philosophy now, where philosophers are something very rare, so were once religious people. I can remember N saying that all metaphysics was invented out of disgust, and also that the Übermensch will rise out of disgust. He is constantly repeating that “we must wait for the moment of the Great disgust”, so, generally speaking philosophy is a continuation of the religious development. The beginning of this development could mean what Nietzsche called the Great noontide.

Everything that Vollgraff wrote in Anthropognosie, b) Vom Wahrheits-Gefühle und der darin wurzelnden oder darauf fussenden Philosophie §. 73-75., supports what Zarathustra was speaking to his pupils. It is a philosophical movement!

Now, Chaos, taken as represented by Vollgraff in his Anthropognosie, is definitely the condition of the universe before it has started to move. It is darkness, cold, heaviness, inertion, absentmindedness etc.

This alone explains why stars and light spring from chaos.

In Nietzsche’s Zarathustra under Chaos nothing else has been meant, except that somethin needs to return to its primary stage.

So, what is the primary stage that you carry in yourself? What is your inner chaos? Is that the ability to be wise, cold and philosophical?

[If I continue like this, which means approximately each month one explained sentence, then I will have in 40 years about 500 sentences. And for Nietzsche Zarathustra has been understood only if one has experienced every single sentence…]

As we see the freedom of will is interpreted as a moralic act. The self-earned money is the moral basis of every moral deed.
We know from earlier writings that a moral act is a voluntar deed, an act of will. Of course, it does not exclude other people.

There are so many places in TSZ which follow from this quote that I don’t intend to copy it here.


TSZ is a hymn to solitude. Also GM III.

[And there was a passage of N saying philosophers until now were lacking the historical sense]

On isolation, wilderness, strength (?) on the one side and herd, taming and sociability on the other. The herd instinct…

On the sacrifice of the individual to wellbeing of the herd:

Obviously nowadays there is a strong need among many individuals to live fully aside from the society and not on the top of a hierarchical one. Only a hierarchical society gives an opportunity to the rare ones to keep their individuality and culture and not to be sacrificed to the wellbeing of the egalitarian society. Thus, the only way out of the herd is into a new rank-ordered society. All those who accept the possibility of the Übermensch are welcome. God is an egalitarian.

Nietzsche exposes in his entire Ecce Homo, his attitude toward idealism.

The difference between arts and idealism is that idealists try to overthrow the nature while artists only expose the best examples of it. Perhaps like Borgia vs Spiderman…
Of course, not every art is an idea-art, there is a lot if idealistic art, including religion.
Plato is an idealist and Aristotle an idea-man.

Here is what entire google offers on “I hate idealism”:

I’m not mean or anything, but I HATE idealism and dunder-headed belief systems that inhibit people from reaching their goals. Often, the more painful the intervention, the larger the reward…

The ability to think critically. This is the reason why i hate idealism with a passion. You cannot criticize or analyze any idea with out being crucified by either side. Neither side finds any attraction of the idea of give and take. Selfish at its core. These two can only only see the differences in each other. If only they could realize they have more in common than they do in difference.

Why do I hate idealism? Somewhere deep inside me, the eccentric me just wants to question all these things around me…

I am a man of practicality,i hate idealism extremely.my motto of life is*EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD HAS SHADES OF GREY,THERE IS …

And that is why I hate idealism; its a completely unrealistic concept that just increase the speed of decadence.

Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs. –Farrah Gray (idealist … if you ask yourself why women like compliments … you are hired)
