Why affirmation over negation? Why action over reaction? Why health over sickness?
Because of the new morality. That of Good and Bad replacing Good and Evil
Wrong. The affirmation of active forces is manifested in one sense as the new morality. This is not an answer to “why”.
What!? No one can answer such a simple and basic question? Not even the one who has the entire works of Nietzsche in German?
…
What’s your point? Why not be a miserable nothingness. It’s a basic question, a serious student of Nietzsche should be able to answer it without a seconds hesitation.

Want to try rephrasing this so that the English speaking world can understand it?
Or better yet, instead of a one line vague phrase, you should relate Nietzsche’s ideas and concepts in a cogent way. Or should I start calling you Ape.
It would be nihilistic for Cezar to explain his great points to a nihilist like you.
Heh, by “his” I hope you mean Nietzsche’s. Is it too much to ask, for someone that proclaims to have an understanding of Nietzsche, to answer such a simple question. My suspicion is that he doesn’t know the answer, and he’s like thousands of others who misrepresent Nietzsche’s philosophy with every word he types about the philosophy.

Edit: Btw, I was applauding Nihilistic, not this thread.
I particularly agree with the latter section of this post, say from “crazy through to alcohol”. These are the latest narcotics for the herd. Soon their slave revolt may wipe out any trace of ‘higher men’, or for any soil to be prepared the ‘higher men’ to grow from. Today, decadence reigns supreme.

The “higher man” too must be overcome. The higher man is still reactive, he has not yet achieved a transmutation of values, for him the will to power is still understood through reactive forces. Perhaps you meant “overman”.
Knowledge does not overcome for Nietzsche, as all concepts hitherto are reactive. What is the use of knowing and affirming life, when life is known through reaction. “Being” “reality”, and “existence”,for Nietzsche, are not truth, they are the last avatars of reaction, they are the “yea” of the ass. One does not overcome simply by saying “yes”, simply by accepting the burden of the ass, even the lion who wills his self-destruction understands that everything known is reactive.
How soon you forget, that for Nietzsche, their is only interpretation…meaning their is only perspective…meaning what one holds dear is a symptom of the forces acting/reacting within the person. And for man, the perspective is always that of reaction.
Why do you all think Nietzsche is so important? I’m just asking this because I’ve seen sooooo many people debate Nietzsche, and nobody debate, say, Descartes, or, say, Hegel. Just curious.
