PHILOSOPHY – Nietzsche


Difficulty begins with the pronunciation of his name
The first pronunciation should sound like “Knee (ni)”, second like “cha (qa)”
Knee (ni) – cha (qa)
Then we have to go through some of his remarkable sayings:
“What does not kill me make me stronger”.
“The Lord is dead, and we have killed him.”
And his big mustache
But when we do, we will discover a pleasant, clever thinker and
very useful
Friedrich Nietzsche was born in 1844 in a quiet village in the eastern part of Germany
where his father was also a priest.
He was remarkably good at school and at university and was distinguished
especially in the case of ancient Greece, in which he also became professors
at the University of Basel,
when she was only 25 years old.
But his career did not work well. He soon became bothered by his academic colleagues,
resigned from his job and moved to Sils Maria in the Swiss Alps
where he lived a quiet life, working on his masterpieces,
among them:
The Birth of the Tragedy, Human Too Human
So spoke Zarathustra
Beyond good and evil,
He had many problems: – he did not go well with his family:
“I do not like my mother and it’s very frustrating for me to just listen to my sister’s voice.”
– women continued to reject it. His books were not sold
– and when he was only 44 years old, he suffered mental disorder, which accelerated when he saw it
a man whipping his horse.
Nietzsche ran by dividing the horse and calling “I understand.” He was never cured and
died 11 years later.
But his philosophy was full of herion and dignity.
He was a prophet of what he called: SELBSTÜBERWINDUNG
or self-overcoming, the process through which a soul-great soul
or as Nietzsche called it
EXAMINED, he stands up over his circumstances and his difficulties to embrace
everything that life throws to him.
He wanted his works to teach us what he called “how to become who we really are?”
His thoughts focused on four main recommendations:
Accept jealousy
Jealousy is an important part of life. So far the persistent effects of
Christianity in general teach us to feel ashamed
from our envious feelings. They are seen as well
the signs of the devil. So we hide them from ourselves and from others.
However, there is nothing wrong with jealousy, says Nietzsche, as long as we use it as a guide
to what we really want. Everyone who makes us jealous should see it as a sign
of what we may become one day.
It is not that Nietzsche believed that we could end up with what we always wanted. His life
I learned this very well. He simply insisted that we should face our true desires,
to make a heroic war to honor them, and only after that we will be saddened by the failure of solemn dignity.
This is what should be an ÜBERMENSCH (superhero).
Do not become a Christian.
Nietzsche had some extreme things to say about Christianity
“Throughout the New Testament,
it was only a person who was worthy of respect: Pilate, the Roman governor. “
Nietzsche’s real purpose was more subtle and much more interesting: he was a fool
Christianity because of the protection from their jealousy that they did to people.
Christianity, in the explanations of Nietzsche, has appeared at the end of the Roman Empire
in the minds of shy slaves, who needed stomach
to keep what they really wanted
and so they were caught behind a philosophy that made a virtue of their weakness.
Nietzsche called this SKLAVENMORAL.
Christians – whom he bitterly called DIE HEERDE (drove) – would like to
tasted the true ingredients of spiritual fulfillment (an important position, sex,
intellectual mastery, creativity).
but were very incapable of achieving it.
Consequently, they had created a slim belief denouncing what
really wanted but who were too weak to fight for it,
while praising what they really did not want but that was.
Thus, the system of Christian values, asexuality
turned into purity, weakness became kindness, submission to people who hate
became obedient, and the inability to retaliate became transformed
in forgiveness
Christianity was a giant machine of denial.
Never drink alcohol
Nietzsche only consumed water – and milk in special cases, milk. And he thought
that even others should do the same. He was not doing this for
reasons for any odd diets. The idea came to the heart of his philosophy, getting involved
in his statement: “There are two major narcotics in European civilization:
Christianity and alcohol “.
He hated alcohol for the same reason he despised Christendom: both
cause pain, and both make sure things are okay as they are, and so they weaken us
the will to change our lives for the better. Some alcohol cups send us to the temporary feeling of
fulfillment, which may be fatal for the road to taking the necessary steps to
improving our lives.
Nietzsche was obsessed with the grave truth that achieving real values ​​hurts.
“How little do you know about human happiness – you comfortable people,” he wrote
“The secret of a fulfilled life is:
live dangerous! Build your cities on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius! “
“God Has Been Dead”
Nietzsche’s dramatic assertion that God has died is not, as is often thought,
any kind of festive statement.
Despite his reservation of Christianity, Nietzsche did not think the end of the faith
it was something to be excited about.
He knew that religious beliefs were false, but he noticed that they were very useful
in the sense of the help they give us to face the problems of life.
Nietzsche felt that the gap created by religion must be met by Culture
(philosophy, art, music, literature): culture must replace the scriptures.
However, Nietzsche deeply doubted how culture was being treated in his time.
He believed that the Universities were killing humanities,
turning them into dry exercises,
rather than using them for what they are determined to be:
Guide to life. He appreciated it
the way the Greeks practically used the tragic drama, a therapeutic way,
as an event for moral education – and wished his era to be ambitious as well
comparable.
He called for reform, through which people – just aware of the crisis that brought him
the end of faith – will fulfill the gaps created by the disappearance of religion
with philosophy and art.
Each era faces specific psychological challenges, Nieton thought, and it is a duty
of philosophers to identify and assist in solving them.
For Niche, the 19th century was influenced by two developments:
Massive Democracy
and atheism. First
threatened to unravel the rivers of undignified jealousy; The second
to leave people without guidance or morality.
With regard to these two challenges, Nietzsche remains a fascinating, loving guide
and mustache.
