"God is dead." -- Nietzsche.

"Nietzsche is dead." -- God.

Haha. Friedrich's a complex guy. His "superman" is often misinterpreted. I'm not even sure myself I fully understand it. Sometimes, though, the guy just sounds cranky like he didn't get laid enough (which he didn't, he was unlucky in love).

This is the guy you never heard of? Means you've never listened to Joss's Objects in Space commentary, to which I say: GOOD JOB, CANA!!

I got the same result for my LJ, which I why I'm sticking with Oscar Wilde on the other blog!

I'm with ccjohn: Nietzsche is a compelling figure, although I'm almost certain that I don't fully understand what he was hitting at. Probably because my brain (unlike Nietzsche's) is not dissolving in my head (producing pronounced dementia) from injury and illness suffered during the Franco-Prussian War. His concept of the Classical notion of excellence (arete, in Greek, virtus, in Latin), ie, the notions of strength and nobility becoming the medieval Christian notion of "evil," and the concept of the Classical notion of "weakness" becoming the mC notion of "good." I actually wrote a paper on all this a couple of years ago, which you can read if you like.

Anyway, odd as he was, and as much mischief has been (erroneously or not) attributed to this writing, the writing itself is explosive and exciting, much more poetic than philosophy, even (especially!) the philosophy of aesthetics and culture usually is. Hum. Now I need to go back and read Beyond Good and Evil and Ecce Humanum, again.
