Topic: Nietzsche

I've had a fascination with Friedrich Nietzsche lately, and I've been reading as many bios and watching as many documentaries as I can about him. I think he was a brilliant philosopher, although I haven't read any of his works yet.

So has anyone on the board read anything by Friendrich Nietzsche?

I've read his stuff back in 2005 and he's very interesting to say the least

Re: Nietzsche

I've dabbled.
His 'Beyond Good And Evil' I found particularly interesting

Wasn’t it his dyslexic brother Bob Nietzsche that said “Dog is dead” ?

Nietzche's a buzz-kill.  If I wanted nihilism I'd get back together with my kid's mom.

Re: Nietzsche

He wrote some pretty good stuff. Thus Spake Zarathustra is meant to be philosophy but it reads like fiction. It helps to read and re-read him though. I've caught things I missed the first time 'round.

I'm hoping to find & pick up 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' at the library in a couple weeks or so.
