I have, some. Nietzsche is Pietzsche, but I don't quite buy into most of his stuff.

Long time since I've read any, but (iirc) it's a pretty wothwhile read in context. Shame his stuff has been tainted by fuckwits dragging bits out of context to try to dignify fascist nonsense really.

The trouble with Nietzsche philosophy is there's a big school of thought that a good portion of it was written by his sister during his massive decline. He was suffering from syphilis which will effect the mind.

I studied Nietzsche, deeply in college and found some of his thoughts to be amazing and some of it to be extremely backwards. let's remember: he coined the term: "Übermench".

That said, one of my favorite quotes by anyone is a Nietzsche quote:

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."

Pretty deep.

It is a great one.

Another I like, "When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you." So many applications in so many areas of life.

After discovering him a year ago I was amazed to find one articulating so well a deeper understanding of knowledge, spiritualism.

I doubt seriously, his sister wrote them.

In 1947 the idea he had syphilis came about in an effort to further disgrace the germans, but was discredited in the Journal of Medical Biography 2003, and another study, after a review of the medical records. If he died from syphilis he lived six years longer, and had none of the symptoms of those afflicted.

Regarding the, overman, superman (Übermench) philosophers seldom consider he had read the bible and his speech of Übermench agrees with that of Tanach, as well as much native American understanding. "Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman--a rope over an abyss..What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end: what can be loved in man is that he is an overture and a going under..."

His discussion of the overman coincides with indigenous philosophy of mans' nature; two wolves, the bad being the beast, the good one being overman, while we ourselves are stuck in the middle until we make the choose; and Martin Heidegger's, "In one's concern with what one has taken hold of, whether with, for, or against, the Other, there is constant care as to the way one differs from them, whether that difference is merely one that is to be evened out, whether one's own Dasein has lagged behind the Others and wants to catch up in relationship to them, or whether one's Dasein already has some priority over them and sets out to keep them suppressed. The care about this distance between them is disturbing to Bing-with-one-another, though this disturbance is one that is hidden from it."
