Good beginning to the life of Nietzsche. When i was younger I was fearful of the little that i read of N. Afraid that his nihilism would push me toward an edge that i found already too close-that was my own depression. Having suvived my youth i am ready to explore the ideas that were too dangerous earlier. BlogOn!
I am in your same boat here Anita! The more I learn about Nietzsche the man, the easier it is for me to negotiate the depressing vibe. I think there are a lot of very positive, useful things to bring out of his philosophy, and in a way, his nihilism can be put to use. Hopefully I'll be able to show this in the podcasts. Thanks for your encouragement Anita!
Todd, I spent Monday listening to your Nietzsche podcasts – very captivation and enjoyable. Thank you for those. I somehow came to feel that, despite the incredible hardships he endured, Nietzsche maintained some playful adolescence within him at times. There might be something slightly whimsical about proposing marriage and happily being rebuffed, dancing and the love of animals. At the end of the podcast I pondered the validity and extensiveness of this line of thinking, so I had to inquire further. If a man so tortured had maintained something youthful, something adolescent or even innocent, then that would be incredible I thought. Thanks again for sharing.
