  8. Nietzsche’s Philosophy

  9. Art as a form of monument Reverence of the past Rationality and logic Order Art as an experience Focus on the present Emotion Chaos and freedom Apollo vs. Dionysus

  10. Focus on the individual Strength Willpower Concern for others only where it is self-serving Morality of the strong Focus on the group Generosity Pity Concern for others is of prime importance Morality of those unable to defend themselves against the strong Master vs. SlaveMorality

  11. God is a thought who makes crooked all that is straight. Religion and Faith Faith: not wanting to know what is true. Is man one of God's blunders? Or is God one of man's blunders? Do you want to strive for peace of mind and happiness? Then believe. Do you want to be a devotee of truth? Then seek. A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything. There is not enough love and goodness in the world to permit giving any of it away to imaginary beings.

  12. Only real Christian that ever existed. Nietzsche’s Problems with Christianity • Dismissal of life as “No Good” • Idea of Original Sin • Idealization of Slave Morality • Emphasizes and encourages weakness • Christian God is no longer believable

  13. Only the weak require slave morality such as Christianity offers! Master morality is for the strong! Man should aspire to be the Übermensch! The sick are best qualified to judge the healthy!

  14. Ad Hominem Attacks Socrates was wrong, plus he was ugly! Hegel was wrong, plus he was an idiot! Schopenhauer was wrong, plus he was a coward! A philosopher should be the embodiment of his philosophy! Wagner’s music is bad, plus he’s a jerk!

  15. Justifying Contradictions It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them! There are no facts, only interpretations. The irrationality of a thing is no argument against its existence, rather a condition of it. There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.

  16. Miscellaneous Nietzsche • Amor Fati • Eternal Recurrance • Perspectivism • Moral Psychology

  17. Understanding Nietzsche Nietzsche wanted us: Not to understand… …but to react. Philosophers of the Future!
