I have another of his books and I will have to really motivate myself to read it. Based on your reviews he seems to say the same thing over and over again. Have you read that he purposely infected himself with syphillus? How's that for an ubermann?Sharon Wilfonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466621290140789056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-30740871733638658232015-08-10T13:06:45.033-07:002015-08-10T13:06:45.033-07:00A really great review, Sharon, and so interesting,...A really great review, Sharon, and so interesting, since I just finished Ecce Homo. Not only is Nietzsche arrogant, and he doesn't explain his thought process, he often contradicts himself. And yes, everything is true because he says so, and if you don't believe him you are worse than the garbage stuck to the bottom of his shoe. I'm trying to feel sorry for him, I really am, but he can be so irritating. In any case, I'd like to read one more of his works, but probably not for a loooong time.Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-86029900777599792542014-09-23T07:50:28.092-07:002014-09-23T07:50:28.092-07:00Hi Brian!

I also want to read some Kant. I read Descartes years ago so I need to read him again. <br />I think that Nietzsche, like many others, did not live to see the direction their philosophies took and might be surprised, if not horrified, how others interpreted them.<br />I'm glad to know that Nietzsche was against anti-semitism. I read a good book about Germany prior to Hitler's regime. It was sad how integrated Jews and Gentiles were integrated in each other's lives before Nazism swept through the country. Take care!Sharon Wilfonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466621290140789056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-88307809187048759162014-09-23T03:00:50.716-07:002014-09-23T03:00:50.716-07:00Great commentary Sharon.

Though a very important thinker who did have important insights, in terms of influence I find his view on morality and human behavior diametrically opposed to mine. I too am sometimes dismayed by those who extoll his ideas.<br /><br />Though they embraced his philosophy and paralleled some aspects of it, in all fairness he really would not have supported NAZIism. There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is that, to his credit, he railed against anti - semitism. Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
