Zarathustra in the barrel! A settlement's 100th Death of Friedrich Nietzsche (Sept. 2000)
Is not it terrible, this adolescent posturing aspiring supermen and their enthusiastic disciples? Unfortunately succumb to (the child in the man in the polemicist) almost invariably in the same raspy-uncouth sound when the cult book of the grave protect students from Langemarck only tackles. Well - Become who you are, and give the antidote!
Can Nietzsche be reduced to Zarathustrabuch? Yes, this can be, for it is his only bestseller. The central idea of his later work "Beyond Good and Evil" and "On the Genealogy of Morals, he has the" Zarathustra "popular-conscious literary compressed and anticipated. When I examine the phenomenon of Nietzsche as a historian, I mean mainly the influence of the man and his work have made to the story - and is probably 80-90% to his only bestseller.
(Preface, Jan. 2007)
He was a megalomaniac and egomaniac knew his hubris from the start no limits. Even at 15 he wrote rather live autobiographies * as the first place. wants to "My fate that I must be the first decent man" in the fall of 1888 he wrote then things like. "I have with it [my work] of humanity made the greatest gift that has been done before her." * In January 1889 he wrote to Jacob Burckhardt, although he would really rather be a professor in Basel as God, but more could be petty selfishness of the re-creation of the world does not stand in the way. This letter was the reason that Friedrich Nietzsche was admitted to the psychiatric ward. But I do not like it if someone even said the only decent people, the largest benefactor of mankind. admire the fact that the philosopher Nietzsche to date for his megalomania, I can only explain the fact that they themselves like to be as megalomaniac would or would have had. This could be the reason that makes me so suspicious of the philosophers.
He has himself declared with great excitement to the Prophet and then also made a mistake. What I tell the story of the next two centuries, he has written somewhere *, and then announced the "advent of nihilism." But I believe that no one can know what will happen in 200 years, and that all the prophecies of this kind are wrong, as Nietzsche was. For where his nihilism is gone? We now hope to live in an age in which people believe almost anything, nothing more, nothing more and nothing hate love? It seems to me it is not so. Some believe in Nietzsche, many on the market, the fact that free world trade and capitalist competition will solve all the problems of mankind. Some hope that genetic engineering will overcome aging and death. Leonardo and Kate loving each other on the Titanic, and millions groan with them. Albanians hate Serbs and Albanians hate Serbs. It is therefore believed, hoped, loved and hated as ever. Do we live in a time without values? I see millions of people who believe in the value of their shares, houses, cars. Are we living in a hostile time? I see a fun society that loves life, so long as it's fun. There is no nihilism, and I do not like false prophets.
This too has
he predicted: It is no longer rich and poor: both are too burdensome. Who will rule? Those who obey to? Both are too burdensome. No shepherd and one herd! Everyone wants the same thing, everyone is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into the madhouse. (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Zarathustra's preface, 5.) - In reality, the differences between rich and poor is never greater than today. In fact, according to Nietzsche, the time came the world wars and dictatorships: There was commanded and obey like never before. In reality, nearly all are proud that they are different than the others and all others want. Nietzsche was wrong, and I do not like false prophets.
He hath declared dead, to be able to implement himself to his duties. But I insist that God is either immortal or never existed, in both cases, it can not be dead.
He was not the master of language, is than he sells us, because he has chosen oblique parables and pictures. About Zarathustra, he wrote, ... he wanted to find out what had now happened with the man, if he had become larger or smaller. And once he saw a row of new houses, so he was surprised and said, "What do these houses? (...) And these rooms and chambers, can ? As men go out and "(...) At last he said sorrowfully:" It's all become smaller, " - In reality, people always! (Thus Spake Zarathustra, Part Three of the diminishing virtue, 1..) larger. When men were in caves and were received, they were much smaller than in Nietzsche's time, and today they are even greater. The houses are getting bigger. - Round, fair, and considerate they are to each other, like grains of sand are round, fair, and considerate to grains of sand. (From the diminishing virtue, 2) - In reality, however, are grains of sand instead of round, pointed and angular. In this sense, is out the opposite of what Nietzsche would say with the comparison. I consider: crooked images are usually inclined to think. Who is able to formulate coherent thoughts is also able to find harmonious images of this.
he has against the "little people rushed," the "many-to-many", the "superfluous" the "last man": you have left the regions where it was hard to live for they need warmth. (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Zarathustra's preface, 5.) - But even he needed them to heat, and moved in spite of his penchant for fatal hammer not to Hammerfest, but in the warmer Italy. But I do not like it when someone is despicable behavior on others and then expresses itself does the same.
He rushed against us you basically want a einfältiglich at most, that they do no harm. (..) But this is cowardice, whether it is already "virtue". (...) Virtue to them is what makes modest and tame: so they made the wolf to the dog and the people own pets to the best of our people. (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Third Part of the diminishing virtue, 2..) - I also want that no one hurts me. Although I risk the sometimes, so even with this text, but never forget about it, that everything that hurts me, bad. Other hand, I think it is good and nice to get when people write, read and count. Wolves can not. And teachers who believe in a class to teach the children something, I find brave, not cowardly. Moreover, I do not like it if someone explains me as superfluous and destruction releases.
He has raved about ancient Sparta, where the world was divided neatly into rulers, warriors, peasants and slaves .* But I know I would have either already been killed in Sparta as an infant or a slave. Well, I do not like world in which we can not I live or enslaved.
He despises women and humiliated: is the happiness of man: I want to. The happiness of woman is: he wants. (...) ... Because the man is in his innermost soul is merely evil, woman, however, is mean. (...) And the woman must obey and find a depth to its surface. Surface is woman's mind, a movable stormy film on shallow water. / A man's mind but is deep ... (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Zarathustra's speeches by old and young female..) - But I love and honor the women who appreciate their role in the development of human culture is a high and I am convinced that much harm to humanity would have been saved if women had more often enforced against the men.
He has glorified the war like so many of his contemporaries: You shall love peace as a means to new wars. And the short peace more than the long. (...) You say the good thing is that even the holy war? I tell you the good war is sanctifies every cause. (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Zarathustra's speeches.. From the war and war people) - The man should be trained for war and woman for the recreation of the warrior: all else is folly. (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Zarathustra's speeches by old and young female...) - But I hate the war and all drivers. The people are for life, born to love and not to kill. And contrary to popular belief, they actually live together in nine of ten, in nine out of ten countries in relative peace, they can! I love Gustav Heinemann, who said. "Peace is the real thing, where we have to prove ourselves,"
He has the ambition glorified as the scourge of the hardest incandescent heart hard ... For power: the earthquake that breaks all the rotten and Höhlichte and breaks, and the rolling rumbling punitive Zerbrecherin whitewashed tombs, the flashing question mark next to premature responses. (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Third Part Of the three evil, 2..) - But I see the early responses of tyrannical rulers set and the flashing question mark in the minds and hands of those who resist.
It has the hardness preached and said (as "Zarathustra") to his disciples: despised When you the pleasant and soft bed, and the effeminate you can embed not go far enough: there is the origin of your virtue. (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Zarathustra's speeches from the bestowing virtue, 1..) - But I love the pleasant and especially my soft bed. I love Lao-tse, who said added: The soft water breaks the stone.
Oh God, he was a child of his terrible time: militarism, nationalism, Blood and Iron worship, misogyny, hatred of Socialists and Democrats - all the junk he has of Bismarck, Wilhelm & Co. and taken over philosophically inflated. His critically acclaimed challenge to the Christian-Catholic "slave morality," added wonderfully in Bismarck's Kulturkampf against the Catholics. But I do not like me when perishable goods are sold as an eternal value.
He psychoanalysis has opened the door, * which should at least his - as I guess: the only - his consistent performance. The rest is evil. That Nietzsche's fight against equality, fraternity and human rights is once again highly praised at a time, which changes to dimension the value of a man in his share ownership and parliamentary decisions to be replaced by board resolutions, fearing that leaves bad and challenging me to resist. Hopefully you too!
* literature, to which I refer :
- Rudiger Safranski: Nietzsche (Munich 2000), by Christoph Türcke: What will save me, I break something. Time 24.08.2000 (literature)
- Alain de Botton: Well, then. It works! Time 24.08.2000 (life). Where the rates of eulogists Nietzsche even explicitly agree!
- Thorsten Goedecke: Unlucky philosophy. Exactly 100 years ago, the thinkers and Antichrist Friedrich Nietzsche. Neue Westfälische 08.25.2000. Again, this agrees with the eulogists set to Nietzsche - but he has recently hailed probably the end of certainties and historical interpretations.
