Nietzsche truely was the marvel of his field. Makes up a word to describe something, then spams said word in next book that's about another made up word to describe something else. The only thing he didn't do was anounce Wich words wer coming out next "phase". Wana read 1 thing by him? Good luck go back 8 books. Humor is just Schadenfreude with a clear conscience.

Its not true! its absolutely false!..you see when you red a book but attentive you begin to think in the terms or words from that book..you capture line of thought not necesarely to borrow thoughts from the book ,you develop them..Nietzsche did exactely that! he read Shopenhauer..he liked him..but at one point he realised he can go even further! and he did

Would Nietzsche really have liked War & Peace? In my opinion it paints a negative light on Napoleon who Nietzsche held in high regard.

Not sure hatred is the right word. Despise is more like it. Schopenhauer described the best of a crooked mind and his mindless followers.

Don Quixote is hilarious and the fact that Cervantes conceived it in a prison shows that inward happiness is more valuable than external objects. ---schopenhauer.

@Völsung-n2y Күн бұрын

My personal favorites: 1. The Iliad 2. The Aeneid (in the original Latin) 3. Faust Parts 1 & 2 4. Aeschylus' Oresteia 5. The Lord of the Rings 6. Don Quixote 7. Beowulf Some close runners ups are Dune, The Argonautika, Le Morte d'Arthur, the Prose and Poetic Eddas, and The Book of the New Sun. I'm starting off this year by reading The Gay Science for the first time; of Nietzsche's bibliography I have only read The Birth of Tragedy, Human All Too Human, On the Genealogy of Morals, Homer's Contest, The Case of Wagner, Twighlight of the Idols and The Antichrist. I can't wait to finish reading through his works this year.

Fascinating. Do you know why? DonQ is a great premise, a moral man deluded and certain of 'Truth'. Ns ideas are captured within DonQs more than any other novel I can think of.

@WeltgeistYT Күн бұрын

In unpublished notes he says Don Q is a nasty book because Cervantes makes fun of his own readers (by making fun of the chivalric romances which were loved back in the day) and by making us laugh at Don Quixote himself, who really did nothing wrong - it's laughter at his expense out of ressentiment. But these are unpublished notes. As far as I know, he mentions Don Quixote only in Daybreak, where he (favorably) compares DonQ to Jesus Christ (as someone who becomes aware of a deep kind of suffering in the world, disillusionment Christ also felt on the Cross when he said "Father why have you forsaken me?" Nietzsche definitely reads Don Quixote as a sad, tragic character, not a humorous bumbling fool we're supposed to laugh at. I believe he was pretty ahead of his time for this.

@effergerg1 Күн бұрын

@@WeltgeistYT Great answer. I agree, Don Quixote definitely comes across as a tragic character. Not a fan of Foucault, but I assume he got some inspiration with this for his books about the history of mental illness.

Absolute essentials, based on my reading: War and Peace Crime and Punishment Notes from Underground (very short, no excuse not to read this one) Brothers Karamazov 2nd Tier, but still Great: On the Road Sister Carrie An American Tragedy I started Tristram Shandy once, but it didn't grab me. Still have the book, need to give it another try. My ratio of reading is 98% non-fiction, 2% (if that) fiction, so it takes me years to accumulate five completed fiction works.

I've read Blood Meridian 10+ times, mostly by revisiting different chapters. At first I didn't love it, cuz mccarthys writing is unique. Now I struggle to enjoy other books. I didn't read any of his other books more than once. It's a unique English language masterpiece. The challenges and issues to translate it into other languages will be a specialty in itself. For example, there are 5 translations of Brothers K, and I spent a day reading opinions about the style differences of the translations. That will happen to blood meridian.
