Goethe's problem with Hegel's philosophy was his own impatience. Judging from the fact that he only cut the first page in his copy of the Phenomenology and wrote "no" after a first statement (which Hegel on the next page contradicted), he gave up.

Language can be used to illuminate or conceal, to aid or to trick, for selfless and selfish reasons. It maters little if the wielder be poet or philosopher, the structure of their argument will differ, but both possess these capacities.

So we can practice master morality among competitors but treat those beneath us with a slave morality? Since they don’t have the resources(habits) to take the punishment the ones above can?

Good job. You might be interested to consider the views of Morse Peckham on the master-slave encounter, because he extends the logic of Hegel's paradigm explicitly to sex and politics in his essay "Eroticism=Politics; Politics=Eroticism". You can find this essay in his Collected Papers. Cheers.

God isnt dead, it never existed.

Kalos send me

In this video was struck by the idea of Goethe thinking Hegel’s influence was bad on the nation because of not focusing enough on studying nature. Stumbled on an article about the philosophical movement and Hegel’s involvement in the Wikipedia article “Naturphilosophie” (KZbin deletes my comments with links which is why none is included here.)

Excellent summary. Thanks so much :)

Cause you guys are my slaves😂😂😂😂😂😂This is all backward😂😂😂😂And you are going to please me now😂😂😂😂😂

Setting Christianity as the "slave morality" is hilarious. This is why I can never take Nietzsche seriously. He always has ideas which sound good, but if you scratch beneath the surface in any way they fall apart. Imagine misunderstanding Christianity so much that you think it is based on resentment.

Thanks for this, just read Twilight of the Idols and this is very helpful for my understanding of the text.

Schopenhauer comes across as definitely someone who not only saw the world as a glass half empty, but saw it necessary to smash the glass all together! What amazes me is that he didn’t slash his own throat with the shards!

More book summaries / interps please!

reminds me to my personal process: WHOLENESS > LeftHandPath (Unholiness) > RightHandPath (Holiness)

Thank you for this lecture, I was confused a few times but the thought that in Germany they had the idea that 'work sets you free', just wondering who that was applied to. Is it a Hegelian idea?

For me there's a paradox of master/slave morality. People free internally are willing to serve some cause willingly and with joy. Mental slaves are always in rebellion against something. Isn't that interesting 😂

Man does this sound all to familiar with the behavior of the cadre surrounding Biden and the way Biden encouraged it. Voters sound about the same too. The older I get, the bigger the kick I get out of 'connecting' with those I can recognize as ~Moderns. When I was younger I sought out the opposite. Children rebel.

It sounds like the various forms of gradual degradation of the different forms of governments could be described as entropy.

This shit is gay

I heard stories as a child that the Germans pushed the Romans out of Germania, then seduced the powerful, then drugged the powerful, then overthrow the supposed powers that be by sowing the seeds of doubt into the recently drugged getting the powerful to turn on themselves. The powers that be have to be careful not to overstep in a territory of proud people, who are intelligent and don't think like slaves.

To describe the exploiter and the exploited as a form of morality, is to ignore how easy it really is to overthrow power. Drug one lunatic with power into turning on his own, and bam they overthrow themselves.

Nietzsche didn't write the book. he "subconciously recalled key points" thinking he's writing it, he was actually recalling the book he read as a kid in 1800s. As mentioned in "Man and his Symbols" book by Jung.

Nietzsche’s value lies in making you self-critical. Are your conclusions truly based on merit, or do they serve hidden self-interest? This constant self-interrogation leads to greater honesty, i think. However, it just sounds like ad hominem. Even if Schopenhauer had the flaws Nietzsche claims, it doesn’t invalidate his arguments.

Brilliant!

just popped over to your patreon to see where you are at. sorry to hear you're going through a tough time. just wanted to say you are one of the coolest dudes i've encountered. lots of love brother.

Can you do Plato’s Gorgias and Nietzsche?

"explain the categorical imperative to the dude mugging you" LOL

libertarianism annoys me as a concept because it is a loaded term with the word liberal in there which has changed its meaning over time as well as having a specifically American spin at least in my experience with the term. I like to keeps things simple. I am an anarchist. I see power structures as inherently corrupt (even if they aren't acting abusively at the time) and when the chips are well and truly down I will support (if only in sympathy) the individual over the power structure (well beyond traditional political realms). Not enough time to start unpacking it in this comment but this commitment of mine runs down the level of the individual human mind (spiritual implications).

I struggle a bit to understand the details of Nietzsche's proposed morality. Could it be almost like Jungian psychology, but mapped onto a moral philosophy? *Psychology:* Integrate the shadow, rather than deny or fight it. Employ the shadow as a means of strength and confidence to make yourself and your world better. *Conscious Innocence:* Integrate Human propensity for cruelty, rather than hate it. Seek strength and beauty without being shamed, because strength and beauty are how our species prospers. I'm just curious how the ubermensche treats those he has disgust for. Is the ubermensche cruel, callous or disdainful?

Yes, that story is horseshit.

thanks for doing this, you do everything you do well, but this is really making me crave one of your Nietzsche videos lol.

Does anyone know what is the painting in background?

Donald Trump is, whether me or anyone else likes it or motherfking not, him.
