Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra | The Solitary Person | Core Concepts

[@dominicg9822]

Reminds me of when Seneca said something along the lines of, how he never comes back home with the same character and inner peace he left with.

[@GregoryBSadler]

Indeed

[@JeDxDeVu]

You're a fantastic teacher. Your voice is so easy to listen to. 🎶

[@GregoryBSadler]

Thanks! You know, you can get a lot of these lectures as podcast episodes

[@austinmackell9286]

I like how he connects these ideas with a contemporary experience, like the example of TVs in public places. It's something I find maddening and inane.

[@GregoryBSadler]

One of the few upsides of civid has not been spending time in those public places

@@GregoryBSadler it's given us all time to think. Including about Nietzsche. Here's where that took me, in case you're interested: “The Nietzschean Case for a Basic Income” link.medium.com/o49nYIUFHcb

Sitting in a doctor's office waiting to hear about some ailment I can understand why many people don't want to sit with their own thoughts... Even if that is one of the most important time to do that.

[@GregoryBSadler]

You got lucky if you had a waiting room to sit in with your own thoughts. Most have a TV blaring these days

[@samshepherd420]

Thanks for these videos Gregory, i'm dipping my toes in to philosophy and these mini lectures helped a lot with the metaphorical nature of the text!

[@GregoryBSadler]

You're welcome!

Clearly stated, nice tone and pace, well explained. A true jem in the marketplace that is YT.

[@GregoryBSadler]

You might say that it's . . . solitary

[@magnusofficial3332]

Am I first? But yeah. . . I'm truly revisiting Zarathustra because of these videos... I'm thinking how to make Saddled version of every concept.

Glad you're enjoying them

These videos are golden.

OMG! This is so good for now. I need to read this again!!

Great video, I enjoyed your interpretation.

[@GregoryBSadler]

Thanks!

[@mandys1505]

When I go to doctor's offices, I shut the TV off! You should see the looks I get...😆👌

[@GregoryBSadler]

I used to do that as well - and get the same responses. Now, I don't even bother

[@atlasshrugged3435]

Which english translation is best to understand actual Nietzsche's point of view?

[@sonnyjim5268]

I’ve tried a few and think Kauffman is best. He includes notes to explain various English interpretations and what he thinks make sense in the context.

[@mandys1505]

CANNOT be shared... that is the important point~ I think there is a preconception that all things can be shared

[@GregoryBSadler]

Indeed - that's one mistaken assumption that a lot of people fall into

[@joshuajackson530]

Do you think Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a good book to read? I was thinking about reading it but have seen a lot of conflicting opinions on it. Should I read another book by him instead?

[@GregoryBSadler]

Yes.

as a person who lives in complete isolation, i for once feel like my sentiments are understood lol

You'll find quite a few philosophers who write about solitude, if you start looking
