So, on my interpretation. It seems like we first must have the ambition, persistence, and discipline to try. We must then have the mental sovereignty to defy blank obedience. And last we must have the wisdom to choose our own philosophies, one not based on order nor defiance but on choice, freedom, and insight.

I swear, after I finished reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra, I went straight to SparkNotes and also browsed videos to review it again, just to check if I missed some things I couldn't comprehend yet from the book. Found some new things! The level of comprehension for each reader for this philosophical work must be so different! Thank you for your explanations too Dr. Gregory!! I'm recently so hooked with philosophical books, I've never thought there were such bold texts written since long ago!! So bold, so rebellious, so truthful!! Are there other philosophical books you can recommend?

Listened to this twice today and it really helped me draw a roadmap in my mind of Nietzsche's masterpiece. Well-done, I can't overemphasize my appreciation.

Holy SHIT! Thank you! I've been stuck in the Lion state for the past few years now, hostile towards all forms of authority, and wondering why it didnt feel like an end. I never really understood the Child part until now, but it's probably the most important. The Lion only knows how to destroy, and when it's done destroying toxic conditioning it starts eating away at the values we really care about. Thank you very much!

@@GregoryBSadler Dr. Salder, I'm reading Walter Kaufmann's translation of Thus Spoke Zarathustra. In Part II: On Self-Overcoming in which Nietzsche speaks a lot of his Will to Power concept, Kaufmann says this it is the high point or climax of Part II but it raises a lot of difficulties philosophically. Do you have any idea what Kaufmann thought the philosophical difficulties may have been? If you have the time I'd love to hear your insight, thank you kindly!

Thanks for all your videos on Nietzsche. Just decided to read him a few weeks ago and your videos have been a light to understand some of his dark, sometimes cryptic writing style. As a philosopher, do you have any particular philosopher that you are partial to? Currently, I tend to follow the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas But I am just now wanting to learn other ideas.
@GregoryBSadler3 жыл бұрын
Well, following the philosophy of Aquinas in a way faithful to his own thought means engaging with and integrating Aristotle, Cicero, Seneca, Augustine, Cassian, Boethius, and a slew of others.

Am I getting this, I visualised the camel as wanting or having to please and carry all. The lion refuses to carry any or please anyone or thing. And the dragon is the vector of all things possible. The child is free will. I wanted to explore metamorphoses as every interaction in my life leaves behind a residue and after a while the residue I carry, like the camel stops me from recognising my own self image. My lion is very tired and my child not yet found so am looking on how to find yes.
@GregoryBSadler4 жыл бұрын
The dragon is not all things possible, but rather imperatives, norms. The camel not only wants to take on burdens, but also chooses to do so. The lion revolts against the imperatives and burdens

Personally, I don't think the child is the end of the metamorphoses mainly because of what Zarathustra said in The Ass Festival. To be sure: except you become as little children you shall not enter into that kingdom of heaven." (And Zarathustra pointed aloft with his hands.) "But we do not at all want to enter into the kingdom of heaven: we have become men, - so we want the kingdom of earth." Can you elaborate on what it means transforming from child to men.
