This is a fantastic series. You have a very clear explanations.

[@WeltgeistYT]

Thank you very much

[@vivekmaximus8922]

I started reading this book... And just after first para, it felt like a overgrown stack dude is screaming words at my face. I've no background in philosophy, rather engineering. It was a struggle understand and absorbing his words. Thankyou for making things easy. Hope things would come a bit easy now on

[@WeltgeistYT]

Just keep going ;) thanks for watching

[@des12zero]

Same, i studied engineering and had no background on philosophy besides plato and Marcus Aurelius. Reading Nietzsche was hard, but I read each sentence as many times as needed to make sure I understand the entire paragraph and made notes on the book, that helped a lot, but I still don't understand a great deal of his thought. Man I hate how Nietzsche wrote.

[@franzwilde89]

Wonderful videos - I love how you couple explanations of Nietzsche's and Schopenhauer's teachings with great art. It really enriches the learning experience. Looking forward to your series on The Genealogy of Morals and other videos

[@WeltgeistYT]

The Genealogy series is finished… Check the channel for the full vid. It’s an hour long. Thx for the kind words!

Please do more Nietzsche.

Lots of Nietzsche planned...

Here is your first like good man

I appreciate it!

[@samuelterry6354]

Great series, you explained Nietzsche so well. I'm interested in what your personal opinion of Nietzsche is; do have more of a Nietzschean or Schopenhauerian worldview?

[@WeltgeistYT]

Good question! There's a synthesis to be made I think. Both Nietzsche and Schopenhauer try to do the same thing: confront the suffering of human existence. The latter tells you to withdraw from the world, the former wants you to take a heroic stand against it. I think there is more value in Nietzsche on that point. But in my estimation, Schopenhauer is ultimately the more profound philosopher (as much as Nietzsche was a genius.) For example, Schopenhauer's theory of aesthetics does so much more to explain *why* we enjoy art than do Nietzsche's writings on the subject.

[@JohnDoe-bp5js]

@@WeltgeistYT I think also in these regards there can be an important synthesis between Schopenhauer’s withdrawal and Nietzsche’s heroic stand. To me it’s almost impossible to make the subconscious known, and to have that heroic self affirming stand against the suffering that existences entails without first being able to withdraw from the world to recognize your true condition. And we can see that as Nietzsche first loved Schopenhauer’s writings until he created his own response. But I don’t think that the Ubermensch could become a thing if Nietzsche had never contemplated removing and withdrawing from the world like he read in Schopenhauer’s philosophies.

[@anisheshdas362]

@@JohnDoe-bp5js Well said...I highly agree with your views

[@nothomelessonyoutube]

I would say if you have a Nirtzschean world view you aren't listing to him. Have your own world view.

I am curious, what might Nietzsche have said about Buddhism and Siddhartha Gautama? Buddhism superficially holds many similar values that might be shared with Christianity or Schopenhauer, but the Buddha was not a slave, he was royalty. It might be harder to speak about his personality as a philosopher considering how long ago he lived, but considering the similarities between the two religions it seems perhaps a bit of a forced explanation to say that these virtues were invented because of weakness.. I'd love to hear anyone who has thoughts on this matter!

[@WeltgeistYT]

Nietzsche believed Buddhism was similarly nihilistic to Christianity. There is some discussion about whether that's a correct assessment of Buddhism -- but that's what Nietzsche believed. But he was not as interested in Buddhism as Schopenhauer.

[@bret6484]

@@WeltgeistYT makes sense, I may have to do some more research on the subject. Do you have an opinion as to how accurate this description of Buddhism is? Or else how Nietzsche's philosophy might have described Buddhism had he had a better understanding of it?

[@JAMAICADOCK]

Nietzsche's understanding of what constitutes power is pretty basic. He totally overlooks moral authority. That the people who hold the moral high ground demand more respect than the immoral or the amoral. Not because of the masses being brainwashed by some slave morality, but because the moral person can generally be trusted over the immoral person. And the pre-Christian ruling classes wanted moral slaves to take care of them, naturally didn't want thieves, or miscreants in their homes. The ancient world was extremely moral, Tiberius wiped out half the Senate for sleeping with his daughter; Ovid was exiled for his bawdy poetry, celebrating marital infidelity. The great emperors were seen as acting wisely and democratically. Of not persecuting the Senate etc etc. Much Christian morality was not derived from Judaism, but from the Roman/ Grecco world itself. And do we expect the slaves to apply only morality to themselves, and not to their masters? That would make the slaves asinine and feeble minded. A real sign of weakness, The slaves only demanding from the masters the same morality that the masters applied to their slaves.

[@Emptidiot]

What does he base his "sour grapes" theory on? That Christians (just like anyone else) desired power, worldly goods, and -pleasures? I feel like it's considered evident by him based on this summary, though I might have missed something as I can't focus so good at the moment.

[@heavyatheart]

Great work. He was totally accurate.

[@sonnyjim5268]

I recently read Ayn Rand's 'Return to the Primitive' and her other main works. I knew she drew on Nietzsche but I didn't realise how many of her ideas derived from him.

[@WeltgeistYT]

Oh yeah definitely. Aristotle and Nietzsche basically.

[@isaachester8475]

I wonder if Nietzsche ever studied Eastern philosophy like Buddhism. Buddhism was founded by a guy that threw away his conventional power and rejected the ways of power, not because he was _forced_ to, not because he was _subjugated_ , but for other reasons. Yet he preaches pacifism and a modest lifestyle much like Jesus did. I think Nietzsche erroneously ascribes this “slave morality,” as he calls it, to coming about _only_ as a way to be okay with subjugation.

[@Ccm2019]

Master and Slave Morality is the story behind tower of babel. Tower of Babel is the best example when people acquired Master morality… but in the long run Master Morality created chaos, since everyone is hungry about power. Jesus Christ show the example that human beings are much more productive if we serve one another instead of chasing the glory of being superior to your fellow men. He believes that a life used to serve the greater good is much more meaningful than serving your own personal interest.

[@ubik5453]

I think in order for the human race to survive it needs to be cooperative not competitive. Our competitiveness will destroy us. I don't think Nietzsche understands that.

[@Ccm2019]

@@ubik5453 Competition and Cooperation is the ideal one, it’s mentioned on Plato’s Republic. That’s also the core belief of Japanese.

[@Dan-ud8hz]

Frederick Douglass made an interesting observation about essential differences in the "Christianities" transcribed from biblical DNA: “Between the Christianity of this land and the Christianity of Christ, I recognize the widest possible difference-so wide that to receive the one as good, pure, and holy, is of necessity to reject the other as bad, corrupt, and wicked. To be the friend of the one is of necessity to be the enemy of the other. I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ; I therefore hate the corrupt, slave-holding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering, partial and hypocritical Christianity of this land. Indeed, I can see no reason but the most deceitful one for calling the religion of this land Christianity…” Jesus said, "It is I who am the light which is above them all. It is I who am the all. From me did the all come forth, and unto me did the all extend. Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there." Verse 77, Gospel of Thomas, Nag Hammadi Library

[@otuekong]

Weird how you barely mentioned the Jews as they were heavily mentioned in the actual book you're summarizing. Or are you using "Christian" as an umbrella term?
