More from Friedrich Nietzsche
"The thought of suicide is a strong consolation: by means of it one gets successfully through many a bad night."
"The value of a man is not measured by how much he loves, but by how much he is loved."
"I teach you the overman. Man is something that shall be overcome. What have you done to overcome him?"
"Man's maturity: to have reacquired the seriousness that one had as a child at play."
"The greatest danger for all higher men is that they are called to be judges and executioners of their own time."
About Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)
German philosopher of 'God is dead,' ressentiment, and the will to power, who attacked Christian moral psychology at its foundations. Closely associated with Arthur Schopenhauer (his early intellectual father, later broken with). For an intellectual contrast, see Søren Kierkegaard, Danish Christian existentialist of the leap of faith — both diagnosed modern despair, but Kierkegaard's answer was Christ and Nietzsche's was the death of God — the two existentialist roads taken from the same starting point.
The standard scholarly entry points to Friedrich Nietzsche's work: Walter Kaufmann (Princeton, the postwar Nietzsche rehabilitator) — Nietzsche: Philosopher, Psychologist, Antichrist (1950); Brian Leiter (University of Chicago Law School) — Nietzsche on Morality (2002); Maudemarie Clark (UC Riverside, Emerita) — Nietzsche on Truth and Philosophy (1990). These are the works graduate seminars cite when teaching Friedrich Nietzsche.
