More from Friedrich Nietzsche
"The strongest and most evil spirits have so far advanced humanity the most: they have always rekindled the slumbering passions."
"What does your conscience say? 'You should become the person you are.'"
"One must pay dearly for immortality: one has to die several times while one is still alive."
"Man's maturity: to have reacquired the seriousness that one had as a child at play."
"Every elevation of the type 'man,' has hitherto been the work of an aristocratic society — and so it will always be."
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.
