More from Friedrich Nietzsche
"All I need is a sheet of paper and something to write with, and then I can turn the world upside down."
"What is freedom? The will to be responsible for oneself. To hold oneself to the strictest standard, to be able to overcome shame, to be able to say no to one's desires."
"All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking."
"Objection, evasion, joyous distrust, and love of irony are signs of health; everything absolute belongs to pathology."
"Man has been educated by woman. It is woman who has spoiled him."
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.
