More from Friedrich Nietzsche
"I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, how much pain, how much torture it endures and knows how to transform to its advantage."
"One loves ultimately one's desires, not the thing desired."
"One must pay dearly for immortality: one has to die several times while one is still alive."
"Christianity is a revolt of all creatures that crawl on the ground against everything that is lofty."
"Love to one only is a barbarity, for it is exercised at the expense of all others. Love to God also!"
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.
