FN's whole philosophical project was a response to the problem of nihilism. he's often misunderstood as a nihilist because he offered the challenge of going beyond all values in order to counteract nihilism. nihilism is the ultimateterminus of the project of modernity. but nobody wants to admit that. this is why I admire FN's courage and see him as a model philosopher. I don't think anybody ...
... rhythmic pumps lull you into a sublime calmness. And then you free fall. Into a wonderland that surpasses all imagination, all worries and problems and into a land that even the most wise philosophers - Plato or Nietszche - have failed to expound on. Because really, it's simple. It's not rocket science, It's easy as 123 and ABC: When you fall in love, You don't force yourself to fall, ...

Кілька років тому, коли я читав "Суму технологій" Станіслава Лема, я думав, що не має більшого задоволення від читання. Я розтягував і смакував його. Читав не більш ніж 50 сторінок в день, щоб розтягнути наркоманський драйв. Виявляється є більше задоволення. Це "Так говорив Заратустра" Фрідріха Ніцше. Читаю, перечитую, і не можу насититись. Прямо аж радість, впорядкованість і витонченість ...
For all the talk about "Oh! Kindle!" and "Audiobook rights!" and "extensive list of available titles!" -- I grabbed the Amazon Kindle for iPhodne program (free) and then proceeded to check out what I could buy from the Kindle Store. Let's see what we have in fantasy ... A children's book about the Kalevala. Gaiman's Coraline . Stephenie Meyer . Public Domain Works. Five bazillion ...
Friedrich Nietzsche Quotations Egoism is the very essence of a noble soul. Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man. These are hyperboles and overgeneralizations... but they have some truth to them. The second one I can relate to quite a bit as of late.
...dust. This one makes our throats go tight." ... and it is SO GOOD ohmigoodness. Also, yesterday I read some Nietszche, and liked it very much. I don't know if I liked all his ideas, per se, but I liked reading him. He's fun to read. I don't really know what to think about Nietszche, because everyone's always telling me that he's a hugejerk, but I think he's been grossly misinterpreted, ...
... As Leslie Chamberlain says, "Out of his incapacity to live he created a formidable life." T wilight of the I dols, The Anti-Christian , and Ecce Homo were all written in the last months in Turin. Nietszche must have worked at a white-hot pitch. The sense of this ecstatic haste is one of the things that make these books so exciting to read: as we follow the molten line of his thought we have...
.... i was pessimistic and depressed, intrinsically. i tried my best not to let it show. i allowed myself to drift in the river of inebriation and friends. and music. and art. i had a blast. Nietszche on music: "...In musical experience you could transcend your earthly misery for a few moments." but now, (ta-dah!) especially now that i don't have a relationship to disctract me: i have decided to ...
