How do I understand Nietzsche?
>>18258908Become a pious Christian, study the Classics, and then have a moment of reckoning, just like Nietzsche. It's the only way.
>>18258908He was against institutions (physical and mental) that sap human agency, that's pretty much it. He wanted high civilization without a lot of crappy wasted lives.
>>18258908Start by doing a medieval book of hours in full everyday for 6 months. Then read everything by Erasmus, Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli. Then you get frustrated and go back to the Greeks and read them. Then from where you stopped in the reformation, work your way up to the 1860s in philosophy.
>>18258908I caught on to what he was saying immediately about Classical and modern civilization, and it sent me into a brief depression. I have not been the same person since.
>>18259063then you read it wrong
