I get bored reading anything else basically. He just filtered every other writer for me. They'll never reach Nietzsche's insight, cleverness, and/or his ability to blend prose and poetry. Has any author ever written anything as beautiful and meaningful as the Parable of the Madman?And Nietzsche's many excellent quotes that affirm life. And speaking of affirming life, Nietzsche saved my life where Christianity could not. Before reading Nietzsche, I was suicidal, only barely avoiding suicide because it was a sin. In fact, I did try to kill myself and landed in a coma, but survived thankfully.Christianity teaching me to hate the world, life, and myself did nothing good for me. And it's my opinion that most "Christians" are lukewarm. I am not denying that there are good things about Christianity, the best people in my life have been Christian, but if you take the religion seriously, then you would act entirely differently. For example, Paul recommends against getting married. The vast majority of modern Christians ignore this.
>>25167545Yeah, he's the best that ever did it. Get over it, read other stuff too. He would be laughing his ass off at you
>>25167545Elite-level glaze
>>25167545I wish more writers were assholes like him
For once OP wasn't a faggot. Yeah Nietzsche is easily the greatest philosopher and one of the greatest writers, and I've yet to find a single successor or critic that is serious instead of trying to cling to social norms or dead ideologies.
>>25167545I think he writes well, yes. his philosophy is a mix of hits and misses.
>>25168256>doesn't realize this is the point
>>25167545Nietzsche is a retard and so are you. Good day.
He is because he's willing to critique, breakdown and get behind the inner workings of any belief, supposition, prejudice, idea, etc. The only criteria for him on whether you should hold any particular view is how life promoting/denying it is.
>>25167545nietzsche ended books so there's not lack of sense to not have read anything else
>>25167545Learn German and read him in the original language
>>25168068you rang?
>>25168279no, you can be a good writer and a good philosopher. Neetch is someone who is neither good or bad at philosophy, just so-so.
>>25167545what determines whether or not we can be friends is what you have read BEFORE coming to this conclusion. if you're a jungian "i have only read nietzsche" type i would recommend you start with parmenides
>>25169975>used the words good and bad
>>25167545Based.Read Nietzsche's recommendations
>>25169975>actually believes what they're saying
>>25170311>>25170343Dilate
>>25170346>trying to solidify opinion into fact when outnumbered
>>25167545I'm also a big nfag, but remember, lesson 1 is to watch out for idolization, lest you create a false reality that enables your escape from world
>>25170330What are Nietzsche's recommendations? I'm picking up pic related in a couple of days
>>25170434From memory:- Homer- Heraclitus- Carlyle- Schopenhauer- Stendhal- Dostoyevsky- Ralph Waldo Emerson- Thucydides- Michel de Montaigne- GoetheAsk an LLM or something for more
>>25170346what is good philosophy?>>25170434schopenhauer, schelling, schiller, heine, kant, hegel (less so), he would probably say you have to read marx in order to engage with his ideas and tell him why he's wrong (although nietzsche is much more tolerant of marxism than people like to think), the greeks (of course), parmenides, empedocles, heraclitus, democritus, plato, aeschylus, homer, archilochus, euripides, sophocles (as important as schopenhauer), the "noble" stoics, the old and new testaments, and all the writings of st. paul, augustine, aquinas, descartes, baruch goddamn spinoza, hume, hobbes, shakespeare, marlowe, dostoyevsky, and more even more of whom some venerable /lit/izen is sure to remind me (and this doesn't include his "impossible ones" like dante and tolstoy)
