I Love me some caturday madness.
ReplyDeleteIf I saw the truth the way Nietzsche did I'd go crazy too.
ReplyDeleteGot existential nausea?
i can has tragedy?
ReplyDeleteFrom what I heard he sounds pretty insane to me...
ReplyDeleteWell this is my first time every reading any of Nietzsche work but he is very deep and interesting. He looks at things in a very different light so different it's scary
ReplyDeletejust for some inside facts on syphilis. it is a sexually transmitted disease that is very treatable with penicillin but of course penicillin hadn't been discovered yet. when syphilis isn't treated it makes it way into the brain causing the person to "go crazy" usually in the form of Schizophrenia or other mental diseases.
ReplyDeletei'm assuming when he wrote this the side effects of the syphilis hadn't kicked in yet.
Nietzsche work is quite different might i say; compared to other readings I've read. For me, with a little help from sparknotes, I think I will be well on my way to actually enjoy his work of art.

Megan: You're right, he was quite young (33)when he wrote TBOT, so the Syphilis had not gotten to him yet. He wasn't terribly fond of it when he got older. In the middle of his career he had repudiated both Richard Wagner and Schopenhauer, both of whom are central to TBOT.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, the diagnosis of Syphilis is somewhat speculative. Most *think* he had it, but there is little proof. The wikipedia entry is actually quite good for an overview of Nietzsche and his changing philosophy.
