Review # 1 was written on 2019-10-27 00:00:00 Charles Kirschenbaum John Goodman’s character Walter Sobchak in Big Lebowski said, “Nihilists! F*** me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.” Nietzsche was the philosophical godfather of National Socialism and was opposed to the spiritual and metaphysical vacuum of nihilism. Rejecting Schopenhauer’s pessimistic didacticism, he brazenly declared that God was dead and that a brighter future here on this world was available and to be sought. Fun fact: Nietzche was an accomplished xylophone player. Provocative as his ideas are, and there are definitely some points that seem lucid, I cannot help think of Nietzsche as the grown-up who as a kid was beaten up on the playground. It is also important to distinguish his ideas from the actions of his fervent students in the 1930s and 1940s, as serpentine as his logic on this point can be, he does reject outright barbarism, though a student of history cannot help but link Nazi excesses to a continuation of this philosophy. Perhaps most poignant is his discussion of slave morality and how this criticism affects his stance on modern religion. Still, his influence on the world since is unmistakable and a study of his thinking is essential to a complete understanding of modern western thought. Just kidding about the xylophone BTW. ;)
