Am fost intrebat de unde vine titlul blogului si n-am raspuns, pentru ca raspunsul ar fi fost mult prea lung. Dar la un moment dat ceva, cumva trebuie sa ofer ca raspuns. Am decis sa-ncep c-un articol mai mult sau mai putin enciclopedic despre Nietzsche, Also Sprach Zarathustra si – intr-un viitor apropiat - Zamolxis.
In primul rand si foremost, eu nu prea am studiat filozofia la scoala – de fapt, deloc. Putinul pe care-l stiu e cules din sinteze si mai putin din citirea directa a operelor filozofice. Nietzsche este unul din filozofii pe care as vrea sa-i aprofundez, dar n-am facut-o inca.
Chiar daca as stii despre ce vorbesc, tot as incerca sa evit o prezentare dogmatica a lui Nietzsche. Subectul nietzsche a fost deja atacat cu maiestrie de mai multi cavaleri ai tastaturii, cum ar fi strelnikov, comisarul societatii tlon, cu stil si-n faze avansate. Cum ziceam, eu voi incerca sa ma ocup de baza, cu atat mai mult cu cat simt ca Nietzsche este unul din filozofii cu stayin’ powa.
Nu stiu ce am, ca de cate ori ii scriu numele, ii mananc un “s”. Dac-ar fi sa sintetizez cu tot cu “s” gandirea sa, a criticat moralitatea si moravurile crestine cu scopul probabil de a elibera si descatusa intelectul uman. A cautat explicatii simple, atavice pentru moralitatea si concepte generale si a considerat cautarea si exercitarea puterii ca unul din factorii primari in istoria speciei si in relatiile interumane. Cred ca viziunea sa oarecum sumbra asupra lumii are de a face cu sanatatea sa precara si durerea fizica ce l-a chinuit mai tot timpu’.
Probabil cel mai eficient mod de a-i prezenta opera si gandirea este sa bag o lista de citate. Care este ea:
