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:
A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.
At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid.
Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.
It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!
Man is the cruellest animal.
No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
One must have a good memory to be able to keep the promises one makes.
Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
The irrationality of a thing is no argument against its existence, rather a condition of it.
The overman...Who has organized the chaos of his passions, given style to his character, and become creative. Aware of life's terrors, he affirms life without resentment.
The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others.
To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity.
To predict the behaviour of ordinary people in advance, you only have to assume that they will always try to escape a disagreeable situation with the smallest possible expenditure of intelligence.
What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another person lives, acts, and experiences otherwise than we do…?
When one has much to put into them, a day has a hundred pockets.
When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back at you.
You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.
There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.
But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful! (Also Sprach Zarathustra, Chapter 29)
Digressions, objections, delight in mockery, carefree mistrust are signs of health; everything unconditional belongs in pathology. (Beyond Good and Evil)

In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point. (The Antichrist, section 16)

Is man merely a mistake of God's? Or God merely a mistake of man's? (Twilight of the Idols, Maxims and Arrows)

O alta metoda, si ea buna, ar fi o lista de clipuri, incepand cu muzica lui Strauss, folosita in 2001: A Space Oddissey, documentarul BBC, dar si scene din jocul de computer omonim (xenosaga III). Voila!
In urmatorul episod intru in detalii si recomand carti necitite.

kool! deci topicu e imens, oricum misto abordarea ta neconventionala [i'll look into that xenosaga 3 :P]
ReplyDeletegenial citatu asta [multi uita cat de ironic era N, vad in el doar un guru or smth]:
At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid.
f tare si pictorialu'
exact, asta-i problema cu interpretarea operei sale: putini reusesc sa evite dogmatizarea.
ReplyDeletecel mai ironic este ca si Iisus tot ca revolutionar a-nceput, luptandu-se cu status quo-ul, fariseii si establishmentu'. si-odata ce toata lumea l-a adoptat ca stindard, si spusele lui au devenit dogma..
u know, e una din cartile tari de saramago, cu jesus, si acolo nu numa' oamenii - but god itself il "prinde'n capcana" pe jesus, il face sa crape pt status quo-ul divin :)
ReplyDeleteaici ai venit pe frecventa mea! il iubesc pe Nietzche! IL ADOR! toata viata am avut o preferinta stranie pentru negativi si negativisti. nu prea spun asta, ca mi-e teama sa nu cumva sa fiu gresit inteleasa. nu am nimic diabolic, nu am aderente pe terenul maleficului, dar am murit de dragul negativului, pentru ca acolo e depozitul universal al puterii. nu mi-am facut modele din lucifer, sau castro, sau doamne fereste, hitler, macchiaveli, dar asta mi-a placut: unde e treaba mai incurcata,mai eclectica si mai controversata, acolo sa bag nasul. si sunt sigura ca au avut locul lor determinant in istoria planetei. ce s-ar fi facut omenirea fara ei?asa, si nietzche mi-a placut tarziu dupa ce am terminat liceul, pe vremea aia nu aveam acces la el. foarte misto, asa grait-a zarathustra, mi-a dat peste cap teoriile pe care le halisem despre religie. mai nou am dat peste shrek, care e convins ca noi suntem intr-un program al extraterestrilor, si ca pentru ei suntem doar un ADN pus la pastrare. da, si mai am pe un dvd also sprach zarathustra, al lui strauss, in interpretarea orchestrei lui H. von Karajan. o ascult rar.
ReplyDeletedespre ce carte vorbeste strelnikov, evanghelia dupa Iisus Cristos? n-o gasesc, o caut de o juma de an. si mai caut o carte de care am auzit candva, dar nu mai stiu titlul. era ceva cu... de ce are biblia copertile negre.
ReplyDeletescuze ca n-am raspuns mai devreme, sunt un pic cam prins in treburi.
ReplyDelete@strelnikov: n-am jucat xenosaga, dar l-am gasit pe iutub si m-a distrat ca ideile lui Nietzsche (sau macar titlurile) se (re)gasesc in jocuri manga - e ceva similar cu imaginea lui Iisus sponsorand razboaie sau chipul lui Che pe tricouri :)
inquiring minds want 2 know: care din cartile astea de saramago?
Dr. Lecter: daca-l iubesti si tu, poate facem un menage a 3 intr-o zi (aici ii zicem threesome). la modul intelectual desigur, fiindca 1. e male si 2. nu cred ca le-avea p-astea.
cat despre negativism, este ce da vietii farmec. daca totul e disneyland, te plictisesti - asta zice si el in faza cu raiul. totusi, prea mult negativism devine obositor. in ce ma priveste, vreau yin dar vreau si yang (iarasi, la modul nesexual).
mai stiu un niceist ruginit, deci facem menage a quatre
ReplyDeletesuper-tari floyzii - si-mi place ca da si un link de torrent, de parca stie ca nu-i va supravietui mult clipul acolo :)
ReplyDelete@bonobo: oricum the japz are crazy: vazusem la un moment dat un joc inspirat din chopin [!!] cu muzica de rigoare :)
ReplyDeletecartea e "evanghelia dupa isus" si e cea mai buna chestie de saramago pe care'am bifat'o, chiar tare.
@lecter: pai e tradusa [bine] la polirom.
Dar filmul nu l-am vazut. Tare ciudat mi s-a parut finalul asta. Lung si static..
ReplyDeletestii ca americanii le spuneau "yellow monkeys" in timpul razboiului. ei bine, ei au facut o formatie rock cu numele asta si-au inceput sa le vanda muzica :)
ReplyDeletealta faza este ca din pricina sex toys si vaginelor facute din materiale super, barbatii japonezi nu mai reusesc sa ejaculeze in pasarici naturale, li se par ciudate si prost concepute. guvernul japonez este foarte ingrijorat din cauza asta, intrucat au mult batrani si populatia scade rau.
@catalin: kubrik, frate http://www.kubrick2001.com/ :)
"li se par ciudate si prost concepute" :)
ReplyDeletela asta te refereai cu "hot stance"? :)
ReplyDeleteAm mai gasit un joc cu nume nietzschean: Beyond Good & Evil:
ReplyDeletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_Good_&_Evil_(video_game)
(celalalt fiind la http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenosaga )
