I don't get Nietzsche. I've read the Genealogy of Morals and Beyond Good and Evil, but i still have no idea what his philosophy is really about, and it doesn't help that he seems to contradict himself rather often.

Is there any good secondary literature to help me grasp him?

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 12 17:08:37 2018 No.10686117 Read the wikipedia article about him and the specific articles on his work

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 12 17:09:41 2018 No.10686123 >>10686117 This seems like a really bad idea

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 12 17:10:22 2018 No.10686126 >>10686115 I've always seen Nietzsche as a fucked up prophet who was in private competition with God. God won, it turns out.

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 12 18:17:27 2018 No.10686453 >>10686147 Plus, Nietzsche isn't particularly dense or anything. His texts aren't even that long. No reason not to just read him.

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 12 18:36:44 2018 No.10686559 >>10686093 Start with Thus Spake Zarathustra.
