I agree, I think secondary literature can be helpful but some things have to be experienced and interpreted by yourself.
Nietzsche was a big believer in being your own master and not listening to what some intellectual might have in store for you. He also didn't believe in anyone truly being able to understand another. We can never live life through someone else and therefore never fully understand them.

Any biography of pic related. I'm reading "Napoleon the Great" right now and it's absolutely fantastic, if you don't mind the pro-Napoleon bias (if you couldn't guess from the title already.)

Probably also the Four Gospels, and a Goethe biography. Jesus, Goethe, and Napoleon (and Wagner to some extent) are probably the four individuals Nietzsche had in mind that came closest to his concept of the Übermensch.

Nietzsche's philosophy doesn't stand perpendicular to christian morals, he only advocated that people create their own moral framework and value structure (selfishness is one of the 'bad' moral frameworks). Dostoevsky showed that murder, although expedient, isn't helpfull in the long run, lest we forget he was an orthodox christian and an existentialist.

>> No.12071548

>>12071507
Yes I know all of that. But what exactly has that novel got to do with Nietszche and the Ubermensch ideal? And how the fuck did Dosto show that murder is unhelpful? By making up a fictional story about a guy too weak to even get away with killing?

>> No.12071572

>>12071548
Oh shit now I understand: maybe that guy recommended C&P to understand how it might feel to kill someone when you have grown up with Christian morals and then they all backfire and retaliate against you after you've broken their rule. Now I get it.

not at all, Raskolnikov does not repent his deeds, and it's cleary stated by him that he would do it once more if he could get away consequences. Not to mention Nietzsche read and admire Dostoyevsky.

>> No.12071605

The idea of the overman precludes helping the weak, they're a platform for a new elite caste not a project for benevolence to manifest itself on Earth.

Nietzsche didn't have any beliefs, that's the point of perspectivism.

>>12071507
>perpendicular
it just precludes morality altogether and he polemicizes against: guilt, shame, mercy as anything other than an overabundance of security in a race's capacity to withstand parasitism, sympathy and pity along with any form of idealism or overt concern with introspection which implies a misconception regarding process and substance (the Self as a process, an evanescence of the Will to Power, and not a static soul or substance which has a moral status). Nothing in this is compatible with Christian soteriology, ethics or ontology.

>> No.12071608

>>12071587
Yes and he ends up having a bad time. Someone who really didn't regret his deed would not suffer like Raskolnikov

>> No.12071692

>>12071608
Raskolknikov's thinking is clear exemplification of 'will to power' in action minus the utilitarianism part. The sole error of Raskolnikov thinking was that at the end he couldn't lift the burden of guilt. And once more he said he didn't regret the deed !!! I suggest you to read it once more as well WIll to Power itself.

>> No.12079658

The overman isn't just some badass egoist in the current moral framework. God may be dead, but the new world isn't here yet. The moral guidance Nietzsche gives (Amor fati, eternal return) isn't the morality of the overman, it's the morality that enables some of us to stray away from the herd, and to endure it, so that we may eventually open a way to the new, fully naturalized world. If you have in mind that reading Nietzche will stop that feeling of anxiety and existential dread, you're absolutely wrong. Nietzsche doesn't want you to be comfortable.
