Why did he like Spinoza so much? Any books/scholarly articles about the connection between them?

Because people only dislike Spinoza (pbuh) if they aren’t actually alive or human, and Nietzsche for all his faults was actually alive unlike say Hume

“I am utterly amazed, utterly enchanted! I have a precursor, and what a precursor! I hardly knew Spinoza: that I should have turned to him just now, was inspired by “instinct.” Not only is his overtendency like mine—namely to make all knowledge the most powerful affect—but in five main points of his doctrine I recognize myself; this most unusual and loneliest thinker is closest to me precisely in these matters: he denies the freedom of the will, teleology, the moral world-order, the unegoistic, and evil. Even though the divergencies are admittedly tremendous, they are due more to the difference in time, culture, and science. In summa: my lonesomeness, which, as on very high mountains, often made it hard for me to breathe and make my blood rush out, is now at least a twosomeness. Strange! Incidentally, I am not at all as well as I had hoped. Exceptional weather here too! Eternal change of atmospheric conditions!—that will yet drive me out of Europe! I must have clear skies for months, else I get nowhere. Already six severe attacks of two or three days each!! — With affectionate love, Your friend”

read deleuze's works on spinoza, especially spinoza: practical philosophy. he basically reads spinoza through nietzsche

>> No.16856803

>>16856607
Nietzsche never even read Spinoza directly, only through secondary sources LOL

>> No.16856805

Deleuze's book on Spinoza is basically him reading Spinoza's philosophy through Nietzsche. I haven't read his book on Nietzsche but it might have more of the same.
