Which philosophers are more profound and wise than Nietzsche regarding the philosophy of life? His concepts such as will to power, eternal recurrence and amor fati are very life affirming for me, and I wonder if there are other philosophers who are even more powerful than him. I also want to know what are the flaws in Nietzsche's philosophy.

literally none

Nietzsche was such a loser in his personal life, especially with all that shit with Lou Andreas Salome. Decent enough but u gotta take his philosophy w a grain of salt. if u haven't read Plato, there's that famous saying that all of Western philosophy is a footnote to Plato, and it's true. For contemporary philosophers, Alan Watts provides a lot of life-affirming ideas from Eastern philosophy. I've found that fans of Nietzsche tend to like Watts too.

hegel and all the german idealists are affirming of harsh retarded morality/ statehood. marx tried ditching this, but didn't do a very good job


>>22040084
Neesha is the peak, which is why he is praised. Deleuze and kierkegaard are the only ones to really come close. Seneca as well. Spinoza is an honorary mention.

I would focus on deeply understanding the things you've read as well as branching out though

He's looking for LIFE AFFIRMING philosophies not philosophies that are gonna want to make him jump of a bridge and fucking kill himself. Camus and Sartre are depressing fucks

I was just thinking this too, it's a lot of tyranny good, really it could even just be seen as purely negative depending on how innocent you are. It's too connected to cycles of negative so you really don't know what you're getting involved in with egos that inflated and certainly it's only for people who think they're something and there's a powerful dark side especially to tyranny good.

also it's just cringe, allen watts is definitely more human but he is what he is, also these things have a madness to them that catch on that you have to be careful with and that's what people are after with eachother
