I am troubled by using tt as well. You Tube will suffice. Plus the Biden administration has advised Americans to not use tt. Now I hesitate going to the podcast.
Current relations with China are too difficult to use tt; Taiwan, Ukraine, even the Aleutian Islands are reasons for this limited sanction. Too cozy with Russia, today's bete noir.
The Genealogy is really good to start from because it's way more straightforward than most of his books. Zarathustra seems even more interesting but maybe only truly readable after going through both of these, and possibly Twilight and Antichrist too
I've actually started to study Nietzsche quite recently and have picked up Human, All Too Human, which is a bit later in his work. Maybe I'll take a look at these earlier texts too, they seem really intereseting!
So cool, I watched this a few days ago and that night, it was quite late, and I struggled to sleep. I picked up my current read, Alain de Botton’s ‘The Art of Travel’, and the very next page (p112) I find a reference to the same philosophical view from Nietzsche. Now that’s a sign….. Guess I’m off to buy some Nietzsche.
On the Use and Abuse of history for Life Nietzsche is invoking Cerberus but he doesn’t tell you. And that essay sets the tone for all of his work. He was a pure satirist. Brilliant stuff.
I know your edition of Unfashionable Observations. Stanford University Press is doing a wonderful job of retranslating all this published and unpublished works.
Good morning Dr. Ellie. I always love your videos. Anyway, I really need your words right now. It is now a political year in my country; Indonesia. A popular speaker who has been into philosophy for a half of his life, has narrated an offensive and insulting statement to government that brought him into court. He claims himself as Kantian. He doesn't join any political party, but speak louder than any of politician here. Pro and cons occured and people don't know whom to stand with. Almost everyday, medias shouted about this case this week. You maybe have opinion about this? Appreciate any feedback. Thank you.
Dive in and struggle. Nietzsche is best read in doses because a lot of what he is saying has to be practiced. Beyond Good and Evil was a great way of understanding how morality and religion are not one in the same. That being moral means-to a certain degree-questioning doctrine as well as practices.
I started with the Gay Science as people seem to suggest that, unlike his previous text this one is more developed in terms of his ideas. He's not difficult to read but notoriously difficult to interpret
I think read the birth of tragedy and then the gay science if your starting out, but with Nietzsche it is just practice, that will make him make sense.
Hi Dr. Ellie, could you make a video talking about Ayn Rand's philosophy? I know she's not taken very seriously by many philosophers and it would be great to hear your insight into her philosophy.
I think DR Anderson is well aware of Thus Spoke Zarathustra and has good reason for her choice. Besides who wants to screw up their lives and be a Umbermunch (Nietzsches fantasy God replacement )
See the full video on TikTok @overthink_pod!
please repost all your content here on youtube shorts if you could - many of us are purposely off tiktok.

Please do more shorts like these for every philosopher.
Stay tuned 👀👀
The better ones at any rate.
i bet you took the experimental jabs . great philosopher. question everything 😅@@OverthinkPodcastPhilosophy
“On the Genealogy of Morals” and “Beyond Good and Evil” are the books that started my obsession with Nietzsche.
The Genealogy is really good to start from because it's way more straightforward than most of his books. Zarathustra seems even more interesting but maybe only truly readable after going through both of these, and possibly Twilight and Antichrist too
i started with those two in that order too and loved it

That book is literally a masterpiece! I'm currently reading it as well.
Thank you for this video
Amazing thank you so much
The book is also translated as "Untimely Meditations"
A chick thing
Thank you 🙏
Unfashionable Observations is such a great title
Sounds rare. Where to find in my library. They won’t have it.
@@stephenpowstinger733 it's available on some online book stores right nkw for anywhere between 10 and 20 dollars
@@stephenpowstinger733 It was also translated as "Untimely Meditations", and maybe that translation is available!
Do a video addressing Lukac's criticism of Nietzsche, please
Why?

hadnt even heard of this book before will seek it out
Thank you!
You are amazing, making philosophy more approachable for normies. It's not boring and needlessly complicated in your videos.
Hey Ellie! Could you please share your recording gear? I don't see a mic but this looks and sounds so much better than a phone!
Thank you

Good choice for a first read. However, I believe the title, Untimely Meditations, is more accurate to the structure, and ideas, of the book.
Yo entendí realmente a Nietzche cuando leí un ensayo de George Bataille. Fue hace muchos años.
Creo recordar que se llama "sobre Nietzche" en español.
What about "Schopenhauer as Educator"?
It's an essay in this book.

Am lucky I found your account
I started with the Greeks. I was never able to get past the preface.
Probably the smartest lady alive today.
I never even heard of those essays.
Untimely Meditations
You are now shown on r/Nietzsche.
I started with Zarathusta😭
I started with birth of tragedy, and it took 20 yrs to understand.
I started with the Gay Science as people seem to suggest that, unlike his previous text this one is more developed in terms of his ideas. He's not difficult to read but notoriously difficult to interpret
I think read the birth of tragedy and then the gay science if your starting out, but with Nietzsche it is just practice, that will make him make sense.
“Supposing the one selling my truths were a woman. What then?”
Interesting, i actually found this text much less aproachable than some of his other books (HATH, Gay Science, Twilight of the Idols...)
it seems to me that you dont take his writing seriously
The Antichrist, Twilight of the Idols and and then his other works.
Hi Dr. Ellie, could you make a video talking about Ayn Rand's philosophy? I know she's not taken very seriously by many philosophers and it would be great to hear your insight into her philosophy.
hey
read the antichrist then read thus spoke zarathustra
Start with Thus Spoke Zarathustra so you become an Ubermensch.....
I think DR Anderson is well aware of Thus Spoke Zarathustra and has good reason for her choice. Besides who wants to screw up their lives and be a Umbermunch (Nietzsches fantasy God replacement )
I started with thus spake in a time in which I craved my own death! But, that book sparked my love for life.
Thank you
