As a person who is not of native English speaking I really appreciate these videos which are simple to understand. I have been watching videos on your channel back and forth now decided to start from episode 1. Thanks
A week ago, I decided to go back to the start to fully appreciate all your work, and I have to say, I’ve never come across a better RUclips channel. I’ll keep you posted in the comments as I go along, but this is one of those gems where you just hope the algorithm does its thing and gets it out there for more people to see. Honestly, I find myself re-watching episodes because sometimes my mind wanders, but I don’t mind at all. It’s perfect to listen to at the gym, too-it really keeps me focused.
After a month of studying Nietzsche, specifically watching your podcast and reading some of the books I have written my first interpretation of Nietzsche and my personal takeaways. Like this is my first time learning about such difficult ideas and be able to understand it not good but decent enough to even attempt to put my understanding and thoughts into writing to a decent enough level i can pride myself on. I thank you for that.
God - Here I go again! Listening to this outstanding work again for the nth time. Just to keep grounded in Nietzsche's insights into the nature of existence. ...and your insights into Nietzsche and his philosophical project that bring him to life and shows his prophetic relavance to this very day. Seriously. This podcast changed my life. My entire understanding of the world and my place in it. Above all else how important embracing hardship is, and to find meaning in it. So I'll say it agin: Well done Keegan. Well done! Amore Fati!
Keegan, keeping it simple and clear, very understandable, Thank you from this older beat down man searching for life's answers as time is growing shorter, it's been a blast following the philosophers like I followed Baseball players 60 plus years earlier.
Philosophers and Vedic texts/teachers have been getting me through some particularly rough patches as I get settled into my early 30s. Grateful that I've gotten interested in them early on but also hope I live long enough to reread and understand from a different perspective of experience in 30-40 or so years! Hope you're doing well and continuing to immerse yourself in the wisdom of these giants from history 💙💜
I’m here after listening to your geof’s Faust video. I found that you were very articulate. I constantly argue with myself , contesting each and every thought because anything and everything can be opposed (even that statement) without knowing who neitz was , I’m excited to hear more about him in your other videos.
Of all of Nietzsche's ideas this is actually the one that resonated with me the most, even more than his more famous ideas like the overman or eternal return.
Thanks for your work! I'm learning to really appreciate Nietzsche's philosophical insights on his world view, altough I'm skeptical, if Nietzsche really didn't believe in some form of a metaphysical world, as in "also spoke Zarathustra" I interpret some statements as referring to something like reversed gnostizism Great and informative content, as everything I've seen so far on your channel!
@@untimelyreflections I do wanna pose a question. Should I read Nietzsche in a specific order or is that irrelevant? I currently have will to power, beyond good and evil and twilight of the gods/the antichrist.
A brilliant preface to Nietzsche. I've only recently discovered this podcast and am going back to the beginning. In case you do decide to interview anyone, I like guy who does the Weltgeist podcast, which I'm sure you know.
@@sempressfi Thanks, I know Living Philosophy, but not Overthink; I'll check it out. Weltgeist has become annoying with all the commercial ads, unfortunately. I like your nickname, by the way - Empress of something, presumably? S for spirit?
In an attempt to answer the first question, what makes a philosopher memorable? Off the top of my head, I’d say someone who’s thinking is original and challenging to prior/current ways of though that it is unable to be ignored. (Ignored = immediately or eventually read {I’m not sure yet how important it is that it be understood properly) by enough people to influence/change academia and perhaps beyond ie; legislation). How’s that for muddled and inelegant?
😂❤. Please look for Jiddu Krishnamurti talks. I would recommend you start with his book Freedom from the Known or The Challenge of change; or here free as audio in RUclips. All the best. Note. Although he was initiated as a Start of the East by the Theosophical Society JK woke midway the project and refused to be that Star, to be called a philosopher, teacher, guru on anything but preferred to be seen as ones mirror of themselves or a friend on the query of living but most importantly one that was to set man free from authority. Would you not want that?
Damn it, it's been five years since the time I thought about what makes a philosopher "memorable". What a stupid answer I gave back then! Значение философа определяется не по тому, насколько длинную дистанцию способна пройти его философия. И не потому, сколько за этой философией увязалось разумных животных (вроде профессоров философии), ее следует считать значимой, а философа великим. В сущности здесь не важны ни направление, ни цель, ни оказанное воздействие. Любой из этих критериев всегда можно оспорить или подыскать ему замену среди более подходящих критериев и обосновать такую перестановку, опираясь на какую-нибудь «другую» философию. Был ли Платон более велик, чем Аристотель, и в каком отношении оба они стояли к Пиррону и Сексту Эмпирику - нужно определять в каждом отдельном случае по-разному. Таким образом, значение философа определяется всегда по тому, кто его определяет. (The value of a philosopher is not determined by how long a distance his philosophy can travel. And not because of the number of intelligent animals (like professors of philosophy) tied behind this philosophy, it should be considered significant. In essence, the direction, the goal, and the impact are not important at all. Any of these criteria can always be challenged or replaced by more suitable criteria and justify such a rearrangement, relying on some "other" philosophy. Whether Plato was greater than Aristotle, and in what relation they both stood to Pyrrho and Sextus Empiricus - must be determined in each case differently. Thus, the meaning of a philosopher is always determined by the one who defines him).
I agree with Nietzsche on his criticism of metaphysics, and I agree God is dead. But only when it's in the context of the God and metaphysics Christianity (and other Abrahamic faiths) gave us Personally I tend to take a more pantheistic/monistic view of the divine which I like to see expressed through pagan language but this is all just an allegory for the mystical which can't be truly known and we aren't meant to philosophise about it we are just meant to live life to the fullest and when we do that we will feel and experience this divine energy in bursts I believe this way of thinking can explain consciousness and explain our desire for transcendence without us becoming life negating. Put it this way, what if the divine creator made us not to escape this life, but to live it. What if life is a gift and not a burden and what happens afterwards is both unknowable and irrelevant. Live virtuously and you will die happy and that's the best one can ask for. If God exists and He is just then He won't punish us for that, and if He doesn't exist then we can no longer waste any time we must seize the day, and if He exists and isn't just then fuck Him just live in defiance as Sisyphus did To quote Conan the Barbarian, *"Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!"*
@@untimelyreflectionsCitation? Because it’s a very stupid thing to say. It sounds like something his sister might have falsely attributed to him. She was a passionate Nazi.

Your comment about Schopenhauer at the 11;40 mark is crisp. The Metaphysical need! Identified by Schopenhauer as well as Kant!

"If my senses are feeding me a false reality, then there must be a real reality behind things."
Who said this? This is not a quote verbatim besides this podcast.
Thank you. This is the best analysis I have ever heard. I would never have picked any of that up unless I heard this.
Me neither I bet you’ve become a pro a year later😂.
I like this channel so much Im starting from the beginning. 🙏
Of all of Nietzsche's ideas this is actually the one that resonated with me the most, even more than his more famous ideas like the overman or eternal return.
I truly enjoy your way of interpretations. Crisp, subtle, broad and enjoyable. Cheers from the Himalayas😊

Bout to get started on the man in question again and I’m glad I found this podcast to kinda bounce ideas with his work. Gonna binge this podcast 😅
Welcome aboard!

Brilliant! Thank you!

Getting rid of metaphysics is like trying to take the red out of a rose, futile, but so too, the world would be less colourful
da nietzsche, bietzsche, alhamdullilah
Beginning my journey here. See you at the next eternal moment 🫡
Wilkommen!
Nietzsche said it is the struggle that ennobles, not the cause for which one struggles...
“You say it is the good cause that hallows even war? I say unto you: it is the good war that hallows any cause.”
