the fucking screech at the beginning blew my mind, thanks to this I have realized what life is and broke free of the shackles that are human consciousness.
This is a great find! Thanks for sharing... As what was said 'the whole of Zarathustra might perhaps be reckoned as music--certainly a rebirth of the art of hearing...
You see, that's what I'm talking about. Nietzsche closed himself in a bubble and by thinking he was superior to human kind he isolated himself, and ended up in madness. Life is not about that, life is about humility and participation.
"Nachtklang einer Sylvesternacht" performed by Elena Letnanova (piano) Kuniko Nagata (violin). It was a present to Richard Wagner's wife Cosima... and other friends.
@MrClockw3rk What do you think of the Olympics? A form created in ancient greek culture to achieve happiness, or to cope with the will to power? The will to overcome the other opponents? You should read the "Apollonian vs Dionysian" theory of Nietzsche. One of his first writings, but fairly a gate for ideas and thought. Maybe a considerable source to look into, regarding this discussion.
@MrClockw3rk If you read Nietzsche more, you'd know he didn't give man any framework because he believed frameworks were already in existence, but were torn apart by Christianity's advent. He praises the work of the Romans and their empire which he believed could have lasted another thousand years. He praises the Jewish people for their strength and determination. He praises the Moors of spain for their manliness and intellectuallity. Frameworks already existed. Modernity tore them down.
@MrClockw3rk That's a good point, so I don't understand why you have a problem with Nietzsche saying life is Will to Power. Everything you just said sounds like Will to Power. Nietzsche said that among the ancient Greeks, many of them were willing to sacrifice their lives for glory and honor; things that would live on after their death. What that said to him was that Will to Power was stronger than Will to Survive. What is your major disagreement with Nietzsche?
@cclarke10able I'm not sure why many people often come out with that kind of sentences about nietzsche being depressing ... How is that ?? Nietzsche spoke about strength and power, and stimulating the will to live through ecstatic moments of festivity What does people see as depressing in that ??
@tiakpark i have a problem with the idea that power is the most fundamental lens which which to view motivation. Sure, power is one model for describing it, but I don't believe it is the most powerful. It's subordinated to the need to justify existance - which isn't described using a power-centric model of human motivation. I only want power as a means to achieve specialness. It's a means to an end not an end itself. It's confusing causality with correlation (post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy).
@mongoliafab yeah im familiar with his model for that, and I think that's a useful way to describe the conflicting desires of man. I'll also agree that the creation of the Olympics can be described as an outlet for a will to power. But, I still believe that will is a subset of a more fundamental need: meaning. Competition is still a tool to create a unique identity through achievements (we wouldn't compete if it didn't prove something about our worth to ourselves or others)
@Peteromich in a nutshell, my problem with Nietzsche's is that he believes men's wills can be summed up as the most raw denominator of the most ancient area of our brain (the amygdala). He shows us the strength of anger, passion, competition, manipulation and force while minimizing by implication the value of group intelligence, cooperation, virtue and trust.
@RATMW Perhaps this difference in opinion is caused by your genuine interest in philosophy. I'm an english major, and yes philosophy and literature are integral, but you probably have more experience on it. Not having read Nietzsche and only understanding the significance it held in history, especially when it came at a time where the British Empire was collapsing, seemed so significant to me. I'll trust your recommendation and check Cioran out.
@tiakpark and yes, I do genuinely think Nietzsche was mediocre, especially in terms of what intellectual tools he gave humanity to progress. His work mostly tears down descent conceptual frameworks, yet, he proposes very few frameworks himself. The importance of that fact i think is extreme. The hardest thing for an intellectual to do is create a viable conceptual framework. It is intellectually minor to rip apart concepts that inevitably have holes. Strong intellectuals propose models.
@tiakpark the nihilism you mentioned comes from ppl failing to find meaning when they instead should be creating it by producing something that will live on in their place. This could be art, new theories or ways to think, businesses that produce products ppl would have never had access to (like microfinance institutions that help tens of thousands of poor people start a biz and earn their way out of poverty) etc. But most ppl dont produce, so they search, and they find products/entertainment
Will this be part of an eternal return? Is it relevant to the making of existential realizations that will lead to an epiphany of infinite consequences in my quest to save humanity from killing itself and destroying the planet? Perhaps the 'great' composers are just making us into narcissists whereas Nietzsche's compositions lead to a superior realm. Stay tuned.......
@tiakpark i dont think the problem is my reading of nietzsche. for all the qualities he praised, he said nothing of how to acquire them, which is the hard work. i would say that modernity has aided in the creation of probably more frameworks than it has torn down, or, more likely, replaced. but if as a student of philosophy and the humanities, you haven't looked for the existence or benefits of those frameworks, i could understand the misunderstanding of their value.
A friedrich nietzsche le paso lo mismo que a Iván de la novela ''Los hermanos Karamazov'' de Fiódor Dostoyevski .... se volvio loco. Y CREO QUE FUE POR LA MISMA CAUSA. Pero es raro que haya sido por eso cuando el leyo esa novela. Creo que eso sera motivo de estudio para mi, ya que o refutare mi tesis o la comprobare. =)
@RATMW He defined the idea. I'd like to see the texts that attempted to dismantle conventional society in the same manner Nietzsche did. Even if that were true, that's like saying Galileo is a shitty astronomer because Copernicus discovered the heliocentric model before him.
@MrClockw3rk Another thing I want to know is why you feel the need to divorce "meaning" from "power." Why divorce meaning from the work itself? Are they not one and the same? Even when people try to get one-up in an argument its still will to power. I know that because I saw on an earlier post that you said Nietzsche was "mediocre." That's a strong word. Are you absolutely sure you feel that way? Can you back up your arguments?
@LifeOfDelusion The lack of faith is not necessarily characteristic to the miserable, but rather to the one who aspires to learn, to surpass the bounds set by society, and to surpass the leeches, the drones all stumbling for a quick buck at the expense of their own humility.
@henseltetude he abandoned metaphysical thought later. he tried to solve nihilism with the greek tragedy. but because the only world that exists is the apparent one he had to abandon that idea.
@RATMW and Freud wasn't a bad philosopher or psychologist. It would come that certain things he said were wrong, but from that sprung great innovations in the field of psychology. Without Freud, we probably would have figured women a weak sex for a great while longer.
With that specific quote, Nietzsche intended it as metaphorical, not literal. When he says "God is Dead" he means to say what god stood for is dead in the era and in europe.
what are we,whats the purpose of this life we consume,i see corpses of the living dead,no meaning at all,no meaning at all to this behemoth silhouette of confusion and chaos.
@RATMW That's not what I asked for, but I guess what I ask for is irrelevant. I find the idea that life is futile and what value that exists within it is a manifestation of the individual pretty fuckin' interesting. Being a master of your destiny, something that's quite the opposite of that Gracian quote, is pretty enlightening, and better yet, challenges religion and society. Nietzsche deserves credit for his contribution to Nihilism.
@MrClockw3rk Read Thus Spoke Zarathustra and tell me if that's not a source of infinite intellectual strength. I have enjoyed this conversation more than you know. You're definetly smart, but I hope you don't stop asking questions, particularly on what you believe. I began reading Nietzsche because I ask myself a lot of painful questions that modern society has no answer to. And know that just because I say man has no meaning in of itself it doesn't mean I'm misantrhopic. Misanthropy is a vice
@tiakpark as for progress, while i dont think i could define every aspect of it in detail in a youtube post, i think it would be ridiculous to claim nobody has any idea of what that is or whether we achieving it in some ways. Humans are more intelligent than previous generations and the proof is the quality of healthcare, the moral landscape of society, institutions for opportunity like schools etc. I don't think that's even worth debating.
@MrClockw3rk Single celled lifeforms don't look for meaning, they look for sustenance. This is true for all life and all things that exist in the universe; they were at this long before man's crude thinking processes ever came into being. Inasmuch as Nietzsche was a philosopher, he also understood that philosophy itself is decidant. It may be an act by a weak organism to vicariously live out its fantasies.
@tiakpark and i disagree that people who look for meaning necessarily exhibit herd behavior or complacency towards being used as raw materials. There are plenty of people, like myself, who create meaning for themselves by producing (such as building a business), without either becoming a cog or requiring cogs to operate that business. Yet, I still want meaning, and for me, power is one method of achieving it. Others include civil service, the pursuit of knowledge in the sciences etc.
i aldo dont think he considered himself superman. He did mention that he was leaving behind concepts in hopes a further generation...so he might consider himself the farmer couple that raised Superman (i had too) but not the spandex man himself (its a joke I know their different people bear with me)
wait a minute, Nietzsche wrote music??? i thought he only wrote songs, like lyrics i mean. I don't recall ever reading in his own books that he was a composer.
he never claimed to be a philosopher you know... he was just a guy that wrote what he percived. If you comprehend his context you can understand why he had such vision of love. He attacked love but also defended it in different areas. His idea of compasion is not to be understood directly...
@MedusaFrauVenus Offtopic, but I just have to admit that you have quite a flattering channel. According to your explicite hatred towards different races and points of view, I deduce that you obviously haven't learned a thing from all those philosophers you've mentioned. Except maybe, Plato. If you have trouble with comprehending Nietzsche, try Heidegger's interpretations of the key points of Nietzsche's philosophy: revaluation of all values, destruction, the overman, nihilism etc.
Nietzsche meant that man no longer NEEDS God (the one from the Bible) to give him value. Man finds values in other ways, apart from the Judeo-Christian tradition.
@MedusaFrauVenus Have you ever wondered that, maybe, you couldn't finish one of his books because you, let's say, lack in some basic cognitive powers that differ humans from apes? It's not like I'm judging you, but your beautiful channel says it all. Kisses.
@tiakpark Firstly if philosophy and, by association, the debates around philosophy (like this one) are an act, then we are both doing some great acting. secondly, we aren't single celled lifeforms. read up on maslow's hierarchy - people's drives depend on their socio-economic status, their level of freedom, their level of intellectual and emotional development etc. As an example, people in concentration camps probably don't create much art or do much philosophizing. people are not 1 dimensional
@mongoliafab yes, i believe it is a joke, because power isn't the fundamental requirement of happiness. men want meaning more than they want power. picture a man with infinite power all by himself - you would witness sadness. men want meaning and meaning is social. people want to be special. power is only one way to achieve meaning, so the will to power gives us only a secondary understanding of the will of men. its like saying all men want money - it's true but it doesn't tell us much.
@tiakpark i call him mediocre as a way to point out that there are far more admirable sources of intellectual strength and determination. It makes perfect sense to me that you wouldn't think of Karl Marx as mediocre since he bothered to propose a model (regardless of its correctness) rather than simply tear down capitalism from the sidelines. I also don't agree with Karl Marx, but im much more inclined to respect his efforts.
@danieljliversLXXXIX i understand why he thought the denial of life now for a life to come was nihilism......that is a fair point, but it all depends on whether you believe what Jesus said to be true. Also, theres a lot of things you dont have to deny yourself, you can still enjoy your life.....when Jesus said 'to gain your life you first have to lose it' he meant losing all the bad things and giving up time for other people, if you follow this principle you'll find your life will improve
@MrClockw3rk And also, you say people aren't necessarily driven by herd behavior or complacency, and yet you say a person's socio-economic status determines their level of intellectual growth. That's seem kinda like a double-standard. Are people free or not? Are they play things of the world or do they have a will of their own?
@Baseliner smited?... 'good'..... 'man'.... "off with you clown".... "dare not"..... did you just come from a renaissance fair or something? I think your metal helmet is picking up radio waves from space.
@tiakpark everyone is to some extent driven by the herd mentality, but that's different than saying everyone is driven just as often, just the same way, and in all the same cases. sometimes relying on the info of others is good, sometimes bad, and so the goal of intellectual would be to help society tell the difference. but the hard work is proposing a model for how one should think that's better than the current model. i don't believe nietzsche achieves that in any remarkable way.
I have actually just begun "Thus Spoke Zarathustra"; Anyhow, anybody who knows anything about Fred knows that he could be quite contradictory in his views on individualism and in politics. Any credible historian will tell you that he in no way was a particular fan of Germany, especially with what it was turning into at that time.1 word:German propaganda. You didn't answer my (?),If (Prussian, not actually German) Nietzsche makes you feel proud, how does Hitler make you feel sweetie?
@MrClockw3rk Your belief that "meaning" is more important than power is merely an anthropocentric one. Again, other forms of life from the simplist to the more complex don't search for meaning, they search for ways to repliacte themselves. Eternal Return understood as the will to procreate. Don't got me wrong, I love man because he can give meaning to himself, but man has no meaning in of himself, not anymore than any other animal. "Meaning" is a human conceit, and an egocentric one at that.
@WhitePolishPatriot No he wasn't. He just claimed to be descended from Polish nobility because he thought it sounded cool. Also, this music is pretty decent for a non-composer. Better than Karl Jenkins
great man nietzsche is one of my favorite philosophers of all time
That's beautiful. Thank you for putting this together. I'd never heard that before.
I love his music as much as I adore his writings.
R.I.P. Friedrich Nietzsche
fred neitzsche was was one of the most brilliant men of all time
the fucking screech at the beginning blew my mind, thanks to this I have realized what life is and broke free of the shackles that are human consciousness.
"those who will understand my works will belong to future generations"
This is a great find! Thanks for sharing...
As what was said 'the whole of Zarathustra might perhaps be reckoned as music--certainly a rebirth of the art of hearing...
I love Nietzsche.
This song is wonderful!!
This is Beautiful. A tragic life from a tragic mind.
"That which doesn't kill me, turns immediately into mustache".
Beautiful
Wow, really interesting music...i never knew he wrote.
Wonderful mind
Great!!
Excellant video
impresionante!!!
One of greatest mind ever.
i love you Nietzsche
Yes, an interpretation of Nietzche's philosophy, which, as was just stated, is open to interpretation.
You see, that's what I'm talking about. Nietzsche closed himself in a bubble and by thinking he was superior to human kind he isolated himself, and ended up in madness. Life is not about that, life is about humility and participation.
linda música.
"Nachtklang einer Sylvesternacht" performed by Elena Letnanova (piano) Kuniko Nagata (violin). It was a present to Richard Wagner's wife Cosima... and other friends.
I can't stop staring at his mustache! It's just so...
Are there any violin-piano sonatas by Netzscheor are transcriptions from cello-piano sonatas?I remembered heard before,with violin,so splendid!
poicpi
@MrClockw3rk What do you think of the Olympics? A form created in ancient greek culture to achieve happiness, or to cope with the will to power? The will to overcome the other opponents? You should read the "Apollonian vs Dionysian" theory of Nietzsche. One of his first writings, but fairly a gate for ideas and thought. Maybe a considerable source to look into, regarding this discussion.
If Nietzsche were alive today, I bet he'd be a fan of RnB music or something.
@TheAmrator totally amazing haha :)
Nietzsche, SAINT!
Lots of ppl don't know this, but Nietzsche was a musician and studied music as a kid, long before he went on to study philosophy.
@TheTerendul No, I've read some of his stuff before.
Yes, he did.
I now see he was also a good musician
@MrClockw3rk If you read Nietzsche more, you'd know he didn't give man any framework because he believed frameworks were already in existence, but were torn apart by Christianity's advent.

@cclarke10able
I'm not sure why many people often come out with that kind of sentences about nietzsche being depressing ...
How is that ??
Nietzsche spoke about strength and power, and stimulating the will to live through ecstatic moments of festivity
What does people see as depressing in that ??
Better writer and thinker than composer though... efforts in his day = applauded, but books = still relavant today.

@TheTofuGod Oh god im laughing.
but....gods dead so nevermind
After reading several comments here...I doubt many people understand what nihilism is...
@TheDavid2222 What in bloody hell is that supposed to mean?
ok thanks 4 telling me. So do you have any idear where I can get his music??? or what the titles are??
Greetz from Holland
wait a minute, Nietzsche wrote music??? i thought he only wrote songs, like lyrics i mean. I don't recall ever reading in his own books that he was a composer.
@AdventOctober you mean 0:05 ?
he never claimed to be a philosopher you know... he was just a guy that wrote what he percived. If you comprehend his context you can understand why he had such vision of love. He attacked love but also defended it in different areas. His idea of compasion is not to be understood directly...

@khattamshud painful indeed
@tiakpark Firstly if philosophy and, by association, the debates around philosophy (like this one) are an act, then we are both doing some great acting. secondly, we aren't single celled lifeforms. read up on maslow's hierarchy - people's drives depend on their socio-economic status, their level of freedom, their level of intellectual and emotional development etc. As an example, people in concentration camps probably don't create much art or do much philosophizing. people are not 1 dimensional
It sounds more like a violin than a violoncello.
@mongoliafab yes, i believe it is a joke, because power isn't the fundamental requirement of happiness. men want meaning more than they want power. picture a man with infinite power all by himself - you would witness sadness. men want meaning and meaning is social. people want to be special. power is only one way to achieve meaning, so the will to power gives us only a secondary understanding of the will of men. its like saying all men want money - it's true but it doesn't tell us much.

Again, other forms of life from the simplist to the more complex don't search for meaning, they search for ways to repliacte themselves. Eternal Return understood as the will to procreate. Don't got me wrong, I love man because he can give meaning to himself, but man has no meaning in of himself, not anymore than any other animal.
"Meaning" is a human conceit, and an egocentric one at that.
Fredrich Nietszche composed this?
Did anybody else shit their pants at 00:5
@WhitePolishPatriot No he wasn't. He just claimed to be descended from Polish nobility because he thought it sounded cool.
Also, this music is pretty decent for a non-composer. Better than Karl Jenkins
