O Anticristo/Ecce Homo/Nietzsche Contra Wagner
«Neste ano derradeiro da sua actividade, as grandes oposições da filosofia de Nietzsche ficam assim com contornos definitivos e para a posteridade permanecerá a figura inteira do filósofo maldito que não abdicou da talvez mais forte iconoclastia produzida pela nossa cultura contra os seus próprios fundamentos. O seu sistema de contrários pode agora resumir-se a dois pares incontornáveis: Dioniso contra Cristo e Nietzsche contra Wagner. Limitada por estes pares decorre toda a sua interpretação dos valores, da genealogia da moral, da história do cristianismo e da pulsão pelo verídico que estrutura o niilismo, a interpretação da luta contra a indiferenciação e a defesa de um tipo nobre ou a defesa da expressão global da vida.»

About the author
Friedrich Nietzsche
4,297 books25.4k followersFriedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German classical scholar, philosopher, and critic of culture, who became one of the most influential of all modern thinkers. He began his career as a classical philologist before turning to philosophy. He became the youngest person to hold the Chair of Classical Philology at the University of Basel in 1869 at the age of 24, but resigned in 1879 due to health problems that plagued him most of his life; he completed much of his core writing in the following decade. In 1889, at age 44, he suffered a collapse and afterward a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and probably vascular dementia. He lived his remaining years in the care of his mother until her death in 1897 and then with his sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche. Nietzsche died in 1900, after experiencing pneumonia and multiple strokes.
Nietzsche's work spans philosophical polemics, poetry, cultural criticism, and fiction while displaying a fondness for aphorism and irony. Prominent elements of his philosophy include his radical critique of truth in favour of perspectivism; a genealogical critique of religion and Christian morality and a related theory of master–slave morality; the aesthetic affirmation of life in response to both the "death of God" and the profound crisis of nihilism; the notion of Apollonian and Dionysian forces; and a characterisation of the human subject as the expression of competing wills, collectively understood as the will to power. He also developed influential concepts such as the Übermensch and his doctrine of eternal return. In his later work, he became increasingly preoccupied with the creative powers of the individual to overcome cultural and moral mores in pursuit of new values and aesthetic health. His body of work touched a wide range of topics, including art, philology, history, music, religion, tragedy, culture, and science, and drew inspiration from Greek tragedy as well as figures such as Zoroaster, Arthur Schopenhauer, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Richard Wagner, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
After his death, Nietzsche's sister Elisabeth became the curator and editor of his manuscripts. She edited his unpublished writings to fit her German ultranationalist ideology, often contradicting or obfuscating Nietzsche's stated opinions, which were explicitly opposed to antisemitism and nationalism. Through her published editions, Nietzsche's work became associated with fascism and Nazism. 20th-century scholars such as Walter Kaufmann, R.J. Hollingdale, and Georges Bataille defended Nietzsche against this interpretation, and corrected editions of his writings were soon made available. Nietzsche's thought enjoyed renewed popularity in the 1960s and his ideas have since had a profound impact on 20th- and early 21st-century thinkers across philosophy—especially in schools of continental philosophy such as existentialism, postmodernism, and post-structuralism—as well as art, literature, music, poetry, politics, and popular culture.

September 15, 2020I count myself among the privileged few, for it has taken me but 23 years to be born anew. Verily, all great works pale when bathed by the light of Zarathustra.

Quanto ao Anticristo, o resumo do ensaio está no título. Por sua vez, Ecce Homo é uma espécie de ensaio com o resumo da obra Nietzschiana. Nietzsche contra Wagner deve ser lido sob a perspetiva "Kanye contra Taylor Swift".

Gostei não, pelo menos me diz coisas que não condizem com a verdade. Mas pode ser util pra justificar as ideias de alguém.

Uma visão não ortodoxa sobre religião.

Li O Anticristo e pouco mais. Com um discurso odioso e intolerante para todo o tipo de pessoa - expecto o homem branco e intelectual pois claro - persisti na leitura do Anticristo devido às ocasionais pérolas de sabedoria.
Ecce Homo por outro lado começa com este episódio de humildade extrema: "Com ele (Zaratustra), fiz à humanidade a maior dádiva que até agora lhe foi feita. Este livro, com uma voz que se eleva por cima dos milénios, não é apenas o maior livro que existe, o genuíno livro da atmosfera das alturas – a realidade integral do homem encontra-se abaixo dele a uma distância imensa – é também o mais profundo, nascido da mais íntima riqueza da verdade, o poço inesgotável a que nenhum alcatruz desce sem vir à superfície cheio de ouro e de bondade"
E com isto pousei o livro, pensei para mim mesma uns quantos adjectivos nada simpáticos quanto ao carácter do Nietzsche e passei à frente.
Ler este livro foi um exercício em paciência e, ironicamente, tolerância pela intolerância e arrogância de um homem que todos parecem adorar. Talvez estes ensaios não seriam o inicio ideal na travessia da literatura "Nietzschiana" mas confesso que perdi o interesse em sequer recomeçar.

Autobiografia de Nietzsche, mas ele discorre muito menos de si mesmo do que de suas obras e da aversão que tem do cristianismo e da Alemanha da sua época. Infelizmente, fala muito superficialmente da relação com os familiares e quase nada da infância. Livro curto, mas denso demais. Fiquei atônita e bastante reflexiva desde que terminei ontem à noite e continuo quase 24h depois. Acho que é necessário muita coragem pra efetivamente ler Nietzsche (no sentido de internalizar e refletir).
