I'm sorry Eva. I do not sense any philosophy in your piece, except what you quote.

It is a nice biographical piece though. But I fear it is a rather shallow comment on N. It describes a surface, hardly evocative unless one is a novelist.

I was hoping for more. It seems you describe what anyone who has read anything of N could glean.

I liked the essay about this topic though it had some few bugs, what you would like to see on a Nietzsche fan-post. It ironically contrasted to the vision written in "Thus spoke Zarathustra" then Z shook his head on a followers remark about how to translate him or interpret to his followers. :D

For instance, you cannot say that N was bisexual by any means, because like Kierkegaard he avoided any trial to label him. He would be rather anti-antibisexual like he was anti-antisemitic in nature avoiding any link with Natzis and hating the fiancee of his sister. He never wanted to be somebodys Christ if you know what I mean :wink: For that reason there is no need to capitalize on N feminine side, it was as it was and N did what he had to find a reason to live in this unreasonable world. He also was wery masculine deriving it from such bible-prophets like Amos and Hosea or Elisa, who sent a bear against a crowd of liddle children for mocking him pale-head. N just liked such contradictorys :wink: As ju put out in your essay...

In his book "Thus spoke Zarathustra" he added the underlining "Written to all and nobody" He was talking to all who there able to read and think and talk and be silent like him and not to be followers as are the contemporary Christian in N and K times He didnt wish to be followed or even remembered, but to think aloud by himself without the pretext of a religion; politics; culture, or whatsoever. :P

Still I find your essay the best I have read on this topic, so thanks for the effort to atleast try it out and succeed rather than not try and coment on others failing... :twisted: :mrgreen:
