Response to I have read his philosophy.... |
| What makes you say that i love Nietzche? I never said that. The only thing i'm saying is that i belive that some of his concepts are true. Of course Hitler was inspired by Nietzche's philosophy, but that doesn't mean that Nietzche is responsable for all the damage Hitler made to the world. With all great discoveries come great destructions. For example if we wouldn't have had Einstein, we wouldn't have the atomic bomb today. Does this make Einstein responsable for the Hiroshima bombing ? Another example is the birth of comunism. Do you hold Marx and Engles responsible ? The only person i hold responsible is Lenin, and... in this case, Hitler, not Nietzche. If you think that Nietzche had no sense of morality, let me tell you something. He didn't even publish his greatest works. His wife did when he was in a wheel chair. I think that indeed he had morality and he was aware of the damage he could cause. Every amount of knowlege that we gain leads to both good and bad. I haven't become an atheist after reading Nietzche's "The Antichrist". I was an atheist many years before that, and it had no conection to Nietzche. If you want a quote that i find true, here is one:
"religion has corrupted even the faculties of those natures that are intellectually most vigurous, by representing the highest intellectual values as sinful, as misleading, ass full of temptation"
