Really appreciate the clarity in this video around Nietzsche’s philosophy, & the connection made between his philosophy & psychoanalysis is quite superb & intensely relevant for this era , I think. The visuals are so well streamlined, complimentary to the audio and enjoyable to watch . Well done and many thanks . Am looking forward to the next video !

Really helpful summary of his thought, especially the part about decadence, a term which forever seems to elude my understanding. I've also never come across his definition of the modern state of man as physiological self- contradiction. My attempt at a summary would be that our modern state consists of a struggle between the intellect's morality and reason and one's physiological drives. Assuming this is a condition we are basically stuck with I am left wondering if there is any use in dwelling on such a notion. I can't imagine life without such a struggle to be honest. Or maybe I am missing something.

Aye that's not a bad summary bbosch. I'll be diving into it all deeper in the next episode but I do think it's important to diagnose the issue and that's really where I think Jung took up the Nietzschean baton - the need to find a resolution or at least a way for the conscious reason and the unconscious instincts to coexist. Too much of one and there's regressive savagery too much of the other there's sterility and meaninglessness

At the risk of sounding like a simpleton, I feel that this lines up pretty well with Aristotelian virtue ethics or a type of middle way middle way approach to life. Almost like trying to beat a path through a winding valley. It won't be straight but you've avoided the excess inclines on either side and managed to stay on the relatively flat and stable ground.

Yeah, he's not too famous, and also not too prolific. Though still he's important for the development of many later thinkers. _Ego and his own_ is his magnum opus, to sum it up briefly: it's about freeing oneself from serving others (persons, ideas, ideology, morals, institutions..) and from supression of desires.

Joseph Conrad referenced Nietzsche in a few of his works. In "Heart of Darkness" the infamous Kurtz (a German name, mind you) is a very Nietzschean character. The book was published in 1899 - at that time poor Nietzsche had been lying sick in bed for several years. That's probably why Kurtz is also found stricken with illness and carried around on stretchers. He very clearly is a type of ubermensch, too. Conrad refers to Kurtz as a "universal genius" - essentially a great musician, and a journalist, poet and painter. Nietzsche also tried his hand at writing classical music, some poetry and lots of various essays. (Conrad also refers to H. G. Wells' "War of the Worlds" mocking the idea there could be intelligent life in Mars - the book was published one year before "Heart of Darkness", he actually respected Wells other than that). References to Nietzsche are a lot more clear and unambiguous in "The Secret Agent" - written several years after Nietzsche's death. Both Stevie and the Professor are sort of like two aspects of Nietzsche - Stevie screaming at the sight of a flogged horse for example. The Professor is especially clear here, the son of a pastor who - like Nietzsche - abandoned theological studies to embrace the device "No God, no Masters". The Professor says this in the final chapter: "Let that be the hope of the weak, whose theology has invented hell for the strong." - that's almost a quote from Nietzche's "Beyond Good and Evil". He walks around always carrying explosives in his pocket - probably a tongue-in-cheek reference to Nietzche's famous "I'm not a man, I'm dynamite". The reason why Conrad disliked Nietzsche and his philosophy might have been the fact that he lost both of his parents to the struggle for Poland's independence (I suppose you know that Conrad was Polish).

By the way, I think I've just found another interesting reference in "Heart of Darkness". You see, traders in Africa obtained ivory from the native people in exchange for all sorts of valueless trinkets. Marlow describes a certain event in Chapter 1. "One evening a grass shed full of calico, cotton prints, beads, and I don’t know what else, burst into a blaze so suddenly that you would have thought the earth had opened to let an avenging fire consume all that trash." Compare that with this quote from the Book of Job ch. 15 v. 34-35 "fire shall consume the tents of extortioners. They conceive malice, bring forth deceit, give birth to fraud"

I see the championing of *instincts* and the championing of values as an impossible paradox. Do we have an instinct to create values? Do seagulls create values? The urge to create values comes wholly from the society. And, at the end of the day, there is no difference between a moral and value. They are one and the same. I wish N. would of had the courage to embrace nihilism, but this was impossible for Nietzsche, the bourgeois professor.

@Lindy-Beth Actor interesting response. Personally I'm inclined towrads taking a developmental lens to decadence but in Nietzsche case he doesn't (one of his unexpected moves that endears him so much to me). He sees morality and excessive reason as an unnecessary off ramp from the highway of instinctual harmony. Greek tragedy was high civilisation but it wasn't decadent - it expressed the instincts without letting them overflow in lasciviousness or savagery. Though I think he does admit with his idea of the order of rank that this isn't possible for the mass populace and only for a small number (his single and individual reader to use Kierkegaard's turn of phrase). So it's more that the moral and mental values _are_ the decay rather than being an indicator of it. Very idiosyncratic use of the term decadence which is why it fascinates me so much
