You are obviously very intelligent, in that being able to even know and understand that knowledge will change ones Outlook and perception, but also comprehending that anything you read, when read thoroughly with understanding, anything can change outlooks and perceptions for anybody. Picking a good author to read can be challenging, because it has been known to change man from a peasant of God, or his creation, to someone who is God, or his own creation. Be picky with anything you read, not only that, but also research the author and who he or she was as a person, and what it was they stood for, or stand for.

I don't think secondary texts are unnecessary or bad, but in "How to Read a Book" by Mortimer J. Adler, he explains that "reading more about an author than reading the author's actual work" is dangerous. What he recommends instead is using the method he outlines in the book to understand the book with only your own mind, elevating your understanding. Thinking for yourself. An answer derived from this effort is worth infinitely more than one given to you by another, even if it takes longer, and is more arduous.

I agree with you. As someone who began my love of Nietzsche by beginning with This Spoke Zarathustra with no prior knowledge of he or his philosophy. But... BUT now that I have dove deep into his social life/bio and read any and all text/watched any and all video sources, and have constantly seen/heard Nietzsche so completely misunderstood/represented that for someone like him, there is (at least in my opinion, for most individuals that's is) an exception here. I couldn't agree more with the video in this isolated context.... and with you generally speaking for literature in general

yea i never understood people who want to read interpretations of a writer's original work written by someone else unless it's an addendum, translation to another language or appendix. i feel like speculating is kinda lazy, like daydreaming... when you could instead be formulating your own ideas drawing on the original work as a framework that's already been established. i dunno, doing the later just seems more scientific of a process to me.

Most philosophy is difficult. But that doesn't mean you cannot do it. You'll struggle to understand most of the work the first time around but don't give up. Take notes and research concepts as you go through the primary works. I think going through secondary texts and biographies can add unnecessary bias. Just read, form your own beliefs, and then look at the secondary texts after.

Fantastic video. I’ve been fascinated by Nietzsche ever since I watched a documentary on him. I’m currently doing a deep dive in his work so that I can better understand how to make it fit into our currently reality and how I can use it to guide my life. Honestly, it feels great that I’ve stumbled upon a similar philosophy to Nietzsche before knowing about him. Feels like I found someone who finally understands me. Hah But anyways, the reading approach you’ve given is awesome. It’s usually the approach I take, but I also read summaries of the books and then find interpretations/analyses on KZitem before even diving into any text. This step is also useful for deciding whether a book is just fluff, stuff I already know and could be written in a short blog post or if it’s dense like Nietzsche’s books.

It might be better to start with the work that Nietzsche published last - The Antichrist (1888). That way one gets the full force of his neurotic polemic as well as his brilliant and poetic style. After that strange experience, the student would be well-prepared for Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1885). Also - if the student wishes a good and fast summary of The Antichrist, then skip to paragraph 62, the final paragraph. Then the student will know exactly what to expect in that famous book.

Your recommendation by Michael Tanner. I have bought this book. For me, it contains a lot of concepts/ ideas, 'isms' and so on, that are completely new to me. His book is very 'wordy' with a lot of it requiring further study. So yes you could read it in one day but potentially spend a lot more days understanding what it is actually saying to you with further research. I feel that it is not a beginner book, far from it, but is a deeply concise, word restricted dissertation style of writing. Tanner is likely sticking to his idea that Nietzsche is aphoristic 'few words, a lot of meaning' and followed suit in his intro book. A far better introductory book would be one which requires no additional research outside of the book (about subjects outside of Nietzsche) to get the 'jist' and an over-viewing understanding. For now, I've given up on reading further and going back to the stoic books, good old Seneca and so on. I might try and read it again one day, or at least find a more dumbed down introduction to start off.

I really wish I saw this video 5 years ago haha! What a short cut that would have been! I worked the opposite direction. I started my first few years being unable to understand _Zarathustra_ or _Beyond Good & Evil_ at all! Only after failing several attempts at reading either of them through, I resorted instead to online video essays, documentaries, and scholarly articles on Nietzsche for some sort of understanding. I then read through several university published introductory books, read the _Genealogy_ , and then the rest of the corpus from there. (still not done though with this last step) I always suggested _Dawn of Day_ as the best first book to read, but, looking back on it, I think your right *Weltgeist* . Secondary literature is absolutely paramount for background information, otherwise one *risks* misinterpretation. What makes Nietzsche's philosophy so volatile and dangerous is that he is very easily misinterpreted without context. The consequences of such a misunderstanding have been provably disastrous!

Consider Nietzsche's 1. Human, All Too Human work first, and then proceed to 2. Ecce Hom. as the Ecce book is close to an autobiography of the key pivotal travels, travails, observations on climate, art, music and Classical Greek and Roman philosophers that influenced him. Above all, an appreciation for all the nuances, subtleties, and distinguished tastes of Nietzsche takes time to contemplate. As Doyle Bruson said of playing high stakes poker, its a game that takes 15 minutes to learn but a lifetime to master. The prize is worth the effort a thousand fold as you will discover one of the worlds' most profound, daring, and courageous philosopher in this elite Navy Seal like intellectual trailblazer. Though he suffered in solitude and enduring pain for years, he triumphed over all as the "philosopher for the day after tomorrow" taking us all out on the leading edge, way beyond the hollow men of the philosophic old guard wasteland. Nietzsche's front sight focus and OODA Loop dynamic writing attack on all things decadent, in opposition to growth in self discovery of the will, results in a sublime intellectual tour de force. So turn on the CPU unit with the Intel semi. processor in your head, and get started ASAP with these two books,

Too many 'academic' interpretations (by unconsciously intellectually-tepid academics, who did, and never aspire to, in this case, 'over-go' intellectually themselves) of primary texts are...'colored' by the temperament and limits, obligation, and appetites of the intellectual, emotional, and psychological disposition of conventional 'academically' (too oft mistakenly confused with 'intellectually') 'inclined' minds who enable their egos by standing on the shoulders of giants (because they have nothing to offer themselves), to give you a transparent window into the primary text of an mind they are too much in awe of (or not) but do not participate in. If you've the ear for it, and the time to give over to it, forego secondary texts and go straight to the source; its hard enough for a primary text to suffer the translation as it is. Assume of course several traversals over several years, AND...an evolution of personal attribute and assessment.

I disagree with many of the recommendations here. Regarding the University Method, the university I attended started Nietzsche with Beyond Good & Evil, which is a terrible place to start…maybe even the worst. Background is extremely important, and I agree with the recommendation for Tanner (1994) and Kaufmann’s (1950) books, but Kaufmann’s book is old and lacking information; and Tanner’s book is mostly Tanner Contra Nietzsche. An invested reader would benefit highly from reading - Individuality & Beyond by Benedetta Zavatta, - Nietzsche Humanist, and - Nietzsche’s Naturalism (with the caveat to focus on the natural-scientific background provided and take lightly the author’s own agenda of making Nietzsche into a Neo-Kantian). And perhaps - Conversations with Nietzsche A Life in the Words of His Contemporaries, for an even better view of the actual human being behind the Mask. And I would suggest that a reader completely avoid: - Salome’s “Nietzsche” and - Anything by Heidegger Instead of the recommended list, read Nietzsche in chronological order…it is the only way to get a sense of the development of his thought and method over time…which is one of the main features of his work. So start with: - The Pre-Plantonic Philosophers - On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense - which essay you can read for free online. - Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks And then go from there. If you are going to read Zarathustra, most definitely get an annotated version (Kaufmann’s will do). While Zarathustra was Nietzsche’s self-purported “masterpiece,” it is a work of art, and can be hard to follow. Read Adrian Del Caro’s book “Grounding the Nietzsche Rhetoric of Earth” afterward. And remember that Nietzsche’s thought continued to develop very much after that book was written. If you were to pick JUST ONE book of Nietzsche’s to read, pick “The Twilight of the Idols,” about which Nietzsche himself said - “This style is my philosophy in a nutshell-radical to the point of criminality..." Again, you will want an annotated version (and again, Kaufmann’s is probably best). But just reading Twilight is like just listening to the climax of your favorite song, or watching the climax of your favorite film, or sitting at a table with your favorite meal and only being allowed to smell it. Some of the flavor and feeling, and an appreciation for its creation and the preparation that led up to it, will be lacking, and those parts are so important - especially to Nietzsche.

What's really interesting is Nietzsche intended Genealogy of Morals to be read after Beyond Good and Evil. He specifically wrote Genealogy of Morals as a supplement to Beyond Good and Evil.

I've never read Nietzche but Viktor E Frankl references him a lot so i wanted to understand him but Thus Spake Zarathustra is way too advanced for me.

No need to read a Very short Introduction book that was suggested here. It is one of the worst summarizations on Neitzsche. Author seems to be spiteful of Neitzsche. Jump right in with Genealogy book.

Im trying to look for the textbooks used in universities & all im finding are university courses with no explanation of books they use OR a list of Nietzsche's books come up.

I'm amazed how one person became a huge figure in philosophy like Nietzsche, it makes me think how did someone with these reflections and idea became who he is

Doesn’t really do much to understand his core ideas since he disavowed a lot of them in later works. We’ve done an hour long analysis video on the book here on the channel!

Thank you for making this video. I have known Nietzsche is difficult to read and this video serves as a really good guide.

I'm going for zaratustra ! Diving in head first ! I don't wanna read others opinion of his work. I wanna bellyflop into it ! if he can get my attention in his best. Then i'll work my way backwards and read the rest. Wish me luck !

Hey weitgeist. I wanted to start reading Byung Chul Han. I even read The Transparency Society. I did not follow the steps u mentioned here. And I cant find any secondary resources like you mentioned here abt Byung Chul Han. Can you give me an advice. He is a new philosopher. Or can u find me some materials. Hoping to hear from you soon.

Also, imo(And I think most people agree) Kaufmann's translations are the best.
