A member of the group that has read Nietzsche for 25 years says: he gets worse and more insubstantial, less volatile, as one goes along. He lifted a great deal from Schopenhauer, and also simply plagiarized George Berkeley, in some cases verbatim, on the score of 18th century “free thinking”, substantially as a theme which he took over. Nietzsche would be simply boring if it were not form his knowing well the Greeks, the tradition, and constantly speaking to Plato, more than to Kant, as one might think judging by the mentions of Kant (this is Schopenhauer speaking to Kant). and the superficial and silly denouncement of the transcendental thinking, as discovery of a “faculty”.
This group answer should ask: what is the “life-giving lie” in Nietzsche? Why does Nietzsche say the truth is “deadly”. Nietzsche rejects the truth, that there is no truth, and makes a new “law tablet”. Nietzsche calls the philosophy the Geistigste, most spiritual, will-to-Macht. I.e., Nietzsche does not abandon god, but a god, the Christian god, in order to set Dionysus, the “creative”, in his place.
Explication: god was a name for finding out what humans deep down really thought the world was: what is Justice?, what is Good? Now they think it is something still being made.
I’ll write another post on this boring Nietzsche raging on theme, just to be more expressionisticly fulsome.
