Hi and thanks again. No, that isn't it. There is already a category in the dropdown menu for 'Reading Groups'. Not easily seen, it lies tucked away un...

To be honest, I doubt that anybody else gives a damn. However, if anything should be included it is 'political discussions', given that its heated 'to...
Thanks for you response. Yes, there are quite a few threads, related to books, for sure. My question concerns discussions of a particular book within ...
Hmm. Yes. I see your point. Some don't see beyond the slogan: 'God is Dead'. A stuck refrain. But he lifted up Christianity for inspection, highlighti...
:up: But...I don't really understand the message :chin: Do you think N would like this, or even sing along?! 'The Nietzsche Song'. https://www.youtube...
Are you talking to me? An all-knowing 'overman' has never been, and never will be, that to which I adhere. I don't think that any single philosopher h...
OK. I can't help but think of current state of UK politics...an overturn of previous values...getting murkier and deadlier by the day. I could go on, ...
As always un, you make me return to questions I should have asked. I skipped over the bit, now bolded: I enjoyed the imagery but didn't know what you ...
Tate, I didn't even click on the link. Who cares about the most popular interpretation? Have you done your own yet? I think not. You left this discuss...
And in a certain order: So, we are allowed to create our own interpretation of what Nietzsche means? It's time to return to the text. I've been away t...
Both seem pretty ominous. But both concern words and their curious ways... What do you mean by a 'psychological treatment'? Something like CBT ? Or Re...
I read some of the book linked (searching for your verse). A truly fascinating insight into translation. A few Intro Notes (p8 of pdf): 1. The Gathas ...
Bryn Terfel :heart: Back to Nietzsche. He admired Goethe's Faust, which bears comparison to Mozart's 'Don Giovanni'. And so the return to Bryn. I thin...
Ah, there ya' go. You can tell I haven't been in a chippie for a wee while! The best ever I tasted was in Stonehaven. A much-needed stop on our never-...
It is a most serious and fascinating question which, as in all philosophical discourse, leads to others! Cultural differences and lingo even within th...
Your excellent and substantive response here I will need to take time to read. Wonderful writing with appropriate and helpful linking, I am learning s...

:up: No worries. Stay well. :sparkle: So, who's up for taking the lead? Not me. Don't have the knowledge or experience. It can be a job share @"Paine"...
Well, I didn't even see that when I passed it by! I simply thought he was talking about the Nietzsche character... So, N has gone beyond the original ...
Even by reading something that is out of our usual habit ( like Z). Being of an open and questioning mind. To get over ourselves. From the speech: On ...
Thank you for pointing out what should have been an initial question for me. The title of the book. Why 'Thus Spake Zarathustra'? I don't know that N ...
Thank you :sparkle: Beautiful and exactly what I was looking for this morning. I'm in that kind of mood. A little bit sad and surreal. Seeking calm. F...
Thanks for that :up: I have come to the conclusion that not even the thread starter is really up for reading the whole of the book. Indeed, how realis...
Another good question. This is supposed to be philo fiction, right? Kinda gets confusing. But I'm veering to...Maybe, aye. Maybe no. I've spilled my b...
Good question. Nothing. Of any substance. But. Let me see... OK, I'm thinking, thinking... Stand well back, here comes a mind dump ( must be catching)...
