Nietzsche on philosophy

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 8, 2020:

You are quoting from the much disputed 1968 translation by Walter Kaufmann of The Case of Wagner A Musicians' Problem. 1888. The passage is not even part of the essay it is taken from an *epilogue* to a *commentary* on The Case of Wagner A Musicians' Problem. Written some time later and refering back to his Introduction to the essay written at the same time as the epilogue. " *I have granted myself some small relief. It is not merely pure malice when I praise Bizet in this essay at the expense of Wagner. Interspersed with many jokes, I bring up a matter that is no joke.* " The passage Translates from German as ***Holiness—perhaps the last thing the people and women still get to see of higher values, the horizon of the ideal for all who are by nature myopic. But among philosophers this is, like every horizon, a mere case of lack of understanding, a sort of shutting the gate at the point where their world only begins—their danger, their ideal, their desideratum.— To say it more politely: la philosophie ne suffit pas au grand nombre. Il lui faut la sainteté.** Leaving the French quote at the end in the original language to highlight the subtlety Nietzsche intended. Kaufman however takes it upon himself to translate *la philosophie ne suffit pas au grand nombre. Il lui faut la sainteté.* as *"Philosophy is not suited for the masses. What they need is holiness.* ***Which is a freaking awful translation*** In reality a better translation is ** For many (people), philosophy is not enough. He needs holiness.** "He" in this case is the subject of the essay **Wagner** I hope this is of some help in understanding the words of the author ***In Context***

To use pervert to mean a sexual deviant is sheer laziness when one means sexual pervert To use pervert to mean an apostate is simply shortening religious pervert owing to context You can have a legal pervert an industrial pervert A moral pervert etc. Making the assumption that "Pervert" simply always means sexual deviant is a modern laxity.

Was there a time when it would have been necessary for the government of the UK to have to be *told* this about their ally in the "special relationship"? This is now the accepted image of the USA and the UK in the eyes of the world, a torture condoning, truth hating culture of corruption and journalistic suppression, does it not make you proud?

Spinster which originally literally meant a spinner of yarn or wool (as single or widowed women of a certain age were no longer good for anything else in the eyes of society), came back in to fashion in the early Victorian period as a female equivalent to "confirmed bachelor" in other words as a euphemism for homosexual. Two respectable older unmarried ladies living together were spinster companions all decent and above board had nothing to fear from the wagging tongues of the dirty minded and so what if they shared a bed, it was cold at night.

Why do people believe in the devil when it’s obviously a myth?

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 21, 2020:

As a fictional creation the Devil is a far more interesting character than god or Jesus. In a literary sense his is the young underdog who stood up against his all powerful boss and not only survived, but remained unbroken "Better to rule in Hell than be a slave in Heaven" He refuses to capitulate, he refuses to surrender, he fights the odds and overcomes, he has the courage of his own convictions and charismatically leads an army of 33% of the angels who agree with him on a quest for freedom from the unfair and cruel rules of YHWH. The god that grants free will to beings and then forbid them to use it, that demands love by force, that enforces respect by fear, who kills on a genocidal level. He even offers Jesus a way out of the insane scapegoating sacrifice of god sacrificing himself, to himself, to appease himself, 3 times and is turned down. In short he is a far more believable and enticing character than either the maniac god of the OT or the wishy washy bastard of the NT. No wonder he is more popular and has appeared in more film and literature than his old boss.

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 20, 2020:

That story is not Biblical, it is Midrash. Also it is not complete, in the original young David questions god s to why he made Madmen, spiders and stinging wasps all thing David feels have no purpose and are at odd with the supposed wisdom of god. God gets pissed off at David, calls him a cheeky bastard and promises that one day Daviy boy will see why Wasps, spiders and nut jobs are all proof of HIS divine wisdom. Through various situations years later god arranges for David to be endangered and in fear of his life three times, the first time he escapes death by pretending to be mad, the second is the Spider story and the third is David gets stuck in Saul's tent while trying to rob the mad king Saul in his sleep and only gets away because the guard is stung by a wasp. Thus proving Spiders, wasps and loonies were created by god purely for the purpose of getting David out of sit com situations a few thousand years later that he god engineered in the first place and showing how "wise" the daft bugger was..

Noumenon: a posited object or event that exists independently of human sense and/or perception.

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 19, 2020:

So a bollocks word then, used to try and justify the existence of imaginary things. If something is existing independently of human sense and/or perception it may as well not exist at all, since it is completely irrelevant to perceived reality since it would would be completely indistinguishable for something that did not exist at all. As such and by definition, the instant a noumenon was able to be detected it would not be one anymore, it would immediately become a phenomenon. It is akin to nothing, dark, cold etc. describing only an absence of something else.

LenHazell53 comments on Sep 18, 2020:

Human creativity and to an extent human social evolution has always been based on the idea of looking at what is deemed unnatural or impossible and figuring out how to do it anyway.

Which is easily countered with "If you are meant to be a fuckwit, why were you born with a brain?"

NO because Nietzsche is using "slave morality" as a designation for those following Christian precepts of surrendering to god, serving the church, suppressing desires and the lie of theological chiasmus (he who is least amongst us is greatest and he who is greatest is the servant of all) In Nietzsche's philosophy Christians have slave morality, Christianity as an institution has Master Morality and a vested interesting in maintaining that status quo.
