Shakespear is uplifting but I found Nietzsche depressing in parts.
Are you reading it in German, to improve your German, or as a study of
Philosophy?

study of philosophy (mostly while i was in college). although i will start
reading texts and newspapers in other languages, once i can read better.
i think Nietzsche is overrated (and bleak). however his influence on
continental and postmodern philosophy can't be overlooked.

I read N after having read a lot of Freud & seeing the impact N had had
on him; didn't actually realise they were contemporaries before that. I
think Wagner? was also in the circle - wouldn't that have been a
complete blast.
I haven't read a lot of his work, I have many new books unread on my
shelves (people come & say "Oh you've read 'The Secret Life of Dust'" &
I say "that was a present but I haven't had time to read it".
It's so ironic, I've just had 8 months, not working but have been in no
condition to read anything.
Take care Michael, talk to you later in the week if your around. :-)

i'd agree Nietzsche is over-rated, I think he realised he was relatively
good at putting terminology to all possible life-experiences and had a
good crack at explaining it. i think he had been through the stuff he
was talking about, so there was less observer point-of-view and more
experiencer point-of-view.
i have a feeling it's all a bit too big for just one guy, so the
periphery gets a bit much.
and i think you'll always think Nietzsche is intellectual clap-trap
until you've had an experience where you are genuinely lost for words.
like the day when you know breakdowns and neurosis are very real...

I halfway disagree. When you start to breakdown, you seek rational thought
(at least most people do). When one composer's son died, he went from
abstract atonal composition to a style which was far more traditional.
I tend to think the neurotic would seek rationality, while the psychotic
seek escapism.

He had syphilitic paresis in his later years. His writing changed
dramatically (in my opinion).
