Synopsis

With Friedrich Nietzsche, philosophy was dangerous not only for philosophers but for everyone. Nietzsche ended up going mad, but his ideas presaged a collective madness that had horrific consequences in Europe in the early 1900s. Though his philosophy is more one of aphorisms and insights than a system, it is brilliant, persuasive, and incisive. His major concept is the will to power, which he saw as the basic impulse for all our acts. Christianity he saw as a subtle perversion of this conceptthus Nietzsches famous pronouncement, God is dead.

Goodreads review by Sean

A very rudimentary overview which is mostly biographical, with very little in the way of description of key thought. With the very short format (90 minutes is more like 40) one would think he would compromise certain useless information for something of more value. However having said that, it’s leng......more
