Who else is a nietzsche fan? Don't you hate when the pronunciation of his name is slaughtered?

the issue with western philosophy is it's preoccupation with the self and the ego. It's reliance on argument. And it's utter ignorance of alternative views. Basically a Eurocentric viewpoint that is as tribal and archaic as the cultures we/they proffer to be superior to.

No I don't align to him or many others - I do enjoy reading them and using them to gain perspective and a sense of history for my artwork and my thought processes. There are of course valuable things in each person's opinions and there is a lot to be said for intelligent people offering ideas. I think there is a lot to be said for the points of view of other peoples too.

I am not his fan. I agree with a lot of his observations but disagree with a lot of his conclusions. The poem I wrote about him and his philosophy won a gold trophy.

nee - chee (long e's)

Nietzsche is peachy if your tastes run to psychotic, neurotic, Teutonic, misanthropic maniacs.

I've never heard his name pronounced; nor have I read his works, although I have of course heard of him. I must admit that I believe names (and all words) have "sound value", so that its important to pronounce them correctly if possible.

No worse than when people say "apostrophe's" ......

If I were an atheist I would definitely agree with nihilism.
Otherwise I have a more Kierkegaardian view.
As far as pronunciation goes in America
give us a croissant.....we'll make a croissanwich

I've never been a big fan of Neetcheschki.

"It's not Nee-Chee like peachy, it's Nee-cha like pizza,"

As I've been told, I don't really give a ****. His writing is just as good either way.
