I havent started yet. I had started reading BGE and Geneology of Morals before deciding I had to go read other people first to know what was being written about. His philosophy is quite difficult to parse in comparison. I've been slowly (very slowly) working myself through general western philosophy. I'm still around Locke and Berkeley but I want to go back to Descartes and work through again with more thought.

If you want more background on Nietzsche you'll be well served by refreshing yourself on the Ancient Greeks, much of Nietzsche's philosophy is based on Ancient Greek ideas of forming moral codes, a stark contrast from the Christian morality most common in the West which ofc Nietzsche is outwardly against.

Very anti-statist too but you're on Nostr you don't need background on that 😅

Oh, I am aware of his love of the old greek myths. There is a reason he believed himself the last disciple of Dionysus after all. I have a general idea on his philosophy, as with many people, but its the details that truly count.

Ill need to read over a lot of different peoples work.

He was anti-statist and anti-anarchist. I'm sure that is a head scratcher for anyone in those camps 😆

He was against specific popular forms of anarchist thought since a lot of it leans towards socialism and he's definitely against that, but I don't recall him being anti-anarchist in the broader sense.

His stuff is definitely worth reading 👌
