  • To go beyond Nietzsche's philosophy
    Thanks a lot for your answers !

    I misspoke, maybe it's due to a translation problem; but even in French, "ethic" was not the most appropriate term. I should have used the word "morality." I am sorry for that.
    I am not talking about politics. I think it is quite dangerous to transpose Nietzsche's ideas to the level of a State, and that it is even making a misunderstanding about his work.

    Does the word "overrun" sound appropriate to you? I used it on purpose, because I think it is commonplace to refute, to contradict Nietzsche, quite simply by opposing him with an idealism and a ready-made morality. I think it would be less banal to start from its philosophy, to take it into account, to cross it to try to go beyond.

    At the moment, I am reading a French book: "Christian readings of Nietzsche" by Yves Ledure; I am very curious to know how the Christians manage to maintain their belief, while having read Nietzsche seriously. I don't mean that with contempt; I am curious on the contrary, because I think that there are some who succeed. But is it by a negation, a total refutation, autarkic of the thought of Nietzsche or is it by a going beyond, that is to say by taking into account his philosophy?

    However, it is not just the Christian point of view that interests me.

    Yes, I am a woman. I didn't know that Nietzsche is a philosopher that mostly teenage males read ... but that doesn't surprise me!

    (Sorry for my mistakes)
  • To go beyond Nietzsche's philosophy
    Thank you for your message ! But truly, I am looking more specifically for philosophers who have surpassed him in terms of his ethic and his transvaluation of values. Sorry, my message was not precise enough.
