Opinion of Friedrich Nietzsche

[Gustaf]

Well, Nietzsche was converted into a Nazi icon by his sister so everyone considered him a Nazi. Then that was revised. According to my philosophy professor this has led to a revision of Nietzsche that has gone too far and ignores the fact that his views were pretty disgusting. I have read no original Nietzsche, only qoutes from second-hand sources both of whom were very negative towards him. Based on all that I know, negative, but I wouldn't consider it an informed opinion.

One of the most disgusting pieces of trash ever to live. Nazi piece of garbage.

Nietzsche died in 1900. He wasn't even alive when the German Worker's Party formed (soon to become the NSDAP, the nazi party).

BRTD is too much of an objectivist to even consider liking Nietzsche, even if he accepted that Nietzsche wasn't a nazi.

What? I hate Objectivism and Ayn Rand.

     Note the small o in objectivism here. I'm just saying that you tend to support an objective view of the world. That's different from liking Ayn Rand.

Do you mean the philisophical doctrine of objectivism within meta-ethics (as opposed to emotivism or naturalism, as a semantic theory of morality) or in a more general non-relativist sense?

This thread keeps reminding me that I have to read Nietzsche at some point.
