    Nietzsche's FORGOTTEN Book (part 1)

    WATCH: Schopenhauer Explained: The World as Will and Representationhttps://youtu.be/f-djIdl8WO4Friedrich Nietzsche's Daybreak is probably the most underrated canonical work of the famous German philosopher. Overshadowed by Beyond Good and Evil and Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Daybreak offers an overview of Nietzsche's main ideas in a way you might not have heard about them before. This first part covers the title of the book, Nietzsche's overarching project, and his love for the empirical presocratic philosophers (Democritus, Heraclitus, Anaximenes, Thales of Miletus) and his distaste for the idealistic philosophy of Plato and his World of Forms.

It is what is says: a cross in the mountains. But it sparked a huge debate culture war in Germany. The painting became the battleground for the so-called Ramdohrstreit, the Ramdohr Battle.The painting was an altarpiece, yet it depicted a landscape. A huge faux pas: landscape painting was considered one of the lowest genres of painting. Totally unfitting for an altarpiece, which should show a historical scene (the crucifixion of Jesus) or an allegory for God (such as the Lamb of God).The painting became a dividing line in a battle for the meaning of art. Neoclassicism versus Romanticism.Should art conform to timeless, objective ideals, or can art also be transformative if it has a strong subjective effect? Learn more about your ad choices.

    Arthur Schopenhauer on Noise (Misophonia)

    DOWNLOAD "ON NOISE" (free):https://weltgeist.tv/noiseWATCH: Schopenhauer Explained: The World as Will and Representationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-djIdl8WO4This is an appreciation video for Schopenhauer's underrated essay "On Noise", part of the Parerga and Paralipomena. We explore and appreciate this grumpy old man's disgust and irritation at all the noise and disturbances of living in the big city. Whips, crying children, barking dogs. Schopenhauer hated it all. But through his irritation and philosophical influence, he did become one of the first modern, Western philosophers to champion animal rights. How?

Ruthless, ambitious, and living for the here and now, Cesare is mentioned both in The Antichrist as well as Beyond Good and Evil, with rare Nietzschean praise.He dreams of seeing someone like Cesare Borgia in the papal seat, and in Nietzsche's alternative daydream version of history, that would've spelled the end of Christianity as we know it. A full frontal assault right in the center of the enemy: the most un-Christian man in the most Christian chair.Instead, the Renaissance was destroyed, and Christianity was saved, by none other than Martin Luther. As Nietzsche quipped, he saved Christianity, and destroyed Europe. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
