People learn foreign languages to appreciate the artistry of works of fiction in their native language. But there is no artistry to philosophy. Why would you learn a foreign language when all that is necessary is to understand what is being said?

Because /lit/ told me not to read translations.

i read madame bovary in translation and although i didnt get the beautiful phrases attached to reading it in the original french, i still got all of the ideas, the message, the metaphors. reading in translation is perfectly fine and it will probably take you years to learn a language... you could spend that time just reading more.

if you really have to just do some research on the different translations and read a few different ones and compare for yourself.

You should learn German to read Goethe, not philosophy - apart from Nietzsche.

>But there is no artistry to philosophy.

Nietzsche is widely considered one of the best prose stylists in the German language :^)

How many years does it take to be able to read Goethe/Schopenhauer/Nietzsche?

>??
Wohin ist Gott? rief er, ich will es euch sagen! Wir haben ihn getötet, – ihr und ich! Wir Alle sind seine Mörder! Aber wie haben wir dies gemacht? Wie vermochten wir das Meer auszutrinken? Wer gab uns den Schwamm, um den ganzen Horizont wegzuwischen? Was taten wir, als wir diese Erde von ihrer Sonne losketteten? Wohin bewegt sie sich nun? Wohin bewegen wir uns? Fort von allen Sonnen? Stürzen wir nicht fortwährend? Und rückwärts, seitwärts, vorwärts, nach allen Seiten? Giebt es noch ein Oben und ein Unten? Irren wir nicht wie durch ein unendliches Nichts? Haucht uns nicht der leere Raum an? Ist es nicht kälter geworden? Kommt nicht immerfort die Nacht und mehr Nacht? Gott ist tot! Gott bleibt tot! Und wir haben ihn getötet! Wie trösten wir uns, die Mörder aller Mörder?

German is such a putrid language. You should have learned French or Italian.
