You were thinking of reading an encyclopedia entry? Don't hurt yourself studying too hard

1) Yes, his endgame was life afirmation
And he is not irrational, he just doesnt think that reason is human beings superior and universal trait

2) people disregard his last works because they show his most radical side and because of the sister thing, and we have had the original work for a long time
He wasnt "gone" until the horse thing

Its true, thankfully we have enough refugees who will enlighten us and since our births are stagnating and the world is getting overpopulated(by us white people) muslims will fix everything!

Walter Kaufmann said the same of Hegel, calling him a 'poet' of Dante's caliber-- in his early intellectual bio Hegel.

Elisabeth edited Will to Power, which, of Nietzsche's books, is the most philosophy-like, and therefore arguably the most difficult. Certainly the longest.

Benedetto should have read Nietzsche and the Greeks more. All you have to do is read his Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks, Twilight of the Idols, Beyond Good and Evil, Human All Too Human and then explore the Greeks a bit, to see where Nietzsche is coming from.

Not to say he's not allowed to have that perspective, but from Nietzsche's perspective, he is not only a philosopher but one of the only philosophers since the Greeks, and he explains how... an explanation that is pretty fucking sound.

1) yes
2) modern editions have reedited the works with a closer adherence to nietzsche's outlines at the time. only editions from around 1900-1950 could be said to still contain elisabeth's anti-semitic intentions

Speaking of the Greeks I can't understand his critique of Socrate, he seems to be accusing him and Plato of separating the person from his life in a way, he seems to accuse him of infusing false optimism in people (??)

But if I understood this correctly, wouldn't it be instead that Socrate helped people by having them realize just how much they don't know, by defusing their false sense of who they are and what they know, making them reevaluate their values, dropping them into a sort of chaos even, unlike sophists and their false sense of certainties.

You don't think Birth of Tragedy is necessary? It has the whole apolinian/dyonisian thing

Croce was a brainlet who never understood Nietzsche, the first Nietzsche (Die Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geiste der Musik) really is an aesthet (he even jokes about it in the preface) but the interesting parts are after the Unzeitgemässe Betrachtungen

>A famous italian philosopher, Benedetto Croce said that Nietzsche is a poet and that he should not be called philosopher

Funny how he's a "Famous Italian philosopher" yet I've never heard of him yet I've heard of Nietzsche.

>>9566221
No one said he was more famous than Neetch, you not knowing Croce who is a famous philosopher just shows that you are ignorant.

>>9566221
You should try reading more

>It has the whole apolinian/dyonisian thing

Not the person you're replying to, but how much of that divide actually relates to his later work? e completely different ideas. It seems that he just abandons that entire line of thinking at some point, even if his hard on for Dionysus remains.

This entry is 17,543-word long, so approximately 40 pages. It is therefore longer than most critical essays published in specialised reviews, it deals with the whole system of thought of Nietzsche, and it is very well sourced. Since OP said he didn't have time at the moment to read primary sources, what better source would you recommend to get acquainted with this philosopher, you grand scholar?

Socrates and Plato are dualists, separating the psyche from soma. Nietzsche hates the mind-body dualism with a passion.

They also attacked the sophists. Sophists like Protagoras would say that: "Man is the measure of all things." Nietzsche also acknowledges that you need (the perspective of) a man to attribute (a) value to something. Again, Socrates and Plato, the great dividers, separate value from man and his perspective.

I wonder how many people after Nietzsche even disagree with Protagoras.
