Thank you so much Kotti Everdine, Professor Geuss, and Cambridge University. What an absolutely amazing opportunity to attend this lecture series from one of the top sources in the world. I learned so much and already see how my perspectives have broadened from just this 7-part series. I am extremely grateful to you all for making this content available and giving me a taste of Cambridge University.

Raymond Geuss was my professor for several terms, and not only did he live in Germany for years where he studied and taught, but he writes and publishes in German. So, it comes rather naturally to him to mix German (and several other languages) with English. And yes, of course, he reads Nietzsche in German.

MOST of Nietzsche’s books are VERY readable. People seem afraid of a string of difficult aphorisms; those are for the most part confined to Will To Power, which was more or less the work of his sister after he died. There is great enjoyment waiting for you in those books.

I think Human All Too Human is the best start, as it feels like (though I'm not very sure) it kind of introduces a lot of the ideas he presents in his more iconic works.

@@kristianj.8798 I'd start with Genealogy of Morals. It was the most accessible for me and has most of his big ideas. I absolutely love Thus Spoke Zarathustra but wouldn't recommend it until people have read a few other Nietzsche books first. I'd be completely lost if I started with that one first. It's pretty difficult.

Geuss is wrong in one respect: The Swiss revolution of 1848 (a liberal revolution) didn't fail. After a short civil war won by the Liberals modern democratic Switzerland was founded. That is why many Liberals from other european countries took refuge in Switzerland after the failed revolutions.

Lange was not a materialist. His book which Geuss refers to is The History of Materialism and a Critique of its Current State. It was three volumes, not two and Lange is not a materialist. Mystery is the leitmotif of his great book. The mind-body problem becomes the center point of metaphysics and mystery takes precedence over matter. Lange was brilliant and Nietzsche had read and studied his work more than once during his life.

What is strikingly absent from this excellent lecture is Rudolf Steiner's (18r64-1925) colossal contribution to Philosophy covering all these philosopher/wannabees including many others not mentioned in this show. All the problems of transcripts are cancelled in Steiner because he was a seer in the proper sense of the word so he's more than a philosopher much more !!! hence the massif body of practical work put out by him before he was poisoned. Nobody touches Steiner... Find him @ rsarchive.org/lectures

So according to this ever so notable old fellow philosophy is nothing more than the study of which subjective fantasy deluded the people the most in a given period until purely external circumstances produced a new fantasy. I know philosophy isnt as concrete and immediately self evident as the external sciences but I think its worth allowing for at least the POSSIBILITY that truth might exist and might not be a complete waste of time looking for. If you're watching this lecture cause you're searching for some kind of meaning in life good luck. If you're in higher education, it probably doesn't matter one way or the other.

I'm glad that I gave up on the absurdity of philosophy when I was in my twenties. I basically had to get off my duff & make a living. Die toten Deutshcen (die jennigen von wem er spricht) had nothing but time on their hands to sit and ponder endlessly. For the most part these great heroes of thought, lived off of others rather likes fleas on host animals. This speaker goes on endlessly sharing discordant facts which are ear marked by their complete lack of interest of any kind. This is fun stuff for atheists and other assorted pagans.
