Nietzsche's Philosophy in 5 Minutes: How to Make Your Life A Work of Art? 🧐

What does it mean to say that God is dead, or that Christian morality is ‘Slave Morality’? How does Nietzsche think we should live, and think, differently? What is the Übermensch, the will to power?
Nietzsche wrote many influential books, and wrote on everything from art, music, and tragic literature to death, ethics, and time. His philosophy has a reputation for being difficult, and sometimes even contradictory, inspiring decades of scholarship and interpretation. However, much of Nietzsche’s work returns to a central theme: making your life a work of art. Taking responsibility for the project of your aesthetic self-direction.
Nietzsche’s philosophy approaches this theme through a number of figures, terms, and stories. Each of these ideas tells us something about how Nietzsche thought we could become freer, more powerful, and more beautiful beings. In today's video, we'll find out more!

I just wanna say, you guys are making a lot of progress with your videos, you’re becoming more creative with the editing, which is really cool. Also i don’t think I’ve ever seen a philosophy video on this channel, and it was really instructive, so thank you ! I’d love to see more videos about philosophers :)

It was dog shit and way too simplistic. To simply Nietzsche is an impossibility. So, in short, instead of a “good job” you get a “shit job”. You’re lazy. And your laziness is toxic. Please, answer Camus’s only question with a “yes”.

Something about production and feel grabbed me so I subbed and support. I predict great things. Great topics. (Don’t love the guidelines that just popped up but the substance is solid.)

I graduated from a major American Art College. At that time there was a group of Conseptionalist art faculty (none of whom are there now, with reason) who were avid followers of this, and other similar philosophers. But instead of presenting it a a philosophy, they presented it as truth to their students. The result was an artistic political activism which ran roughshod over anyone that they disagreed with as "unimportant to art today." An unforeseen result of this "freedom" was the devaluation of everyone else. One of my friends, one of their students who nearly had her creativity destroyed in the process, observed "Look at the photos of these philosophers and their adherents, and you will know why they died!"

Clear and simple. Videos on Kathe Kollwitz, Hannah Arendt, Artimisia Gentileschi would be wonderful. Leonora Carrington, Leonor Fini, Jean Rhys, Remedios Varo, Berthe Morisot.

To summarize, Nietzsche championed a philosophy of self-overcoming and self-direction, advocating for the rejection of "slave morality" and the pursuit of the "Ubermensch", an ethos of artistic, powerful, and heroic individualism. He sought to inspire individuals to create their own values and take responsibility for their own aesthetic life projects, believing that this would strengthen and liberate them. Nietzsche's philosophy of self-overcoming and self-direction is more relevant now than ever before. The idea of rejecting "slave morality" and embracing the "Ubermensch" ethos of artistic, powerful, and heroic individualism is a timely message for humanity. In today's world, where conformity and societal pressures can often stifle creativity and self-expression, Nietzsche's ideas of creating our own values and taking responsibility for our own aesthetic life projects is a powerful reminder that we have the ability to shape our own destinies. It's also important to note the connection of Nietzsche's ideas with Stoicism, as both philosophies promote self-reliance and taking personal responsibility for our actions and thoughts. Overall, Nietzsche's ideas are a call to arms for individuals to take control of their own lives, and it's a message that resonates in our modern age.

This is so interesting! We've learned of Nietzsche in art and literature class but this video still had new information to teach me. Also I don't know what music plays in the beginning but it's absolutely gorgeous, and it set the theme for a video about philosophy perfectly.

Is there a misspelling in the quote towards the end? I think it meant to say that you would "live" your life as you are, not "love" your life as you are. Great video though -- very interesting!

On an individual basis power, I just wanted to live comfortably. Ressentiment bc another individual is more beautiful, money, knowledge etc I really don’t envy another person that way I’m confident and content for them… Nietzsche may had some psychological reasoning from childhood -- ie strict social boundaries, religious household, small village, etc. But that whole concept of power that in its essence is on an individual basis…Here I agree with Zarathustra, construct ones onself freedom… but with Nietzsche it always gets back to power… The last point “demons” I’ve encountered a few 2-legged lion, tigers and bears, I think; I’ve already lived “that moment” to live in entrenched in peace but who knows I’m still alive.

Nietzsche's game-changing ideas, like radical human freedom and the concept of power, might strike some as bold claims. To critics, they might even appear as dogmatic as the very concept of the monotheistic God of Christianity that he challenges. Yet these ideas have equally had a sweeping influence across various fields. While anything overbearing is inherently unfair, I'm still drawn to Nietzsche's concept of the Übermensch. The idea of stifling human freedom and “will to power” in favor of submitting to external authority feels almost like a shadowy conspiracy-especially when even God doesn't seem to take responsibility for what's happening in the world today. I highly appreciate Nietzsche's 'make your life a work of art' mantra. It can empower me to see myself as an independent artist full of creativity and potential, rather than a helpless pawn held back by the nagging concept of 'slave morality.' I have my own flaws and selfish tendencies, just like everyone else, but for some reason, I feel like I am as free as a bird in flight with Nietzsche’s philosophy. Thanks Curious Muse! 😍

The quotation at the end about, if a demon came to you...., is translated incorrectly. The 'love' should be 'live'.

His father was a Lutheran Minister and from memory he began studying to be a Minister but became an atheist. Nietzsche hated moral philosophy and bragged that he was the first philosopher to reject Christian morality. He understood that he would be the 'prophet' of Nihilism and he prophesied great destruction in the next centuries. He was a charlatan loner who eventually went insane.
