You just have to read it more then once, its a bit more difficult for some people to grasp it the first time around!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You really need years of philosophical training before you can even grasp anything in Nietzsche's writings!. I tried reading "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" when I first started reading philosophical books, but I couldn't understand it!. It's slightly more comprehensible now, but it still is a very difficult text!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think that Friedrich Nietzsche's pronouncement, in "Thus Spoke Zarathustra," that "God is dead," was a bit premature!. But I agree when he wrote:" "Even a thought, even a possibility can transform us!."

You're right reading his books aint that easy!Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have to have about ten gazillion tons of patience for such a task!. Nietzsche isn't everyone's cup of tea!. Here's a good article about the man and his philosophy:

Nietzsche is great to read! Although his form is bad, what he writes, are at times, profoundly insightful!. I recommend reading The Antichrist; that was my favourite of his!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, but I think of him as a past tense guy!. It is nice to have read him, but it's dreadful reading him!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Same for me, too boring, droning on and on!. And I have a BS in Psych!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
