“The free man is immoral, because it is his will to depend upon himself and not upon tradition: in all the primitive states of humanity 'evil' is equivalent to 'individual,' 'free,' 'arbitrary,' 'unaccustomed,' 'unforeseen,' 'incalculable.'“ ~Friedrich Nietzsche, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒘𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑫𝒂𝒚

“Let unholy hands keep aloof from inspired writings, let the laity believe in their old religions and their new philosophies, and let Nietzsche be the philosopher for those only who have to stand alone, but who for this very reason need an example and perhaps a guide more than any other.“ ~Oscar Levy
In this historical fiction, in 1882 Josef Breuer, a physician who made discoveries in neurophysiology, meets philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The first is a renowned scientist in his mid-life crisis, the latter is a difficult to treat patient with a fabulous mind.
Their conversations are absolutely brilliant and set the bases for psychoanalysis at a time when Dr. Breuer's young friend Sigmund Freud is just a 25-year old medicine student.
I went to the recycling centre this morning. Always worth looking in the wheelie bin of books to see if someone is throwing away a gem. I gazed into this last bin in the line…and the bin gazed also into me!
Whew 😅…
I think philosophy is so tough for me because I‘m a consumptive reader; I‘m used to moving at a steady pace and when I dive into philosophy I‘m forced to slow down, to remind myself that these essays are not to be read once, but multiple times, to be discussed and dissected.
Anyway, despite its density, I‘m glad I read it. I‘ve had it for FOREVER having come across it in a library sale. It literally fell apart while reading it.
Libro pesante, impegnativo, che fa riflettere, forse anche troppo. Una soddisfazione arrivare fino alla fine e forse il libro più bello che mi letto. In qualche modo ti cambia.
The essential biography for anyone seeking to understand history's most misunderstood philosopher.
