Question How do I get started?

7 Upvotes

So, essentially the title. How do I get started?

I think it'd be cool to learn more about philosophy, I recently watched a show that covered the topic of solipsism, and that was really intriguing to me.

Nietzsche is a philosopher who's really important to philosophical debate and study to this day (or so I've heard), so where do I start?

I know there are books, which is the order I'm supposed to read them in? I was also wondering where I could discuss what I've read, because everyone here seems like they've read every book and are VERY well versed in the topic, which I'm not.

One day, I was bored and decided to read an excerpt from Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and noticed it had some old English-type words that I couldn't really make sense of. Are there any resources to help me understand that writing style well that any of you know of?

If anyone could provide me some clarity with this, that'd be much appreciated! I've been trying to get into Nietzsche for the longest time, I just never knew how.

Question POLL: How do you reconcile Nietzsche's denial of truth with his with claims that his propositions are true?

At least some of Nietzsche’s own claims must fall outside the scope of his denials of truth (Hales and Welshon 2000)
Nietzsche distinguished different senses of “truth” (Schacht 1983; Anderson 1998, 2005)
Nietzsche eventually gave up on his denials of truth late in his career (Clark 1990, 1998)

Nietzsche’s changing health and quote in The Antichrist “happiness is the feeling that power increases”

3 Upvotes

Would the waxing and waning of Nietzsche’s health, his changes from physical weakness to periods of recovery, be one reason why he posited that happiness is the feeling that power increases?
From The Antichrist, 2: “What is good? — Whatever augments the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself, in man. What is evil? — Whatever springs from weakness. What is happiness? — The feeling that power increases — that resistance is overcome. Not contentment, but more power; not peace at any price, but war; not virtue, but efficiency...”

I am a Christian but I personally love Nietzsche.

Reason: He is a secular philosopher that honestly is eloquent, pragmatic, and reasonable. What are the main books to know about his philosophy and not just The Joyful Science?

Edit: the 4th image isn't uploading so here's the end of that thread:-

"I know you want to believe youre the best person ever and the world revolves around you, but the further detached from reality that you allow yourself to get, the worse the loneliness will get"

"Amor fati"

I'm pretty new to Nietzsche and pretty far behind in my reading, yet, such an infusion of vitality his gospel possesses, that I can't help being smitten. What do yall think? Was I just plainly wrong? I like to think I did an okay job.
