I wondered what your opinions on these philosophers were. I think Nietzsche has some excellent ideas but also some bizarre ones. I love the view of man not as an end unto himself, but as a bridge to the future. Schöpenhauer I am not that familiar with, but I am preparing to read Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung. I know both of them were quite misogynistic, that is one aspect of their work that I strongly dislike. As far as the Will to Power dynamic, I apply it to races and to a lesser extent societies, but not to individuals within a society. Also, what do people think about the Apollonian-Dionysian dialectic? I'd like to hear other WN perspectives.
