This is the Nietzsche Thread
This thread exists for any and all serious inquires, questions, arguments or discussions of, or about, Nietzsche's ideas.

Nietzsche is one of the most complex and difficult to interpret of all western political theorists. His also, by far, one of the most significant.
One of the reasons that Nietzsche is particularly important and/or significant is that his words and ideas are not 'historical'. They are here, they are now - they inform and define the current intellectual environment of the world we live in. And most significantly, no one (to the best of my knowledge) has managed to provide any substantive 'rebuttal' to Herr Nietzsche's general theoretical assertions, as yet. This is part of the complexity and the mystique of Nietzsche.
I don't claim to be any 'super-expert' on Nietzsche, only that I do have a MA in Philosophy and I have studied Nietzsche (like Plato and Rousseau) extensively at both the undergraduate and graduate levels (and continuously since). I am personally very interested in the topic and thus any explication of Nietzsche's ideas here will certainly be coloured by my own interpretation of Nietzsche's works.
Caveat emptor.
I personally have no particular agenda to argue or advance here regarding Nietzsche. I'm only making a place available here for Nietzsche discussions that might otherwise intrude upon other threads.
I will be happy to reply to any (serious) questions posted, to the best of my ability.
