The REAL PHILOSOPHY of NIETZSCHE: Self-Overcoming, Will to Power, and Freedom

In this episode of the Philosophy Hour of Literary Tales, we explore the largely misunderstood philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche's philosophy is based on self-overcoming and struggle, that life is struggle and the meaning of existence is constant struggle to become power and freedom. We also deconstruct the false readings of Nietzsche's anti-Christianity to understand what he actually thought about Christianity and why he assailed it. In summarizing Nietzsche, we also deal with his criticism of liberalism and socialism and communism.
