How to understand Nietzsche's style

How to read Nietzsche and ANY philosopher who writes in a distinctive literary way? If you want to transform how you read Friedrich Nietzsche, this video is for you.

This video psychologically demanding - it can help both experienced philosophers and amateurs who wish to know where to start with Nietzsche.

In this video lecture I look at Friedrich Nietzsche's literary style: why did Nietzsche write like he did? I discuss Brian Leiter on Nietzsche and explore how Leiter misses the point in his discuss of the relationship philosopher Bernard Williams had with Nietzsche. I briefly discuss the friendship Bernard Williams had with Bryan Magee. Philosophers Miranda Fricker, Charles Taylor and Avishai Margalit get a mention too.

The first secret to understanding Nietzsche is about seeing that ideas wear rhetorical clothes. The second secret is about understanding that for Nietzsche philosophical concerns matter more than beliefs. The third secret is about understanding the primacy of philosophical process over result. The fourth secret is about tips and tricks for how to engage the three best books by Nietzsche - The Genealogy of Morality, The Gay Science and Beyond Good and Evil.
