Nika, Nietzsche, and the Philosophy of Joyous Liberation

A One Piece video about Nietzsche, and a Nietzsche video about One Piece.

Primary Primary Sources:

Nietzsche, “On the Genealogy of Morals,” Essay 1 — the primary discussion of ressentiment, master & slave morality and their respective origins, and the source of the quote from Tertulian
Nietzsche, “Beyond Good and Evil,” 260 — master & slave morality, and their respective characteristics, summarized in a single aphorism

Secondary Primary Sources:

Nietzsche, “The Gay Science,” 299, 335 — and really the whole 4th book; Nietzsche’s discussion of life as art: self-creation, self-production, “becoming who you are”
Nietzsche, “Twilight of the Idols,” Skirmishes 38 — Nietzsche’s discussion of freedom
Nietzsche, “Daybreak” (also translated as “The Dawn”), 575
Nietzsche, “The Will to Power,” 37
Nietzsche, “Thus Spoke Zarathustra,” On the Way of the Creator (First Part); On Self-Overcoming (Second Part) — freedom “from” vs. freedom “for”

All translations are Walter Kaufmann’s, excepting that of Daybreak, translated by R.J. Hollingdale. Numbers are aphorism/section numbers, not page numbers.

Primary Secondary Sources:

Bernard Reginster, “Nietzsche on Ressentiment and Valuation” (in Philosophy and Phenomenological Research) — the source of the “three phase” structure of resentment presented, albeit slightly modified
Deleuze, “Nietzsche” (in Pure Immanence: Essays on a Life) — who makes the "affirmation"/"negation" distinction systematic
Richard White, “The Return of the Master” (in Nietzsche, Genealogy, Morality)

Secondary Secondary Sources:

Walter Kaufmann, “Nietzsche: Philosopher, Psychologist, Antichrist”
Bernard Williams, “Nietzsche’s Minimalist Moral Psychology” (in Nietzsche, Genealogy, Morality)
Jonas Ceika, “How to Philosophize with a Hammer and Sickle”
John Richardson, "Nietzsche's System"
