32. About Eugen Kretzer. Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche by Lic. Dr. Eugen Kretzer. Enthusiastic and understanding approval with regard to the first writings. – Correct insight that “Zarathustra” does not signify a new epoch – no understanding of the second epoch. Everything is explained by illness. A Christian's protest against the Antichrist. The point that matters in Nietzsche's last period is nowhere sharply emphasized; in his last period, Nietzsche is namely the negator of all kinds of knowledge, because he is the affirmator of life. Knowledge presupposes a reality that we do not have, that we strive for. Nietzschean reality is to be within ourselves, to be created by us. We are not to be cognizers, creators; we are to be commanders. This also applies to morality. Anyone who clings to a “should” and wants to recognize good and evil is placing the source of morality outside of themselves. Nietzsche wants to determine morality; to create, not to cognize – and therefore, to be beyond good and evil.
