Will to Power - Nietzsche

[Mortimer]

......

Any argument for that statement perhaps?

because when i read the word "Übermensch" i get allergic

And why is that?

Becuase those two were the biggest influence on hitler, they shaped hitler's views on jews and the wolrd.

No, that is called intellectual laziness.

So that make's them responsible for Hitler's actions? I see a fallacy.

I don't know if this is his work I'd recommend to begin with, as it is a pretty arbitrary selection form a later publisher from just some of Nietzsche's unpublished notes (which as a whole consist of several volumes, they have been recently integrally published in Colli - Montieri edition).

I think one must have a previous knowledge from Nietszche's thought to face the posthumous fragments.

I agree fully. One has to read the Will to Power knowing that it is not a polished work and the ideas are very rough around the edges. But for someone who is familiar with Nietzsche, I do highly recommend the book. My favorite.

Nietzsche and Wagner are responsible for the holocaust, not Hitler.

But then who helped shaped Nietzsche and Wagner's ideas on life? Surely they are the ones responsible for the holocaust.

It's not the ideas, it's how they are put into practice.
