Nietzsche said: “I want to learn more and more  to see as beautiful what is necessary in things;  then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful.  Amor fati: let that be my love henceforth! . . .  And all in all and on the whole:  some day I wish to be only a Yes-sayer.”
With Keats Nietzsche is the herald of Triadic Philosophy Nietzsche sees the realm of human activity is the Aesthetic the place where truth and beauty become one Henceforth moralism is a silly endeavor Whether something is true and beautiful or not says it all Some see beauty in everything Amor fati means love your life
Those who practice Triadic Philosophy also see the ugliness in harm    and the effects of harm over time  Beauty then is prospect transformation where none seemed to exist It is here that the values that  are universal tolerance democracy helpfulness and non-idolatry cast their shining light  on the thought  that leads to what we will

Triadic Philosophy Glossary - Amor Fati ( Love Your Life)

Amor fati means love your life Amor fati  was Nietzsche's term for the sense that if life consisted solely of this moment you would love it and be content to relive it Amor fati is linked in Nietzsche to his ideas of  recurrence and eternal return
Triadic Philosphy embraces amor fati   but in the context of  continuity of moving forward of chronology eyes open to the present seeing what is there right under our noses Seizing every present  as a point at which you sense that truth and beauty are identical  as Keats makes clear in his Ode to A Grecian Urn
Amor fati is unforced It comes to mind when heralded It is dolce far niente (sweet doing nothing) in the midst of whatever you are doing Loving your life relates to  the sphere of all action in Triadic Philosophy The Aesthetic Yes  the theater of life is meant  to fuse truth and beauty  at every point not as some compulsive posturing but as your confident acceptance of the tendency and purpose of the cosmos Amor fati

Nietzsche, Assagioli, Peirce Precursors of Triadic Philosophy

Ineradicable blinkers from Nietzsche's Zarathustra

"Lo! I show you THE LAST MAN.

"What is love? What is creation? What is longing? What is a star?"--so asketh the last man and blinketh.

The earth hath then become small, and on it there hoppeth the last man who maketh everything small. His species is ineradicable like that of the ground-flea; the last man liveth longest.

"We have discovered happiness"--say the last men, and blink thereby.

They have left the regions where it is hard to live; for they need warmth. One still loveth one's neighbour and rubbeth against him; for one needeth warmth.

Turning ill and being distrustful, they consider sinful: they walk warily. He is a fool who still stumbleth over stones or men!

A little poison now and then: that maketh pleasant dreams. And much poison at last for a pleasant death."

New Tao Posts: The Tao honors no one and uplifts all

New Tao Posts: The Tao honors no one and uplifts all:

Values are subjects. Characteristics and virtues are predicates. Honor is not a subject. But it has been denoted a value by no less than Aristotle. Nietzsche was right in calling for a revaluation of values. Without telling us what the new values were owing to life-changing encounter with a cruelly-beaten horse in Turin followed by a decade of essential captivity prior to his death.

Mencken was the disciple Nietzsche did not need

From Mencken's introduction to his translation of Nietzsche's The Antichrist:In brief, what he saw in Christian ethics, under all the poetry and all the fine show of altruism and all the theoretical benefits therein, was a democratic effort to curb the egoism of the strong--a conspiracy of the _chandala_ against the free functioning of their superiors, nay, against the free progress of mankind.The use of the term chandala which refers to a low caste Indian who was regarded as the dregs of society demonstrates Mencken's animosity perfectly.Today's political conflicts demonstrate that it is values and not social standing that actually determines progress.Retrograde values reside at the very top of the economic and social ladder and are freely chosen by all manner of humankind.The higher ontological values of democracy, helpfulness, tolerance and non-idolatry reside in all individuals and dominate the passage of time whether we recognize them or not.Those who choose these higher values are the true force of  progress.I think Nietzsche might well have changed the views which enabled Mencken to engage in the slavish discipleship noted in the above quotation.

Where Nietzsche and Mencken are both wrong

Mencken from his introduction to Nietzche's The Antichrist.The fact is that Nietzsche had no interest whatever in the delusions of the plain people--that is, intrinsically. It seemed to him of small moment _what_ they believed, so long as it was safely imbecile. What he stood against was not their beliefs, but the elevation of those beliefs, by any sort of democratic process, to the dignity of a state philosophy--what he feared most was the pollution and crippling of the superior minority by intellectual disease from below.
This a bald statement of Menckens's low regard for the mass of people. Why is it wrong. Why was Nietzsche wrong insofar as he embraced the same view.For the same reason that racism is wrong.The ascription of special and elevated qualities according to class and wealth and occupancy of this or that elite is a profound and sad philosophical error.Our current Tea Party fracas is a case in point.Democracy is the value which cuts through this crap.It is why we have the positive moments like Tahrir Like the civil right movement of the 1960sThere is no class or elite or race that encompasses either saintly or despicable valuesThe ontological value of democracy can be willed by anyone and when it is willed it is not submersion in a hateful mass that it seeksIt is the same rights for all

Ontological values are values which, when willed, work to create progress.

The values Nietzsche might have arrived at, had he been able to complete his project of revaluing values, include democracy, tolerance and helpfulness. Non-idolatry is the root value which we can relate to Nietzsche's perspectivism. Most of the "values" Nietzsche actually espoused were virtues which, by definition, have no meaning unless they are linked to active values. (A killer can have courage.) This is the trap into which Aristotle also falls (Falstaff liberated him). It is the reason, in part, why the inherited global value system is woefully inadequate, both theoretically, and practically. Exist whether we will them or not. Ontological values are values which, when willed, work to create progress. They are core values.

That task of revaluation is ours. It is the work of this century. It is life and death work.

Short Form Content at Blogger: I believe that if Nietzsche had been able to complete his life work he would have agreed.

In his introduction to The Antichrist, H. L. Mencken (the translator) quotes Nietzsche:

"In me the Christianity of my forbears reaches its logical conclusion. In me the stern intellectual conscience that Christianity fosters and makes paramount turns _against_ Christianity. In me Christianity ... devours itself."

Ultimately Nietzsche liberates Christianity from creed and establishes it as a way of life which he claims had only one follower, Jesus.

What Nietzsche does not do is articulate the values of this way. Nietzsche skewers the existing values of Christianity (which he relates to resentment, weakness and a sheeplike mentality). But Nietzsche does not wrestle  what values Jesus would put in their place.  That task is ours. It is the work of this century. It is community work. It is a matter of life and death for the world.

I believe that if Nietzsche had been able to complete his life work he would have agreed.

What is good?--Whatever augments the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself, in man.Thus Nietzsche in The Antichrist.Nietzsche's will to power so defined reveals that he did not achieve the revaluation of values he intended with this final work, prior to his madness.Taking this in itself the response is Yes! The empowerment of humankind is indeed the intent of Abba and the clear aim of Jesus.But this empowerment relates precisely to the active presence of chosen values within us.The power that a bigot feels reflects a choice of values that is hardly goodI believe that if Nietzsche has been able to complete his life work he would have agreed.

Let us celebrate the critic not the ideologue

Critic - Associated Content from Yahoo! - associatedcontent.com: "Better Be a Critiic Than an Ideologue" That was the virtue of Peirce and Nietzsche who did not know each other's work but complemented one another and whose work, taken as a whole, represents the most profound change to both values and theology since Aristotle.

A Note to Nietzsche from the 21st Century

One day we shall have bar codes on our toes and slip our feet beneath the sensor rays

And calculate our worth for all to see and get reports on our birthdays

We'll play baseball in kiosks in real time and never feel a single drop of rain

Our doctoring will all take place online we'll have sweet liquids to block all our pain

The deaths we see through glasses will be real but we will learn to block them with a blink

We'll build bridges to somewhere in our minds and wonder why we once had kitchen sinks

John Boehner passes the honesty test with flying colors

Honest? If you read between the lines, he is the soul of truth. He promises to throw the country under the bus. He is a man of his word. Don't read his lips. Watch his deeds.

Harold Bloom Draws a Blank at Peirce

While not the most copious reader, I have delved into the works of Harold Bloom. When I became interested in Charles Sanders Peirce, finding in him a philosopher well beyond the ken of Nietzsche, which is saying a good deal, I naturally assumed that Bloom, who picks the celebrated from the tree of  literary fruition, would understand that Peirce had trumped and advanced virtually everything that Bloom thinks, period. But a perusal of Bloom's indexes reveals not one reference to Peirce. I am among those who counts Peirce to be a writer of no mean ability. And a philosopher whose integrative approach, with its stupendous accents, must humble virtually every celebrated representative of every field of knowledge upon the globe. Actually, if you look at my sidebar for the Peirce note, you will see why Bloom missed the boat. Most everyone else has as well. Because the Feibleman book, introduced by Bertrand Russell, has long been out of print and MIT has no apparent attention of re-releasing it. And all we have is Brandt's moralistic and overall censorious biography of Peirce written some time ago. Sad for us. Sad for Bloom. Yet Peirce prevails. This is his world, no longer Shakespeare's alone.
