48431[ Pg 84] CHAPTER VIII THE EGOTISM OF IDEAS When we are discussing egotism need we speak of Hegel?
47588Am I not right?
47588An aphorism of Nietzsche''s reads:"What is public opinion?
47588And herewith he has arrived at his final answer to the question, What is culture?
47588And my first question is this: What is the value of this man, is he interesting, or not?
47588And shuddering it asketh: Who is to be master of the world?
47588And what state is farthest removed from a state of culture?
47588And who are the evil in this morality of the oppressed?
47588Are you a musician?
47588But can we say as much of the devil?--Are we not deceived?
47588But does such a state exist?
47588But what does that mean-- good?
47588But what of the voice and judgment of conscience?
47588But why do you not_ dig_ deeper here?
47588But why happiness for the greatest number?
47588But, my dear Sir, what a surprise is this!--Where have you found the courage to propose to speak in public of a_ vir obscurissimus_?...
47588Can we not turn it upside- down?

47588Do you imagine that I am known in the beloved Fatherland?
47588Especially they who call themselves the good, they sting in all innocence, they lie in all innocence; how could they be just towards me?

47588How is he to find himself in himself, how is he to dig himself out of himself?
47588I do not know whether the impression was so deep because I was so ill. Do you know Bizet''s widow?

47588Is it not rather evil?--Is not God refuted?

47588What kind of a nature is it that so passionately defines culture as the worship of genius?

47588Why should not a day from my seventieth year be exactly like my day to- day?
47588Why so hard?
47588_ What saith the deep midnight_?
47588and deceived deceivers, all of us?...
49316And what is freedom? 49316 Is there a state more blessed,"he asked,"than that of a woman with child?...
49316Strauss,he said,"utterly evades the question, What is the meaning of life?
49316What does a philosopher firstly and lastly require of himself?
49316Whom do I hate most among the rabble of today? 49316 [ 5] Kant''s proposal that the morality of every contemplated action be tested by the question,"Suppose everyone did as I propose to do?"
49316570?-500?)
49316And what is the mission of the lion?
49316And what is this king of all axioms and emperor of all fallacies?
49316And what was the goal that the philosopher had in mind for his immoralist?
49316And when do we approve his choice?
49316And why was this done?
49316And why?
49316And why?
49316And why?
49316But a gap remains and it may be expressed in the question: How is a man to define and determine his own welfare and that of the race after him?
49316But how do fear and foresight operate to make one man concede rights to another man?
49316But how will he know when he has attained this end?
49316But there still remained a problem and it was this: When the superman at last appears on earth, what then?
49316But what is its nature and what is its origin?
49316But what will be the effect of eternal recurrence upon the superman?
49316But what, then, is conscience?
49316But why did the Greeks regard life as a conflict?
49316By what standard was his immoralist to separate the good-- or beneficial-- things of the world from the bad-- or damaging-- things?
49316Did he believe the human race would progress until men became gods and controlled the sun and stars as they now control the flow of great rivers?
49316Dr. Mügge quotes a few of them:"What is good and what is evil?

49316How are we to explain it away?
49316How will he avoid going mad with doubts about his own knowledge?
49316How, then, are we to determine which of these men has drawn the proper conclusion?
49316If it is not the regret which follows punishment, what is it?
49316If so, must he not suffer agonies on seeing his creatures, in their struggle for knowledge of him, submit to tortures for all eternity?
49316If this is so, why should any man bother about moral rules and regulations?
49316In the end, will man become the equal of the creator of the universe, whoever or whatever He may be?
49316Interesting discussions of various Nietzschean ideas are in"The Revival of Aristocracy,"by Dr. Oscar Levy;"Who is to be Master of the World?"
49316Is he not a cruel god if he knows the truth and yet looks down upon millions miserably searching for it?
49316It was first voiced by that high priest who"rent his clothes"and cried"What need have we of any further witnesses?
49316Let your labor be fighting and your peace victory.... You say that a good cause will hallow even war?
49316Must it not strike him with grief to realize that he can not advise them or help them, except by uncertain and ambiguous signs?...
49316Or did he believe that the end of it all would be annihilation?
49316Practically and in plain language, what does all this mean?
49316Suppose you have failed?
49316That which does not live, he argued, can not exercise a will to live, and when a thing is already in existence, how can it strive after existence?
49316The free man is a warrior.... How is freedom to be measured?
49316Therefore he seeketh woman as the most dangerous toy within his reach.... Thou goest to women?
49316Therefore, why deny it?
49316To all the test of fundamental truth was applied: of everything Nietzsche asked, not, Is it respectable or lawful?
49316Wagner was his friend of old?
49316Was it because the ruling class was possessed by a boundless love for humanity and so yearned to lavish upon it a wealth of Christian devotion?
49316Was there ever a more hideous old woman among all the old women?
49316What are his burdens?
49316What are many years worth?
49316What child has not reason to weep over its parents?"
49316What had Nietzsche to offer in place of these things?
49316What is your fatherland?
49316What sounder test of a creed''s essential value can we imagine than that of its visible influence upon the men who subscribe to it?
49316What was the goal Nietzsche had in mind for his immoralist?
49316What was to be the final outcome of his overturning of all morality?
49316What, to man, is the ape?
49316Whether it is human, liberal, humane, whether unhuman, illiberal, unhumane, what do I ask about that?
49316Whether what I think and do is Christian, what do I care?
49316Why call it a sin to do what every man does, insofar as he can?
49316Why make it a crime to do what every man''s instincts prompt him to do?
49316Why should any man conform to laws formulated by a people whose outlook on the universe probably differed diametrically from his own?
49316Will there be another super- superman to follow and a super- supersuperman after that?
49316Wipe out your masculine defender, and your feminine parasite-_haus- frau_--and where is your family?
49316With what, then, has he to fight his hardest fight?
49316You say that Christianity has made the world better?
49316You say that it is comforting and uplifting?
49316You say that it is the best religion mankind has ever invented?
49316[ 5] But upon what theory is prayer based?
49316and, Is the presentation of it likely to make the pupil measurably more capable of discovering other facts?
49316but, Is it essentially true?
49316what call I that?
5652But what do I see? 5652 This is a defect,"he cries,"but can you believe that it may also appear as an advantage?"
5652Where are my natural allies, with whom I may struggle against the ever waxing and ever more oppressive pretensions of modern erudition? 5652 Where are they who are suffering under the yoke of modern institutions?"
5652--but over whom?
5652A defeat?
5652A seeming dance of joy enjoined upon a sufferer?
5652Airs of overbearing pride assumed by one who is sick to the backbone?
5652Am I therefore to keep silence?
5652An accident?
5652And are n''t you accustomed to criticism on the part of German philosophers?
5652And how would it console a workman who chanced to get one of his limbs caught in the mechanism to know that this oil was trickling over him?
5652And is it your own sweet wish, Great Master, to found the religion of the future?
5652And now ask yourselves, ye generation of to- day, Was all this composed for you?
5652And will not the Meistersingers continue to acquaint men, even in the remotest ages to come, with the nature of Germany''s soul?
5652And, thirdly, how does he write his books?
5652And, viewed in this light, how does Strauss''s claim to originality appear?
5652Answer us here, then, at least: whence, whither, wherefore all science, if it do not lead to culture?
5652Are we still Christians?
5652At this stage we bring the other side of Wagner''s nature into view: but how shall we describe this other side?
5652Belike to barbarity?
5652But for whose benefit is this entertainment given?
5652But the question,"Are we still Christians?"
5652But what is the oil called which trickles down upon the hammers and stampers?
5652But what were his feelings withal?
5652But where does this imperative hail from?
5652But whoever can this Sweetmeat- Beethoven of Strauss''s be?
5652But why not, Great Master?
5652But would anybody believe that it might equally be a sign of something wanting?
5652But, in any case, would not complete annihilation be better than the wretched existing state of affairs?
5652Dare ye mention Schiller''s name without blushing?
5652Did Nietzsche, perchance, spare the Germans?
5652Do you, Master Metaphysician, perhaps intend to instruct the social democrats in the art of getting kicks?
5652Does it not seem almost like a fairy tale, to be able to come face to face with such a personality?
5652For are we not in the heaven of heavens?
5652For do we not all supply each other''s deficiencies?
5652For it no one has time-- and yet for what shall science have time if not for culture?
5652Granted; but what if the carters should begin building?
5652Had he such a purpose, such an ideal, such a direction?
5652Had not even Goethe, m his time, once grown tired of attending the rehearsals of his Iphigenia?
5652Has not a haven been found for all wanderers on high and desert seas, and has not peace settled over the face of the waters?
5652Have we still a religion?
5652Hence, if it be intended to regard German erudition as a thing apart, in what sense can German culture be said to have conquered?
5652How are they resuscitated?
5652How can I still bear it?"
5652How can we protect this homeless art through the ages until that remote future is reached?
5652How can ye, my worthy Philistines, think of Lessing without shame?
5652How could it have been possible for a type like that of the Culture- Philistine to develop?
5652How is it possible for any one to remain faithful here, to be completely steadfast?
5652How is this possible?
5652If now the strains of our German masters''music burst upon a mass of mankind sick to this extent, what is really the meaning of these strains?
5652In sooth, Great Master, why have you written such fusty little chapters?
5652In this, we have the answer to our first question: How does the believer in the new faith picture his heaven?
5652In what other artist do we meet with the like of this, in the same proportion?
5652In what work of art, of any kind, has the body and soul of the Middle Ages ever been so thoroughly depicted as in Lohengrin?
5652Influence-- the greatest amount of influence-- how?
5652Is it a shadow?
5652Is it reality?
5652Is this a sign that Strauss has never ceased to be a Christian theologian, and that he has therefore never learned to be a philosopher?
5652It can not matter so very much, therefore, even if one do give oneself away; for what could not the purple mantle of triumph conceal?
5652Let us imagine some one''s falling asleep while reading these chapters-- what would he most probably dream about?
5652Let us regard this as one of Wagner''s answers to the question, What does music mean in our time?
5652Now, however, our second question must be answered: How far does the courage lent to its adherents by this new faith extend?
5652Now, in this world of forms and intentional misunderstandings, what purpose is served by the appearance of souls overflowing with music?
5652Now, to whom does this captain of Philistines address these words?
5652Or is"new belief"merely an ironical concession to ordinary parlance?
5652Really?
5652Scaliger used to say:"What does it matter to us whether Montaigne drank red or white wine?"
5652Secondly, how far does the courage lent him by the new faith extend?
5652See the flashing eyes that glance contemptuously over your heads, the deadly red cheek-- do these things mean nothing to you?
5652Should one not answer: Music could not have been born in our time?
5652Should real music make itself heard, because mankind of all creatures least deserves to hear it, though it perhaps need it most?
5652So the asceticism and self- denial of the ancient anchorite and saint was merely a form of Katzenjammer?
5652Surely their object is not the earning of bread or the acquiring of posts of honour?
5652This is Wagner''s second answer to the question, What is the meaning of music in our times?
5652Thus his thoughts concentrated themselves upon the question, How do the people come into being?
5652Was it possible that we were the victims of the same hallucination as that to which our friend had been subjected in his dream?
5652We have our culture, say her sons; for have we not our"classics"?
5652What can it matter to us whether or not the little chapters were freshly written?
5652What does our Culture- Philistinism say of these seekers?
5652What is our conception of the universe?
5652What is our rule of life?
5652What is so generally interesting in them?
5652What merit should we then discover in the piety of those whom Strauss calls"We"?
5652What part did myth and music play in modern society, wherever they had not been actually sacrificed to it?
5652What power is sufficiently influential to deny this existence?
5652What secret meaning had the word"fidelity"to his whole being?
5652What then does its presence amongst us signify?
5652What, for instance, must Alexander the Great have seen in that instant when he caused Asia and Europe to be drunk out of the same goblet?
5652Whatever does he do it for?
5652Where is that number of souls that I wish to see become a people, that ye may share the same joys and comforts with me?
5652Where is the Strauss- Darwin morality here?
5652Which of us can exist without the waters of purification?
5652Which of us has not soiled his hands and heart in the disgusting idolatry of modern culture?
5652Whither, above all, has the courage gone?
5652Whither?
5652Who among you would renounce power, knowing and having learned that power is evil?
5652Who could now persist in doubting the existence of this incomparable skill?
5652Who does not hear the voice which cries,"Be silent and cleansed"?
5652Who, indeed, will enlighten us concerning this Sweetmeat- Beethoven, if not Strauss himself-- the only person who seems to know anything about him?
5652Whoever would have desired to possess the confessions, say, of a Ranke or a Mommsen?
5652Why are there no eyes to see, no ears to hear, no hearts to feel, no brains to understand?
5652Why did this star seem to him the brightest and purest of all?
5652Why is there no male audience in England willing to listen to a manly and daring philosophy?
5652Why should one, without further ceremony, immediately think of Christianity at the sound of the words"old faith"?
5652Why, pray, art thou there at all?
5652Will they not do more than acquaint men of it?
5652and Whence?
5652and even granting its development, how was it able to rise to the powerful Position of supreme judge concerning all questions of German culture?
5652and of what order are his religious documents?
5652and where are the Siegfrieds, among you?
5652and where are the free and fearless, developing and blossoming in innocent egoism?
5652if, for example, the Creator Himself had shared Lessing''s conviction of the superiority of struggle to tranquil possession?"
4363And the praise of the self- sacrificer?
4363Are not our ears already full of bad sounds?
4363HOW COULD anything originate out of its opposite? 4363 How are synthetic judgments a priori POSSIBLE?"
4363How many centuries does a mind require to be understood?
4363Is it not sufficient if the criminal be rendered HARMLESS? 4363 Miracle"only an error of interpretation?
4363Sir,the philosopher will perhaps give him to understand,"it is improbable that you are not mistaken, but why should it be the truth?"
4363To refresh me? 4363 What?
4363You want to prepossess him in your favour? 4363 ( Is not a moralist the opposite of a Puritan? 4363 --Stronger, more evil, and more profound?"
4363--And Socrates?--And the"scientific man"?
4363--Did any one ever answer so?
4363--even such a virtuous and sincere ass would learn in a short time to have recourse to the FURCA of Horace, NATURAM EXPELLERE: with what results?
4363--is it not so?
4363--might it not be bluntly replied: WHY?
4363278.--Wanderer, who art thou?
4363281.--"Will people believe it of me?
4363282.--"But what has happened to you?"
436392. Who has not, at one time or another-- sacrificed himself for the sake of his good name?
4363A great man?
4363A lack of philology?
4363A wrestler, by himself too oft self- wrung?
4363All respect to governesses, but is it not time that philosophy should renounce governess- faith?
4363Am I an other?
4363An evil huntsman was I?
4363An explanation?
4363And after all, what do we know of ourselves?
4363And all that is now to be at an end?
4363And even if they were right-- have not all Gods hitherto been such sanctified, re- baptized devils?
4363And granted that your imperative,"living according to Nature,"means actually the same as"living according to life"--how could you do DIFFERENTLY?
4363And how many spirits we harbour?
4363And is there anything finer than to SEARCH for one''s own virtues?
4363And others say even that the external world is the work of our organs?
4363And perhaps also the arrow, the duty, and, who knows?
4363And perhaps ye are also something of the same kind, ye coming ones?
4363And that the"tropical man"must be discredited at all costs, whether as disease and deterioration of mankind, or as his own hell and self- torture?
4363And the DISENCHANTMENT of woman is in progress?
4363And this would not be-- circulus vitiosus deus?
4363And to any one who suggested:"But to a fiction belongs an originator?"
4363And to ask once more the question: Is greatness POSSIBLE-- nowadays?
4363And uncertainty?
4363And was it ever otherwise?
4363And what I am, to you my friends, now am I not?
4363And what the spirit that leads us wants TO BE CALLED?
4363And whoever thou art, what is it that now pleases thee?
4363And why?
4363And, in so far as we now comprehend this, is it not-- thereby already past?
4363Are you absolutely obliged to straighten at once what is crooked?
4363Around the hero everything becomes a tragedy; around the demigod everything becomes a satyr- play; and around God everything becomes-- what?
4363Became a ghost haunting the glaciers bare?
4363But give me, I pray thee---"What?
4363But she does not want truth-- what does woman care for truth?
4363But such replies belong to the realm of comedy, and it is high time to replace the Kantian question,"How are synthetic judgments a PRIORI possible?"
4363But who would attempt to express accurately what all these masters of new modes of speech could not express distinctly?
4363But, is that-- an answer?
4363COMMENT NE PAS SUPPOSER QUE C''EST DANS CES MOMENTS- LA, QUE L''HOMME VOIT LE MIEUX?"...
4363Consequently, the external world is NOT the work of our organs--?
4363Did he perhaps deserve to be laughed at when he thus exhorted systems of morals to practise morality?
4363Did she ever find out?
4363Does he not-- go back?"
4363Does it not seem that there is a hatred of the virgin forest and of the tropics among moralists?
4363Does not that mean in popular language: God is disproved, but not the devil?"
4363Even an action for love''s sake shall be"unegoistic"?
4363Even ignorance?
4363FROM THE HEIGHTS( POEM TRANSLATED BY L.A. MAGNUS) PREFACE SUPPOSING that Truth is a woman-- what then?
4363Finally, I ask the question: Did a woman herself ever acknowledge profundity in a woman''s mind, or justice in a woman''s heart?
4363Finally, what still remained to be sacrificed?
4363For example, truth out of error?
4363From German body, this self- lacerating?
4363Granted that we want the truth: WHY NOT RATHER untruth?
4363Had the wicked Socrates really corrupted him?
4363Hand, gait, face, changed?
4363Has not the time leisure?
4363Have I forgotten myself so far that I have not even told you his name?
4363Have not we ourselves been-- that"noble posterity"?
4363Have there ever been such philosophers?
4363He who has such sentiments, he who has such KNOWLEDGE about love-- SEEKS for death!--But why should one deal with such painful matters?
4363Hindering too oft my own self''s potency, Wounded and hampered by self- victory?
4363How could he fail-- to long DIFFERENTLY for happiness?
4363How does opium induce sleep?
4363How is the negation of will POSSIBLE?
4363I am not I?
4363In favour of the temperate men?
4363In favour of the"temperate zones"?
4363Indeed, what is it that forces us in general to the supposition that there is an essential opposition of"true"and"false"?
4363Indeed, who could doubt that it is a useful thing for SUCH minds to have the ascendancy for a time?
4363Is it any wonder if we at last grow distrustful, lose patience, and turn impatiently away?
4363Is it necessary that you should so salt your truth that it will no longer-- quench thirst?
4363Is it not almost to BELIEVE in one''s own virtues?
4363Is it not at length permitted to be a little ironical towards the subject, just as towards the predicate and object?
4363Is it not in the very worst taste that woman thus sets herself up to be scientific?
4363Is moralizing not- immoral?)
4363Is not life a hundred times too short for us-- to bore ourselves?
4363Is not living valuing, preferring, being unjust, being limited, endeavouring to be different?
4363Is not the glacier''s grey today for you Rose- garlanded?
4363Is ours this faltering, falling, shambling, This quite uncertain ding- dong- dangling?
4363Is ours this priestly hand- dilation, This incense- fuming exaltation?
4363Is that really-- a pessimist?
4363Is there not time enough for that?
4363It IS characteristic of the Germans that the question:"What is German?"
4363It is not enough to possess a talent: one must also have your permission to possess it;--eh, my friends?
4363It may happen, too, that in the frankness of my story I must go further than is agreeable to the strict usages of your ears?
4363Kant asks himself-- and what is really his answer?
4363Let us examine more closely: what is the scientific man?
4363MUST there not be such philosophers some day?
4363May not this"belong"also belong to the fiction?
4363Might not the philosopher elevate himself above faith in grammar?
4363My honey-- who hath sipped its fragrancy?
4363My table was spread out for you on high-- Who dwelleth so Star- near, so near the grisly pit below?-- My realm-- what realm hath wider boundary?
4363Not long ago you were so variegated, young and malicious, so full of thorns and secret spices, that you made me sneeze and laugh-- and now?
4363Of whom am I talking to you?
4363Oh, ye demons, can ye not at all WAIT?
4363One MUST repay good and ill; but why just to the person who did us good or ill?
4363Or is it not rather merely a repetition of the question?
4363Or stupid enough?
4363Or, to put the question differently:"Why knowledge at all?"
4363Or:"Even if the door were open, why should I enter immediately?"
4363Or:"What is the use of any hasty hypotheses?
4363She is modest enough to love even you?
4363Should not the CONTRARY only be the right disguise for the shame of a God to go about in?
4363Strange am I to Me?
4363THE DANGER IN HAPPINESS.--"Everything now turns out best for me, I now love every fate:--who would like to be my fate?"
4363That is to say, as a thinker who regards morality as questionable, as worthy of interrogation, in short, as a problem?
4363That this Sphinx teaches us at last to ask questions ourselves?
4363The image of such leaders hovers before OUR eyes:--is it lawful for me to say it aloud, ye free spirits?
4363The problem of the value of truth presented itself before us-- or was it we who presented ourselves before the problem?
4363The tediousness of woman is slowly evolving?
4363The"moral"?
4363Their"knowing"is CREATING, their creating is a law- giving, their will to truth is-- WILL TO POWER.--Are there at present such philosophers?
4363There I learned to dwell Where no man dwells, on lonesome ice- lorn fell, And unlearned Man and God and curse and prayer?
4363There must be a sort of repugnance in me to BELIEVE anything definite about myself.--Is there perhaps some enigma therein?
4363There, however, he deceived himself; but who would not have deceived himself in his place?
4363They will smile, those rigorous spirits, when any one says in their presence"That thought elevates me, why should it not be true?"
4363To famish apart?
4363To live-- is not that just endeavouring to be otherwise than this Nature?
4363To love one''s enemies?
4363To refresh me?
4363Uneaseful joy to look, to lurk, to hark-- I peer for friends, am ready day and night,-- Where linger ye, my friends?
4363Unless it be that you have already divined of your own accord who this questionable God and spirit is, that wishes to be PRAISED in such a manner?
4363WHAT IS NOBLE?
4363WHAT really is this"Will to Truth"in us?
4363WHO is it really that puts questions to us here?
4363Was Socrates after all a corrupter of youths, and deserved his hemlock?"
4363Was he wrong?
4363Was it not necessary to sacrifice God himself, and out of cruelty to themselves to worship stone, stupidity, gravity, fate, nothingness?
4363Was that a work for your hands?
4363What avail is it?
4363What does all modern philosophy mainly do?
4363What does the word"noble"still mean for us nowadays?
4363What gives me the right to speak of an''ego,''and even of an''ego''as cause, and finally of an''ego''as cause of thought?"
4363What is clear, what is"explained"?
4363What is noble?
4363What linked us once together, one hope''s tie--( Who now doth con Those lines, now fading, Love once wrote thereon?)
4363What will serve to refresh thee?
4363What will the moral philosophers who appear at this time have to preach?
4363What wonder that we"free spirits"are not exactly the most communicative spirits?
4363What, then, is the attitude of the two greatest religions above- mentioned to the SURPLUS of failures in life?
4363What?
4363What?
4363What?
4363What?
4363Which of us is the Oedipus here?
4363Which the Sphinx?
4363Whom I thank when in my bliss?
4363Why Atheism nowadays?
4363Why NOT?
4363Why did we choose it, this foolish task?
4363Why do I believe in cause and effect?
4363Why might not the world WHICH CONCERNS US-- be a fiction?
4363Why should we still punish?
4363Why should you make a principle out of what you yourselves are, and must be?
4363Will they be new friends of"truth,"these coming philosophers?
4363Woe me,--yet I am not He whom ye seek?
4363Yet from Me sprung?
4363You desire to LIVE"according to Nature"?
4363and what guarantee would it give that it would not continue to do what it has always been doing?
4363by another question,"Why is belief in such judgments necessary?"
4363for what purpose?
4363into a new light?
4363or the Will to Truth out of the will to deception?
4363or the generous deed out of selfishness?
4363or the pure sun- bright vision of the wise man out of covetousness?
4363or"That artist enlarges me, why should he not be great?"
4363or"That work enchants me, why should it not be beautiful?"
4363perhaps a"world"?
4363that we do not wish to betray in every respect WHAT a spirit can free itself from, and WHERE perhaps it will then be driven?
4363to stuff every hole with some kind of oakum?
4363towards a new sun?
4363what hast thou done?
4363what?
4363ye NEW philosophers?
