Challenging Philosophy and the Philosophers: Explaining Nietzsche to Academic Philosophers

Description

“You who are glad of riddles! Guess me this riddle that I saw then, interpret me the vision of the loneliest. For it was a vision and a foreseeing. What did I see then in a parable? And who is it who must yet come one day? Who is the shepherd into whose throat the snake crawled thus? Who is the man into whose throat all that is heaviest and blackest will crawl thus?” -- Friedrich Nietzsche

This is probably the most enigmatic set of riddles ever posed by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. These riddles, posed in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, have never been solved --- until now. For those who desire to peer into the mind of the greatest philosophical genius of the last 132 years and solve the riddles he raised, this book will finally provide the solution to the riddles. The reader may not like some of the concepts presented in this book for they might first appear as fictional because of how hard to believe they are. It will anger some, probably many, given the pointed polemic nature of part of this manuscript, but none of the polemic is undeserved as the reader will discover. The concepts presented in this book have been publicly available since the writings by Carlos Castenada, but the public has been misdirected by Castenada’s concocted tales of mysticism and missed the pragmatic teachings of his sponsor Don Juan. The author has seen no scholar that has been able, or even tried to correlate the works of Nietzsche and don Juan. The focus of the book is to finally reveal what it was that Nietzsche so enigmatically alluded to in his least understood and most ‘esoteric’ writings. What you will find is not what you expect, but it fully explains what Nietzsche experienced and tried to share with the world.
