Sinopse

Based on the translation by Graham Parkes - To understand Nietzsche, one must understand Plato and Christianity. To bring you up to speed on this, Alex explains the mystical religious experience, how this leads to a certain interpretation of the world, how this metaphysical worldview, in conjunction with how language and human thinking operate, created the ethical system, institutions, ideas, and customs that we have today. Nietzsche is severely critical of this several-millennia old way of seeing things, and in our path to better understand ourselves and the world, we must take the long trip from Plato and Christ's static Good reality to Nietzsche's dynamic, good & evil, and physiological interpretation of human reality.
