Good evening /christian/,
I'm sure I share a love for literature and reading with you. There are all manner of books and authors I would like to read. One of them is Friedrich Nietzsche. Now of course I oppose Nietzsche simply on the basis of his anti-Christianity and tendency towards nihilism and subjectivity, evidenced by his rejection of God as the Divine Logos. I do however, based on my very limited knowledge, believe that Nietzsche in his worldview acknowledges certain truths about human behavior and motivation. Mainly in the idea of "The Will to Power". Whether or not I am wrong, right, or ignorant about the matter, I would like to read him for myself.
I come asking for advice on the subject. For those who have read his work, what should I read, what order should I read it in, is there anything I should know about him beforehand, etc…
Since my being confirmed Catholic a couple of weeks ago, I have felt as though a new chapter in my life has been reached. Presently I am a somewhat aimless, unmotivated, lanklet who struggles with mortal sin. However, I am on track to make efforts to fix it by God's help. Reading more is a part of this effort. Reading Nietzsche may be a part of this effort. At any rate, I appreciate your input. I will attempt to respond as much as I can.
