Bend into the mountain
Falling for Nietzsche, a philosopher who is troubling in a hundred dimensions
CRISPIN SARTWELL
A certain sort of very young man – a sort that both I and John Kaag once were – falls hard for Friedrich Nietzsche, for the incomparable boldness of his voice, the way he systematically undermines and ridicules the tradition from which he emerges, the intensity with which he expresses and hence achieves his individuality. Nietzsche refers to himself as “dynamite” and “a volcano”, and he blows things up right there on the page. That may strike a bookish young man as exciting stuff, as a kind of intellectual super-hero film, featuring the Overman. Nietzsche’s self-enactment is, furthermore, theatrically masculine, and presents the awkward proto-intellectual with a model of manliness. For me in the 1970s and Kaag in the 90s, reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra constituted an aggressively secular and in some respects rather unfortunate rite of passage into manhood.

--I offer a few examples of the sort of thing these petty people have got into their heads--what they have _put into the mouth_ of the Master: the unalloyed creed of "beautiful souls."-- "And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city" (Mark vi, 11)--How _evangelical_!... 黑體字 思高本缺
11無論何處不接待你們,或不聽從你們,你們就從那裡出去,拂去你們腳下的塵土,作為反對他們的證據。」
"And whosoever shall offend one of _these_ little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea" (Mark ix, 42).--How _evangelical_!...
42誰若使這些信者中的一個小子跌倒,倒不如拿一塊驢拉的磨石,套在他的脖子上,投在海裡,為他更好。
"And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire; Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." (Mark ix, 47.[15])--It is not exactly the eye that is meant....
45倘若你的眼使你跌倒,剜出它來!你一隻眼進入天主的國,比有兩隻眼被投入地獄裡更好,
[15] To which, without mentioning it, Nietzsche adds verse 48. "Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power." (Mark ix, 1.)--Well _lied_, lion![16]...
1耶穌又對他們說:「我實在告訴你們:站在這裡的人中,就有幾個在未嘗到死味以前,必要看見天主的國帶著威能降來。 [16] A paraphrase of Demetrius' "Well roar'd, Lion!" in act v, scene 1 of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." The lion, of course, is the familiar Christian symbol for Mark. "Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. _For_..." (_Note of a psychologist._ Christian morality is refuted by its _fors_: its reasons are against it,--this makes it Christian.) Mark viii, 34.--
34他遂召集群眾和門徒來,對他們說:「誰若願意跟隨我,該棄絕自己,背著自己的十字架,跟隨我,
"Judge not, that ye be not judged. With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." (Matthew vii, 1.[17])--What a notion of justice, of a "just" judge!... [17] Nietzsche also quotes part of verse 2. "For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more _than others_? do not even the publicans so?" (Matthew v, 46.[18])--Principle of "Christian love": it insists upon being well _paid_ in the end.... [18] The quotation also includes verse 47. "But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." (Matthew vi, 15.)--Very compromising for the said "father."... "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew vi, 33.)--All these things: namely, food, clothing, all the necessities of life. An _error_, to put it mildly.... A bit before this God appears as a tailor, at least in certain cases.... "Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward _is_ great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets." (Luke vi, 23.)--_Impudent_ rabble! It compares itself to the prophets.... "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and _that_ the spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, _him shall God destroy_; for the temple of God is holy, _which temple ye are_." (Paul, 1 Corinthians iii, 16.[19])--For that sort of thing one cannot have enough contempt.... [19] And 17. "Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?" (Paul, 1 Corinthians vi, 2.)--Unfortunately, not merely the speech of a lunatic.... This _frightful impostor_ then proceeds: "Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?"... "Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.... Not many wise men after the flesh, not men mighty, not many noble _are called_: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, _yea_, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence." (Paul, 1 Corinthians i, 20ff.[20])--In order to _understand_ this passage, a first-rate example of the psychology underlying every Chandala-morality, one should read the first part of my "Genealogy of Morals": there, for the first time, the antagonism between a _noble_ morality and a morality born of _ressentiment_ and impotent vengefulness is exhibited. Paul was the greatest of all apostles of revenge.... [20] Verses 20, 21, 26, 27, 28, 29.
