if you want to understand what's going on zoom out and look at the last 200 years of civilization and society. Nietzsche is probably the best resource who predicted this. You can read "Ecco Homo" or "Thus spoke Zarathistra" and see the parallels in our modern life. He predicted the herd mentality which we've created. We despise and fear mental pain which is required for growing and most of us…
…Sartre can't get it right, can a random newcomer understand it the way Heidegger intended? As far as Nietzsche goes - by his own words (he is very clear about this in one of his books - I think it was ecco homo) - you're supposed to have read ALL of the works of Kant and then Schopenhauer before you can even understand Nietzsche. Not that many people agree with him about that, but it did color my perception…
…nothing to do with either world war. You’re likely trying to blame Nietzsche, who was the polar opposite of a nihilist, for German nationalism. The radical optimist Nietzsche, in his old age while writing Ecco homo, disavowed his German heritage and spoke about how awesome Poland and his polish identity were. Nihilism is only just now having an impact in the academy as it is the intellectual foundation of post…
如果你想看清到底怎么回事，把视野拉远一点，看看过去200年的文明和社会。尼采大概是预见到这一切最绝的参考。你可以去翻翻《瞧！这个人》（Ecco Homo）或者《查拉图斯特拉如是说》，能找到无数和现代生活的呼应。他早就预言了我们今天搞出来的羊群心态。我们鄙视并恐惧成长所必需的精神痛苦，而我们大多数人……

……萨特都搞不明白的话，一个路人新手难道还能完全按照海德格尔的原意去理解吗？至于尼采——按他自己的说法（他在自己的一本书里说得很直白，我记得是《瞧！这个人》）——在能看懂尼采之前，你得把康德和叔本华的所有著作通读一遍才行。虽然没多少人认同他这个说法，但这确实影响了我对……的看法

……跟两次世界大战半毛钱关系都没有。你大概是想把德国民族主义的锅甩给尼采，但他是彻底反虚无主义的。极度乐观主义的尼采晚年在写《瞧！这个人》时，甚至直接撇清了自己和德国血统的关系，大谈波兰以及自己的波兰人身份有多牛逼。虚无主义直到现在才开始在学术圈产生实质影响，因为它是后……的知识根基
