Study Notes

The Strong Advance Humanity

  • Strongest and most evil spirits do the most to advance humanity
  • They re-ignite passions that ordered society suppresses
  • They renew comparison, contradiction, and the appeal of the novel and untried
  • New religions and moralities challenge existing norms, sometimes through force
  • Teachers and preachers of the new display a "wickedness" akin to conquerors, though subtler
  • New ideas are always evil due to their desire to conquer old ways
  • Only established ways are considered good
  • Good men preserve old thoughts, like farmers of the spirit, but eventually, evil must re-emerge
  • Moral doctrine states equating "good" with "expedient" and "evil" with "inexpedient" is erroneous
  • Instincts deemed evil are as expedient and vital to species preservation as those deemed good

Loss of Dignity

  • Reflecting, ceremony, and solemn gestures have become ridiculous
  • The old-style wise man is intolerable
  • Thinking occurs too rapidly, without preparation or silence
  • People rely on a constant mental machine, even in unfavorable conditions
  • Thoughtful contemplation was once rare and required prayer-like preparation and stillness

A Study of Morals' Immense Field

  • Studying moral matters requires exploring individual passions across ages, peoples, and individuals
  • All reasons, evaluations, and perspectives must be considered
  • History lacks accounts of love, avarice, envy, conscience, tradition respect, or cruelty
  • Comparative history of law and punishment is incomplete
  • There has been a lack of study of how days are divided up, the consequences of regular schedules for work, festivals and rest
  • Also, to what extent the moral effects of food are known

The Constant Revival of Noisy Agitation

  • No philosophy against vegetarianism
  • No collections of men's experiences living together in monasteries
  • No dialectic of marriage and friendship ever been explicated
  • The manners of businessmen, artists, artisans have not been studied or even thought about
  • All reason, passion, and superstition ever viewed as the conditions of their existence has not been exhaustively researched
  • Industrious people consider the topic too much work
  • Generations of collaborating scholars would be needed to exhaust the points of view and the material
  • The same applies to demonstrating differences in differing moral climates
  • Determining the erroneousness of reasons for differing moral judgments to date is another job
  • If such jobs were done, the question of if science can furnish goals of action after proving it can take away and annihilate them would arise
  • Such experimentation would allow heroism to find satisfaction

Science Not Building Cyclopic Buildings

  • Cyclopic buildings made from science have not been built yet

Virtues

  • Conscious human qualities; especially visibility and obviousness for others are taken for granted
  • These human qualities develop differently to the human qualities of what they also know either badly or not all

Credulous and Mistrustful

  • Man has been credulous for a long time and man has only become a mistrustful animal after an immense self-conquest
  • Man is now likely more evil than ever before

Historia Abscondita's RetroActive Force

  • Great human beings exert this force
  • For the sake of great human beings; all of history is again placed into balance
  • A thousand ancient secrets crawl out of their respective hiding places-into the sunshine
  • Perhaps the way of telling what may yet become part of history does not exist
  • The past is still essentially undiscovered, this is why retroactive forces are vital

Customary Thinking Not the Result of Intellect

  • Thinking in a way that is not customary is less a result of superior intellect, but rather strong evil inclinations
  • It may lead to being detached and isolated one, and that are defiant, nasty, and malicious
  • Heresy is the pendant of witchcraft and surely no more harmless and least of all anything essentially venerable
  • Heretics and witches are two species of evil human beings, with the feature they also feel that they are evil
  • Heretics and witches are impelled by an unconquerable lust to harm what is dominant whether people or opinions
  • The Reformation, which was a re-doubled intensification of the medieval spirit, produced both in the greatest abundance

  • People feel homesick for land as if it offered the freedom to travel

Seeking God Provokes Laughter

  • In bright morning hours, a madman lit a lantern and ran to the market place and loudly proclaimed; "I seek God! I seek God!"
  • Many of those who did not believe in God were standing around just then therefore he provoked much laughter
  • The non-believers asked various questions about God such as if he has got lost, if he lost his way like a child or even gone on a trip
  • The madman jumped into the their midst and announced that God has been killed by them all
  • They drank the sea, wiped away the entire horizon and unchained the earth from its' sun
  • This earth is now moving, away from all suns with no up and down, only through an infinite nothing

  • The madman questions how the murderers can comfort them selves, if anyone is worthy of such a great deed and whether these murderers have become Gods themselves

Silence and Lanterns Breaking

  • The madman fell silent, taking a moment to gather his thoughts and observed the expressions of those gathered around him. His eyes darted from one face to another, searching for understanding or perhaps an inkling of revelation in the bewildered gaze of his audience.
  • The listeners remained silent, their faces marked by disbelief and astonishment. They stared at him in shock, grappling with the gravity of what they had just witnessed. The atmosphere was thick with tension, as they struggled to comprehend the implications of his words and actions.
  • In a moment of sheer desperation, the madman threw his lantern down with force, and as it hit the ground, the light extinguished completely, symbolizing the extinguishing of hope or clarity in their conversation. The darkness that followed echoed the turmoil and uncertainty that enveloped them.
  • The notion of the death of God loomed over them like a foreboding cloud—an event of tremendous significance that was imminent, yet still beyond their grasp. Its reverberations had yet to reach the ears of men, highlighting the idea that such existential transformations require time to unfold fully and for mankind to realize their implications.
