[ Post a Response | The Nietzsche Channel Message Board ]
Posted by Schwarzwald on 7/20/2007, 10:01 pm For some time I have been an avid reader of both Ayn Rand and Friedrich Nietzsche. However, my "avid" reading of Nietzsche has been limited to "Zarathustra" and "Beyond Good and Evil", and because of Nietzsche's less than literal style of philosophizing, my understanding of his work is not as deep as I should like it to be. For those who are familiar with both of these thinkers, would anyone care to summarize their differences in point of view? I'm especially interested in whether Nietzsche would have (speaking in terms of probability) considered Rand a master or slave moralist? Please, if you don't like Rand, don't tirade about how "she's not a real philosopher", or "she's juvenile". I came here because I have a great deal of respect for Nietzscheans in general, and should be dissapointed if I should find them engaged in the same criticisms of Ayn Rand as everyone else. Thanks in advance to those who respond to this message.
