beyond good and evil notes--- translated

so i made the mistake of trying to read "the genealogy of ethics", which i was planning to read before spinoza's "ethics", before "beyond good and evil". but now that is being corrected, and i am reading that now. it is a greek translation by Ζήσης Σαρίκας - Zisis Sarikas (accent marks are possibly wrong- uncommon surname and the book has his name in all caps so sue me whatever).

here some of my notes thus far, translated from my greek notebook writing:

up to part 1.4 -

it has come time, he says, that we don't just suppose truth, the good, etc., but the opposites as well! and not only the opposites, but the in-betweens as well, to question the even the "dangerous maybe"! for us to think a type of niaiserie, aka foolishness!

a presupposition: man is not the meter/scale of things.

up to 1.8 -

two-faced are philosophers, in the end. and Kant, and Plato. maybe even Nitse himself? Epicurus, a quiet philosopher, a more unknown one, claimed Plato and his followers as "διονυσοκόλαξ" - dionysokolax [that means the absolute followers of Dionysus]; that is to say "actors"- firstly because he believed they were not indeed knowledgeable, but also because they had a persona- they were out in public and loud types.

adventavit asinus

plucher et fortissimus

"οn went the donkey

beautiful and brave"

1.8 & 1.9 -

read over and over again- it is chef's kiss literarture!

that's it thus far- the everyday duties call. goodbye.
