The translation is from Project Gutenberg, and I've made a few corrections to it already because it isn't Sun, 24 Jun 2012 20:25:09 GMT sauwelios http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/532 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/532 As a Lampertian Nietzschean, and at some level perhaps even rather a Straussian Nietzschean, I know something of Nietzsche's esotericism. Still, I'm impressed Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:45:05 GMT sauwelios http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/531 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/531 I will try to explain my insight by the hand of the high point, the thirty-fifth paragraph, of one of Leo Strauss's last writings, his "Note on the Plan of Wed, 14 Dec 2011 02:35:57 GMT sauwelios http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/529 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/529 Dear Members, I've created a new group about Nietzsche's Übermensch: https://www.facebook.com/groups/336960912985736/ Fri, 28 Oct 2011 20:02:56 GMT osvit000 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/528 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/528 Sauwelios complained about his failed rule as the master of the nietzsche-pyramid. He probably thought that a belief in hierarchy is sufficient to attract Sat, 27 Aug 2011 01:30:55 GMT sauwelios http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/527 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/527 Dear Ian, I think I can counter your objection to syllogism 6 very easily. You say: "Nothing about being enclosed by something unthinkable implies that the Fri, 26 Aug 2011 22:55:51 GMT Ian http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/526 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/526 Um, hi. It's been quite a while since the last post of this discussion. I have no excuse; I just completely forgot about it. That, of course, isn't Tue, 05 Oct 2010 11:32:08 GMT sauwelios http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/525 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/525 ... And by saying that a concept is a thing, I did not mean to imply that it had 'substance'. So it's not a metaphysical, but a definitional argument. I define Mon, 04 Oct 2010 22:26:06 GMT Ian http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/524 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/524 "Well, for one thing, I'd say a concept *is* a thing. I don't mean that all things can be formed or had in the mind." Well, we can dispute that.

I would indeed not mind Mon, 04 Oct 2010 05:19:11 GMT Ian http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/522 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/522 Thank you for taking the time to write those syllogisms. Some problems with it are: 1 (a): "To think is to form or have in the mind" I agree with this Mon, 04 Oct 2010 01:46:14 GMT sauwelios http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/521 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/521 ... I did some reading on it. That didn't help to ground your assertions. ... Of course. ... Below are syllogisms. In each case, "a" is the first premise, "b" Sun, 03 Oct 2010 23:30:09 GMT Ian http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/520 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/human_superhuman/message/520 "Well, as you have not grounded any of your assertions, there is nothing for me to go into."
