Who is the ugliest man?

Question

Was this a saying by Neitze? What did he mean, when he referred to the ugliest man?

I meant nietzsche! You could not endure him who beheld you,- who ever beheld you through and through, you ugliest man. You took revenge on this witness!"

What does this mean?

Answer 1

Nietszche was a good author and a sensitive man who probably have been more comfortable had he lived in our era instead of his own.

He is often misquoted and his work has some notable quotes that we can relate to in the present times, so maybe he was not too crazy after all.

Nothing is beautiful, only man: on this piece of naivete rests all aesthetics, it is the first truth of aesthetics. Let us immediately add its second: nothing is ugly but degenerate man - the domain of aesthetic judgment is therewith defined.
Friedrich Nietzsche
----------------------------------------------------
Nietzsche wrote in a very fiery and exciting way. He was a good writer. However, what he wrote later in his life became more and more odd. When he was forty years old, Nietzsche went insane. Supposedly, one day in the city of Turin, Italy, he saw a horse being whipped by its owner and ran to save it, hugging it around the throat. After this, Nietzsche never wrote again and could not look after himself.

There are steps you can take to actually build a strong, stable marriage and avoid divorce. Read here https://tr.im/23trW

Here are some key steps to apply to your marriage:

- Start by understanding and being informed.

You can never be too informed about tools, methods and studies about building successful marriages. Understand the risk factors like your age and maturity at marriage can determine how successful it will be, the anatomy of an affair and what you can do after infidelity. Understand the success factors like the personal and psychological circumstances that will influence your marriage, what are the tools and approaches available to you in dealing with conflict, and numerous other relevant data. All this information is readily available to you whether through self-help material, through a counselor, support group or other venues. In fact, we have made it our commitment to provide these to you in different formats to help you make the best marriage you can.

The thing is, remember, this is information is not available for you to begin hyper-psychoanalyzing your relationship, yourself and your partner. It's not a matter of spewing trivia for the sake of conversation ' information is there for you to ponder over and internalize to help you transform yourself and your marriage. That includes maturing to such a point that you become more competent in your knowledge but more prudent in approach.

Answer 3

I happen to be in the middle of an essay that deals with the Ugliest Man:

"Appropriately Nietzsche places the Ugliest Man, the murderer of god, in the land of death, a realm of terrifying ugliness and desolation. The murderer of god is left with nothing but random, essentially unconnected experiences. At first he makes only inarticulate, unintelligible noises. Only around a god, a common principle of unification, does everything become a coherent community, a world, and not a chaos of meaningless, atomized impressions. The Ugliest Man, the nihilist, has no self and no world to be shared with other selves. Genuine dialogue or communication requires a world and without a god, only chaos and nothingness exist but no world: "The desolation grows: Woe to him who harbors desolation!" In the words of the traditional marriage union, the Ugliest Man has rent asunder what the now murdered god has joined together.
The nihilist's deep need for privacy, his isolation from any divine or human community, is not so much the result as the cause of what Nietzsche calls his murder of god. That murder, a poetic image of radical atheism, is sparked by the nihilist realization that nothing exists but chaotic, empty experiences. This realization is responsible for the concept of ultimate reality which Nietzsche inherited from Schopenhauer and which he unsuccessfully strove to modify or to abandon.
Like Nietzsche, the Ugliest Man still was too bound by common sense -- that is by moral or political needs -- to be able to leave it at unintelligible, wholly private noises. The impossible effort to combine nihilism with those needs is responsible for the Ugliest Man's shame at his atheism's abysmal amorality. The strength of those needs prevents his being truly nihilistic, that is, prevents his perceiving that nothing is ugly or beatiful, noble or shameful, moral or immoral, if god is dead. What Nietzsche calls shadows of the dead god still rule the Ugliest Man's soul, precluding uncompromising atheistic eradication of the need for god, for any morality or community.
Those shadows compel the Ugliest Man, that half-hearted nihilist, to initiate worship of a jackass for those preferring "to worship god in this form rather than not pray at all." Not to have a god, even if it be only a jackass or a stone -- not to pray -- means to be left with the empty privacy of one's experiences, without a self or a world. The Ugliest Man fears this privacy, the isolation of radical atheism."
[Harry Neumann, Liberalism, page 153-154.]

Answer 4

Hmm .. I don't know who Neitze is .. but the ugliest man would have to be the one who, in any way, abuses his woman.

Answer 5

All of us , at some time or the other, I suppose.

Uglyness does not , necessarily , refer to the physical features of a person, evn though in the normal useage we refer to a person as ugly by one`s looks.. But , the real useage of the term is reserved only for persons who are mentally and by their character "ugly" . The ugly politician , the gly businessman...... and so on .

But , many times , we, too, are caughtin this whirlpool. many times we do things that we donot like to do and behave badly , only to regret later.

I have , personally , experienced this feeling infront of my mirror after a particularly bad behaviour , unbecoming of me.

Answer 6

i agree with tigger, the eyes are the windows to the soul!
i am a guy and the most beautiful things in a woman are the eyes, and lips....... not so much in themselves, but the way they are held to the face.
i like women who are confident, self-assured and at peace with themselves..... which seems to be a rare thing!
i can see beneath the make up and perfume- any woman can decorate herself, but i go for the more natural look.

Answer 7

I'm not a Neitze nerd- I personally think a lot of his thoughts...well doesn't matter about my thoughts on his thoughts.

When someone is being repulsive they are "ugly". Hitler, you could say, was an ugly ugly man.

Answer 8

His name is David Glanding Packard. He is an abusive sadistic maniac who should be put to sleep for hurting children. Including myself and my brother.
