Why read it?
1 author picked Human, All Too Human as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Nietzsche demystifies the idea that the state in capitalism provides stability and certainty in our lives and, as a result, the concept that it is necessary.
He has a dialectic between phenomenon and essence, for which the state is the social form that corresponds to the alienation we experience in our everyday life in capitalism.
Thus, as a corresponding social form to the mass culture, it reiterates our unfreedom. Nietzsche holds a concept of fetishization that brings him much closer to critical Marxism than previously thought.
From Vasilis' list on a critical theory of social illusion and democracy.
