Re: Nietzche was a structuralist or existensialist?
It seems Nietzsche wanted to come to terms with our [human] place in the world. Realize what we are, how we might have gotten here, and, above all, what we can do now that we're here. So a lot of his philosophy is insight into the nature of man and his various institutions and governments, where he tears down existing values and urges readers to construct their own values based on reason. At bottom, his entire discourse is like trying to find some kind of structure for ourselves within all this chaos.
So when you say [ QUOTE ]
existensialism claims that people are them selfs and able to choose their own direction.
[/ QUOTE ] this means, to me, creating your own structure of sorts. It's hard.
