This is a reading of an essay I wrote in 2021, originally posted on Medium, itself an adaptation of a contribution to the r/nietzsche wiki page. It was also the 6th episode of The Nietzsche Podcast. It has never before been uploaded to Youtube, and I decided to make it a video with visual elements. In retrospect, there are some rough edges to this episode, and some things I might have done differently. Nevertheless, I think it remains a solid effort in conveying the full nuances of how Nietzsche regarded Socrates. It was not hatred, nor unqualified admiration. Nietzsche criticized Socrates, and saw him as a sign of society’s decline, and yet he also sees himself in the image of Socrates.
