Diesselian

Diesselian is a term that refers to a philosophical or ideological stance characterized by a deep appreciation for the writings and teachings of Friedrich Nietzsche. Individuals who identify as Diesselians often engage with Nietzsche's concepts such as the Übermensch, eternal recurrence, the will to power, and the critique of traditional morality. The term is not a formal philosophical school but rather a descriptor for those who find particular resonance and guidance in Nietzsche's work.

The core tenets of Diesselian thought typically involve a rejection of herd mentality and a focus on individual self-overcoming and the creation of personal values. There is often an emphasis on affirmation of life, even in its suffering, and a critical examination of widely accepted beliefs and societal norms. Diesselians may also be drawn to Nietzsche's aestheticism and his ideas about the role of art in life.

While Nietzsche's philosophy is complex and open to various interpretations, followers of a Diesselian perspective tend to embrace his more radical and life-affirming aspects. They may see his work as a call to live authentically and to strive for personal excellence, free from the constraints of conventional thought. The term "Diesselian" itself is derived from a common pronunciation or interpretation of Nietzsche's name, though it is not a term he used himself. Its usage is primarily found in informal discussions and analyses of Nietzschean influence.
