니체의 조언: 추종자가 아닌 탐구자가 되라

### 니체의 믿음에 대한 탐구 철학
* 🧠 현자 자라투스트라는 『자라투스트라는 이렇게 말했다』에서 추종자들에게 **자신을 부끄러워하고, 자신을 버리고, 자신의 가르침을 의심하라**고 조언합니다. 그는 추종자들이 자신을 맹목적으로 믿지 말고 **스스로 진실을 묻고 검증하기**를 원합니다.
* 🌱 작가가 공유한 이야기 속 한 농부도 비슷한 메시지를 전합니다. 그는 진리를 찾는 젊은 학생에게 **자신만의 지도를 만들지 않고 농부의 현실 지도를 따라가면서 탐구자에서 신자로 변해버린 학생에게 떠나라고 말합니다.**
* 🗺 니체에 따르면, 영혼의 평화와 쾌락을 위해 노력하고자 한다면 **믿어야 하지만 진리의 신봉자가 되고자 한다면 물어야 한다**고 합니다.
* 👥 자라투스트라는 추종자들이 탐구자가 되어 현실과의 직접적인 연결을 유지하고, **자신만의 진리 지도를 만들어 궁극적으로 함께 세상을 여행할 수 있는 평등하고 친구 같은 존재**가 될 수 있도록 독려합니다.
* ❌ 반면, 단순히 스승의 말만 믿는 추종자들은 **현실과의 직접적인 연결과 고유한 관점의 가치를 잃게** 됩니다.
* 🔍 탐구자는 **현실과의 연결**을 유지함으로써 세상을 바라보는 독립적인 관점을 통해 실질적인 가치를 창출합니다.

니체의 『자라투스트라』는 추종자들에게 믿지 말고 의심하고 질문하여 현실을 직시하고 평등해질 것을 촉구합니다.

In Thus Spoke Zarathustra, in the chapter called The Bestowing Virtue, Friedrich Nietzsche wrote something surprising. Zarathustra—a sage who is also the central character of the book—tells his followers to stop following him. He says, “I now go alone, my disciples! You too go now, alone! Thus I want it. I advise you: depart from me, and guard yourselves against Zarathustra! And better still: be ashamed of him! Perhaps he has deceived you.” This is one of my favourite parts of the book. I found it surprising, but interesting, that the sage would tell his followers to be ashamed of him, abandon him, and mistrust him. Why would he do that? As usual, I’m gonna explore this idea through a dialogue. --- A young student (S) spent years searching for enlightenment. He travelled across many countries and lived among various groups of ascetics, but after

searching for years, he found his quest to be fruitless. Finally, he gave up and decided to work on a farm. The farmer (F) he worked with was a simple man. He didn’t talk much, but when he did, he enjoyed a good philosophical debate with the student. At first, the student was open to debate, doubting much of what the farmer said, thinking he was similar to the other ascetics the student had met in the past. But after some time, the young student sensed an immense wisdom and tranquility inside the farmer. He started to agree with the farmer more and more. The student's desire for enlightenment had returned, and so the student worked with the farmer for months, absorbing his knowledge. Eventually, the farmer noticed that the student had stopped debating with him, and the following conversation ensued. F: I think it’s time for you to leave me. S: Leave?

Why? F: Listen, when you first arrived here, we had many things to teach one another. We grew together and learned from each other. Your mind was inquisitive. But recently, you’ve begun to believe everything I say. You’ve gone from an inquirer to a believer, and I won’t let you do that to yourself or to me. We’re both better off if you leave. S: But I came seeking the truth, and I found it in you. F: The truth! You’re lost, kid. S: Why would you send me away like this? How can you do that to me? F: Let me show you something. Take a look at this map. What do you see? S: I see our farm, the river nearby, and the mountains. F: No, you see an image of our farm, the river nearby, and the mountains—not the things themselves. Now tell me, what can you learn from this map?

S: I can learn where the farm and the river
are, the height of the mountain, where the berry trees are, where we plant our carrots… F: No, you can’t. Give it a few millennia. The river will dry up, the mountains will
move, and this farm may be a city. You can’t learn anything about the farm
as it is. You can only see an image of it as it was at some point in time. See, a man’s memory is like this map. It can capture a shadow of reality, and he
can share that with you, but he can never give you the reality itself. A man can give you his memories of the truth,
but he can never give you the truth itself. He can tell you where the farm was, but you’d
still have to verify it for yourself. If you want the truth, as you say, there can
be no intermediaries, no middlemen. If there’s a middleman, then he is the one
you are following, not the truth.

S: But what’s wrong with following you? F: If you follow me, you’ll live according
to my memories. You’ll live according to my map, and you’ll
never learn to construct your own. What if my map is wrong? Then you’ll be lost with me, and you won’t
be able to correct me because you never learned to navigate on your own. And if you can’t correct me, then we’re
no longer able to help each other. But if you learn to see for yourself, if you
learn to construct your own map of reality, then we can come together as friends and individuals. We can compare our maps and help one another
see reality as it really is. And when we both see reality as it is, we
can journey through it together, as equals. S: I guess you’re right. I’ll start packing my things. --- In a letter to his sister, Nietzsche wrote,
“if you wish to strive for peace of soul

and pleasure, then believe; if you wish to
be a devotee of truth, then inquire.” And in my opinion, Zarathustra tells his followers
to leave him because they are still believers. He wants them to become inquirers. He doesn’t want followers. He doesn’t want people to believe what he
says. He wants them to doubt him, inquire, verify
what he says for themselves, and see if they arrive at the same vision of reality. And if they arrive at the same vision of reality,
then they can be travellers in this world together. They can be equals. But if they simply believe what he says, then
they become followers. Followers learn to follow someone else’s
map, and by doing so, they lose a direct connection to reality. And if they lose a direct connection to reality,
we all lose the value that comes from their own unique perspective. We lose the value of independent verification
and the possibility of someone correcting

us. But inquirers, on the other hand, make their
own maps and maintain their connection to reality. And because of this, they bring us actual
value through their unique perspective of the world. But at the end of the day, this is just my
opinion and understanding of Nietzsche’s words, not advice. Feel free to use this information however
you like, and if you have a different take on Nietzsche’s words, I’d love to hear
your perspective in the comments.

차라투스트라는 이렇게 말했다에 나오는 미덕을 수여합니다.

자라투스트라는 추종자들에게 자신을 부끄러워하고 떠나라고 촉구하며 이별의 의지와 자기 성찰을 보여줌으로써 추종자들을 놀라게 합니다.

어린 학생과 농부의 대화는 처음에는 농부를 의심하던 학생이 결국 침묵 속에서 농부의 지혜를 받아들이는 변화된 관점을 보여줍니다.

이 책의 구절과 대화는 깨달음을 추구하는 독립성과 끊임없이 변화하는 영향력과 지도의 본질이라는 주제를 강조합니다.

화자가 상대방을 밀어내는 이유는 상대방이 호기심에서 의문을 갖지 않는 태도로 바뀌었기 때문입니다.

화자는 진정한 지식은 다른 사람의 기억이나 경험에 의존하는 것이 아니라 직접적인 경험을 통해서만 얻을 수 있다고 믿습니다.

화자는 누군가를 중개자로 따라가는 것은 실제 진실을 스스로 발견하는 것을 방해한다고 주장합니다.

나만의 현실을 구축하는 것의 중요성

다른 사람의 지도를 따라가는 것은 자신만의 현실을 구축하는 것을 방해하고 개인의 성장을 저해합니다.

니체의 철학은 현실을 독립적으로 바라보고 세상에 고유한 관점을 기여하기 위해서는 단순한 신자가 아니라 진리를 탐구하는 사람이 되어야 한다고 강조합니다.

이러한 접근 방식을 통해 개인은 각자가 구축한 현실 지도를 바탕으로 동등한 존재로서 함께 여행할 수 있습니다.

현실을 이해하는 데 있어 탐구자의 관점이 갖는 가치

탐구자는 자신의 관점을 통해 자신만의 현실 지도를 만들어 고유한 가치를 창출합니다.

니체의 말에 대한 이러한 해석은 주관적이며 개인의 이해에 따라 달라질 수 있습니다.

니체의 말에 대한 다양한 관점의 토론과 해석을 환영합니다.
