Hi, > consciousness, bearing burdensome memories of repugnant actions, What about consciousness only bearing memories of wonderful actions? Mine dwells on bad actions. (Jewish guilt perhaps.) > either surrender the possibility of free will (fatalism) Denying free will does not imply fatalism! But determinism does, no? The whole of Nietzsche's philosophy is a monument dedicated to gainsay that error. Yet most of his personal life seems to affirm it. I agree with Bruno that "the will" is real, but speaking of "free" should be avoided, it is incoherent. It suggest a separateness, an ontological doubling, which does not make sense. Ask yourself: free of what? You will not find a good answer... I stand corrected. Thanks for the hint.
