Are you still just telling people to go read Nietzsche to see what he had to say about male courage and daring rather than just telling us what you think he was saying?
IMHO both Tolstoy and Nietzsche both had a good analysis ( if such an understanding is possible) of “male courage”. Tolstoy is much more entertaining, nuanced and a pleasurable read. Nietzsche is far more difficult. Tolstoy would argue that courage ( the willingness to personally sacrifice for others or a cause) is a trait that emanates from God’s creation. Nietzsche argued that courage as well as cowardness results because each behavior is gratifying at the time to the individual. Bottom line is that very few of us have been in a position to see just how we as individuals would behave in such a situation. That is why men have always admired and honored other men who behaved honorably in combat or confrontation.
