"I have been thinking of reading Nietzsche especially because a philosopher poet from India has often been linked to him. I wanted to know how the ideas of Nietsche could have influenced this very much orthodox Muslim from South Asia. So far I have found nothing of the sort that would indicate a positive influence, I feel more like Iqbal's mind may have had a narcissistic (not individual but community narcissism) reflection on encountering Existentialist thought.
Geneology of Morals: As an evolutionary biology student, I find it interesting that Nietzsche is influenced or has a notion of evolution. Although it has been interpreted as Lamarckian I read it as a better interpretations than many non-biologists of even the 20th century. What he is talking about is a cultivational and cultural influence, which can very well be true in a sense. If we forgive him for not being accurate to the essence of Dawinian idea, he is not entirely wrong. His book seemed to me like a natural followup of the theory of evolution. I enjoyed it like all the other Nietsche books I have read."
