I will focus the discussion on two central philosophies of Buddhism, which Nietzsche misinterpreted: Nirvana and suffering. It will be shown through an examination of selected writings and key philosophies of Nietzsche that if he had a better understanding of Nirvana and suffering then he would have been significantly more favorable towards Buddhism and would have found it to have close similarities to his own beliefs.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Stance: an international undergraduate philosophy journal}, author={Lincourt, Jared}, year={2019}, month={Sep.}, pages={62–68} }
