Nietzsche Essays

Nicole Rosenthal Nietzsche-Rewrite 12/12/15 When reading Nietzsche, we can pick up from him that he was very educated and often picked apart philosophers opinions. Although he had a very poor outlook on his culture and everyday society, he had very strong opinions when it came to humans and their actions. He made strong assumptions whether people agreed with him or not. One of Nietzsche’s main goal during the Geology of Morals, is to show the difference between slave and master

Nietzsche and rand both have some interesting way of viewing life. Nietzsche believed that humans should live life as they want and there should be no rules on how to live. He also believes that truth is a perception, and it is something that could only be achieved by someone who neglects everything known to be significant. It is also similar to Ayn Rand’s idea. In my opinion, some of the essential idea in Nietzsche’s “beyond good and evil” is his search for the truth. He believed everyone had the

Austin Tierney Thompson 4970 05-06-2018 Nietzsche and The Birth of Tragedy To argue that Birth of Tragedy has a central claim; "theory is created at the expense of art", is to attempt to reduce its offerings to an oversimplification of a single thematic component. A central claim is the result of a complete and settled debate within defined parameters. This is true even if this settlement; subsequently, proves merely temporary. To be central is to exist at a single point between the outer parameters

Both Pascal and Nietzsche believe there are several endorsements one should take to to make our lives significance before our time comes to leave the universe. Pascal and Nietzsche may have some similarities passed on their philosophical publications, yet also differences. Nietzsche promotes that there is a universe, which it is unchanged after men live and eventually die out. With this being said Nietzsche contributes with that ideal and expounds the concept of “Truth “and “Lies”, while Pascal justifies

Friedrich Nietzsche and Mahatma Gandhi, two mammoth political figures of their time, attack the current trend of society. Their individual philosophies and concepts suggest a fundamental problem: if civilization is so diseased, can we overcome this state of society and the sickness that plagues the minds of the masses in order to advance? Gandhi and Nietzsche attain to answer the same proposition of sickness within civilization, and although the topic of unrest among both may be dissimilar, they

Nietzsche is primary criticism of morality is not one of morality itself but of how people people think of morality, and of the dominant morality of the time. He dislikes the idea of supplying a “rational foundation for morality,” (Nietzsche 80) because it assumes morality itself to be one fixed entity. Instead, he recommends the preparation of a typology of morals for different contexts, because the same actions can be more or less virtuous depending on one’s situation. Nietzsche, then, would call

Friedrich Nietzsche was a man built upon contradictions. So much in fact, that one could argue him to be both one of the most anti-democratic thinkers and one of the most democratic thinkers of our time. If one attempts to read Nietzsche’s works as a whole, you may undoubtedly be persuaded that he is one of the most anti democratic political theorists in the modern era because of his insistence upon the need of a hierarchical, aristocratic society and his anti-equality stance on the relationship

naturally-derived set of principles because humanity fails to comprehend the fundamental principles of its own existence. Nietzsche introduces the audience to how unaware humanity is to itself when he says, “We are necessarily strangers to ourselves, we do not comprehend ourselves... we are not ‘men of knowledge’ with respect to ourselves” (Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals, 15). Nietzsche rationalizes this unfamiliarity of the self by saying that humans have never sought out for themselves. The desire

Morality in Sports Nietzsche believed that the higher powers began their journey by using the mentality of barbarians, “men of prey still in possession of an unbroken strength of will and lust for power”. Taking this ideology, I want to implement it in a more modern and relatable twist; morality in 21st century sports. Its suffice to say that many generations have and will grow up with the mentality that winning is everything. A few notable mentions would be, former UFC Champion Jon Jones, Lance

Nietzsche, as his title of the book “Genealogy of Morality” shows, denies the abrupt beginning or origin of morality. Just like human beings, he believes that morality evolves through history. The world, especially the West, is largely based on the Christian norms and values, and philosophers, starting from Plato to Kant, strived to find morality beyond the reality. They created and perceived another world where God exists and placed morality on the same board. Morality is an edict comes from God
