Based on one of Friedrich Nietzsche's most distinguished philosophy books ever written during the 18th century, he develops a new philosophical ideal. In the book "Beyond Good and Evil," Nietzsche inquires a philosophy of the future for "free spirits". Nietzsche describes the distinct species of a philosopher, the "free spirits" and contrasts dogmatism with the true free spirits. Through all of this, Conard argued that Bart Simpson was not Nietzsche's ideal while, on the contrary, Felder argues that Carrie Bradshaw embodies the ideals of Nietzsche's new brand of a philosopher.
Conard argues that Bart Simpson does not resemble Nietzsche's ideal of the new brand of philosopher because Bart is the complete opposite of what Nietzsche envisioned. …show more content…
Despite his behavior, his actions and speech frequently show considerable mental agility, street-smarts, and understanding. When Bart became a hall monitor for Springfield Elementary, his grades went up, showing that he only struggles because he does not pay any attention.
Furthermore, Bart often seems to have trouble understanding even the simplest concepts, such as the word "irony," what the equator is and that the logo on his globe ("Rand McNally") is not actually a country. He is labeled as an underachiever by authority figures due to his grades running the Loop from F to D and back again.
Moreover, Conard says that Bart does not resemble Nietzsche's ideal because his ideal philosopher is someone who does not prefer a certain point of view. Bart does not care about anyone else other than himself and only does things for his own interest. Nietzsche's philosopher does the complete opposite. He does not do things for his own interest but rather does them for the greater good. Referring back to philosophers, they do not want to believe something that will go against their own beliefs because that will prove to them that their whole life's and beliefs were a lie. Nietzsche believes that philosophers should not pose as guardians of truth or wisdom. The truths of philosophers are just their prejudices, and no philosopher has even been proved correct. Philosophers are at their healthiest when they are questioning themselves and cleansing their spirits from their biases. In the end, finding out that your whole life was built upon lies is a humans' biggest
