first of all, what is “the ruling class”?
The agglutination of segments that contains “rule” and “priest” may give the answer.
The “ruling class” is the class dominant as signaled by Nietzsche in this.

In conclusion, Nietzsche believes that someone took possession of the event “Christ” to manipulate its consequences, to obtain Christian instinct to be similar to Jewish instinct and that this act means the negation of the Church. This Nietzsche opinion is in context with accusations in literature that Heretical sects took possession of Christianity, in its early times, to construct a belief system for humanity reformation founded on early Christians lifestyle and teachings.

    Nietzsche believed in the concept of infinity in more ways than just infinity’s existence. He seemed to suggest a living person’s life was not the only one lived by that person’s self; an individual’s life was the recurrence of his/her own self from a previous life ad infinitum. In this way, Nietzsche provided arguments against the prevalent Christian beliefs on the origin of the earth. One method he used, was utilizing ever evolving scientific theory as foundations and premises for his arguments against Christian teachings about the creation of the earth. Additionally, he used this method in an attempt to counter what he considered was the ultimate technique of slavery Christianity instilled upon mankind: its mortality.…

    I want to start off by saying that Friedrich Nietzsche was one of the more complicated philosophers that I ever had pleasure of studying. What I took away from Friedrich Nietzsche opinions on the death of God is that he was referring to the declining belief and respect for God or religion in general. Nietzsche felt that with the loss of religion the west would lose its distinctive cultural identity. Friedrich Nietzsche was not a big fan of Christianity to say the least, but he still understood its importance and its benefits to the culture. Friedrich Nietzsche, in my humble opinion had a strange outlook on morality.…

    Nietzsche was a very critical philosopher in his time. He believed that normative systems in other words, what we believe as morals are derived similarly with varied meanings and values over time. Morals and practices are often associated with cultures. They claim that morals are entirely different in cultures and are not universal in human society. He basically viewed how judgements on cultured morals are relativist claims of others than themselves (Chapter 31, page…

    He states “History shows that the consciousness of being in debt to the deity did not by any means come to an end together with the organization of communities on the basis of blood relationship. Even as mankind inherited the concepts ‘good and bad’ from the tribal nobility, it also inherited, along with the tribal and family divinities” (Nietzsche, 90). This also relates to the will to power. Hypothetically speaking these people who a debt can only take so much punishment from the person of credit before them rise up as a whole to end their suffering at the hand of the creditor. Friedrich Nietzsche’s…

    “From where in the human head did logic arise? Certainly from the illogical, whose domain must originally have been tremendous.” (Guignon/Pereboom, pp. 136). In the first sentences of Nietzsche’s aphorism “source of the logical” Nietzsche establishes his original style of writing as he introduces the topic of discussion. The commencement has a sort of elegance to it mainly due to the contradictory connotations implied. Nietzsche’s unique way of writing leaves plenty of room for personal interpretations and, as a result, a few key concepts arise. Is Nietzsche referencing an evolutionary perspective? Stating that the logical part of the brain developed through natural selection out of a large illogical part.…

    Martin Luther was an influential scholar in the 16th century who changed the face of the Catholic church by sparking the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. To the Christian Nobility of the German Nation is one of the first works written by Luther in 1520. The text gives the reader an insight into the life of Luther, while he exhorts and rebukes the authority and ideals of the Roman Catholic Church. Within the text, Luther challenges the three main ideals of the Church and insinuates an ecclesiastical movement. Furthermore, I agree with Luther’s approach to completely disband all the metaphorical walls that the Romanists have developed in the attempt to revolutionize Church and State.…

    Kafka’s story "In the Penal Colony" - as a symbolic historical meditation on the origins of punishment, can be demonstrated by comparing certain aspects of this story to Nietzsche’s essay "On the Genealogy of Morals" - which offers a historical account of the origins of punishment and justice. Nietzsche’s essay discusses how humans transform from pre-civilized, e.g., humans in their primal state with little regard for social-obligations; to civilized, e.g., those who comply and conform to the laws of a civilized society, and how this transformation relates to punishment. Nietzsche hypothesizes, that although history shows a transformation from pre-civilized into “the kind of human being that civilization produces” (BCIT, 2000), that punishments,…

    Christianity and Judaism while they are two different religions also have some very similar concepts. They both believe in the same God, they believe that there is only one God, they both believe in and study the Old Testament, as well as other common themes in both religions. Some of these similarities are due to the fact that “Christianity began as a sect of Judaism in the first century C.E.”(Hopfe, pg. 203). But Christianity and Judaism have some vast differences as well. Throughout this paper I will be discussing the differences between Christianity and Judaism, as well as some of the similarities that they share.…

    The Führer, on the other hand, had a more nebulous relationship with Nietzsche’s writings. While Hitler appropriated Nietzsche’s ideas into his ideology, he never actually read his works personally. There were, however, stories and rumors spread throughout Germany regarding the two. Viennese actress Rosa Albach-Petty, for example, reportedly heard a story from a friend of a young workman named Adolf Hitler who asked to borrow Thus Spoke Zarathustra and another book by Nietzsche, saying, “‘almost solemnly,’” “‘I promise you ma’am, that I will cherish the books like life itself.’”…

    This essay will show how identities are fluid from the view of Nietzsche and Bauman. However, both believe in the fluidity of identity for very different reasons, which I believe is due to their contrasting time of writing. The issue of identity has been a prominent matter within philosophy since Plato and is more relevant than ever today with the rise of social media and current changing views that are moving towards populism and anti-establishment. My hypothesis is that Bauman is correct in his view of identity as he provides a very accurate account of how things are in the twenty-first century, based on factual social evidence. On the other hand, Nietzsche’s view can no longer be relevant today from his inconsistency and reliance on myth,…

    John Stuart Mill and Friedrich Nietzsche both analyzed the outlooks fostered by the ancients, Christianity and modern morality in regard to the qualities of character that each group developed. The two men held similar views regarding the Christians and modern morality believing that each was creating a herd like mentality where individualism was being suppressed. The two interestingly differed on their view of the ancients, where Nietzsche disagreed with their rationality, Mill praised their individualism. For starters, Nietzsche viewed the character that each society developed in the context of whether or not they fostered the will to power. Will to power for Nietzsche was the driving force of man, and he believed that any hindrance or alteration…

    “Friedrich Nietzsche on Master and Slave Morality,” an explication by Dr. John Armstrong, explains Friedrich Nietzsche's view on morality that argues Slave Morality is created to restrict “superior” people. To achieve such a claim, Armstrong compares and explains Master Morality and Slave Morality, and he further reveals the flaws of Slave Morality, “[the] artificial boundaries that constrain the strong from reaching their full potential” (5). Opening his analysis, Armstrong chronicles the history of Master and Slave Morality and informs the readers about Friedrich Nietzsche and his motivation for exploring the difference between these moralities. Armstrong reveals that Nietzsche, a philologist, values Master Morality over Slave Morality since it leads to the “peak of Western civilization” (1). Yet, many religions value Slave Morality instead.…
