Beyond Good and Evil

his works that can appear to back this claim, however, it was never Nietzsche’s argument nor his ambition to create what history unfolded in the Holocaust. But when you have passages presented such as the opening aphorism (257) in part 9 of Beyond Good and Evil, the lines blurry. What is presented to the reader in aphorism 257 of part 9 is an argument that all of civilization including the various enhancements to life are a byproduct of hierarchical society, where there are the strong and then…

no worth or value” and also: “the belief that a society's political and social institutions are so bad that they should be destroyed”. This idea is one of the leading arguments as to why Nietzsche chose to physically write about books like “Beyond Good and Evil”, and “Genealogy of Morals”. Through some of these reading one may be able to evaluate some of the most intriguing ideas in society. There are terms such as “ressentiment” and this idea that there must be a “revaluation of morals”. One…

What is right? What is wrong? Can the two even exist or are they just figments of some sort of lesser mentality? These are just a few of the many questions in the world that can not simply be answered by a single sentence as there are too many factors in context. Thus, we, as humans, are forced to reflect on the topic with our own philosophical ideas in hopes that we can piece our ideas with the ideas of others in order to solve this massive jigsaw puzzle dubbed “Life” In every person there is…

So we see that from the very beginning Nietzsche frames the Genealogy of Morals in the light of his worries concerning the self-awareness of those supposed to be the “learned ones”. In this, genealogy’s positive aspect emerges, as we can appreciate how Nietzsche’s work is driven by the desire of presenting these men of knowledge with their lack of self-awareness, as well as with the tool to overcome it. In this respect, my understanding is that the “beehives of our knowledge” are an image and…

People are instructed from a young age to hold regard for those individuals whom live selflessly to bring about a sense of progress towards the greater good of the society that they inhabit.

While Nietzsche is talking about monsters, I for one find that this reflective action can provide insights both meaningful and practical. The most accessible source of information to anyone is oneself; Thus I propose that…

In 1886, Friedrich Nietzsche published his book Beyond Good and Evil in Germany, a work in which he implies his criticism of dogmatism while simultaneously emphasizing the need for one to adopt his own moral code. I believe he published his book not only for past philosophers, but for the middle class as well. He states, “the gregarious European man nowadays assumes an air as if he were the only kind of man allowable” (Nietzsche, 121). With this statement, I believe Nietzsche targets past…

worlds, Golding and Nietzsche had similar ideas on controversial ideas. While both Golding and Nietzsche had opinions on the same subject, they did not always have the same point of view. While Golding had the view of typical Judeo-Christianity, where evil is bad, Nietzsche embraced the natural savage impulses in everyone. Throughout The Lord of the Flies and Nietzsche’s many philosophies, William Golding and Friedrich Nietzsche…
