The organization and structure of a society have sometimes been key historical reasons for change in many different countries, empires or regimes. If a society was organized in a way that favored a particular race, religion, or political group then the seeds for revolution have already been sown. But given the works of Rousseau, Marx and Colbert it seems that society has been organized in a completely imbalanced manner. Using Discourses on Inequality, Communist Manifesto, and Colbert’s segments…

A large majority of American people believe that the current social and economic order of liberal-capitalism is the best option for this country. Karl Marx and the Romantic poets are all opposed to this type of society. As outlined in this essay, these figures, respectively, in The Communist Manifesto and English Romantic Poetry an Anthology, explain their critiques of liberal-capitalism and then proceed to contrast those ideas of a perfect society with their own. I believe that Marx and the…

were stirring in European society. These problems mostly involved the rankings in society between the middle class and the poor workers. These problems extended to the Netherlands on how the rich looked down at the poor. The ideas of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the authors of the Communist Manifesto, were exceptionally different from the ideas of Abraham Kuyper as seen in their religion or absence thereof, the audience to which they were speaking, as well as the time and setting in which…

During the reading of Friedrich Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil, I was often shocked by how misogynistic Nietzsche appeared. His declarations and defamations of women caused a great amount of discomfort while reading as I am a strong feminist and Nietzsche was apparently my nemesis. Throughout Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche offers several witty aphorisms pertaining to women such as “compare man and woman on the whole, one may say: woman would not have the genius for finery if she did not have…

In Bangkok, Thailand, I faced several prejudices mostly because I was poor. Back in my country, the families had to pay for their children’s education. So those that born into the families of doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, politician, and other high paying occupation get to go to the “fancy” school. Growing up in a family of single mom who sell insurance and second hand clothing for a living did not help me much in school. No money mean no future in Thailand. One cannot be successful in life…

found great success in his endeavors, inspiring many other artists and solidifying himself as one of the most prominent artists of all time, he did not know that things would turn out this way. In this paper I will be drawing on John Stuart Mill and Friedrich Nietzsche’s differing opinions on moral theory as well as my own interpretation of the event. John Stuart Mill, commonly considered to be one of the great British philosophers of the nineteenth century, was a driving force in the moral…

Both Jean Paul-Sartre and Friedrich Nietzsche are considered as existentialists whose philosophies share some important characteristics. Although Sartre illustrates how to make a truly moral decision, and Nietzsche presents how to become a true individual, they both make an attempt to replace traditional morality with their belief of authenticity. “You’re free, choose, that is, invent” said Sartre, showing his idea on how he thinks we should make decisions. In this essay, I will compare the…

The disputation of March 11, focused on the philosophical work of Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche. Nietzsche was a German philosopher who lived from 1844-1900.

This theory was first published during Nietzsche’s early philosophical career. His second theory was that on good and evil. This was published in his work titled On the Genealogy of Morality, First Essay. This…
