Friedrich Nietzsche

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” This quote was written by George Orwell in his book Animal Farm, one of Orwell’s most famous novels. Throughout history the subject of a distant dystopia has always been explored in many works of literature. The possibility of humanity falling into a bleak and totalitarian society has always fascinated readers. These stories and themes can come to define an author and their legacy as a writer. There is no greater example of…

ANNIHILATION OF CASTE THE UNDELIVERED SPEECH OF Dr. AMBEDKAR “Annihilation of Caste is B.R. Ambedkar’s most radical text. It is not an argument directed at Hindu fundamentalists or extremists, but at those who considered themselves moderate, those whom Ambedkar called “the best of Hindus”— and some academics call “left-wing Hindus”. Ambedkar’s point is that to believe in the Hindu Shastra’s and to simultaneously think of oneself as liberal or moderate is a contradiction in terms. When…

The relationship between owning something and the development of a person’s character has been long disputed. It is a proven fact that what is owned by a person in their childhood, directly affects their character as a person. We live in a world where a person’s social status is almost defined by how much that person owns. The value of a person is basically measured by the value of all their tangible goods. Many philosophers and transcendentalists have discussed this topic in their writings.…

After some colloquial commentary on the demystification of religion, as discussed through its thorough analysis in “The Future of Illusions,” Freud guides the reader toward the preliminary investigative question of the text viz., is civilization a harm or a benefit to humanity? Throughout the inquiry, the reader is challenged with some appalling characteristics of humanity that materialize as self-evident. The Freudian methodology elicits these commonly held aspects of reality into a focused…

Genealogy of Morals by Nietzsche is a compilation of critiques to which he questions moral judgements and its genealogical origin. In Nietzsche’s first essay, he refers to two different types of morality. The first being master morality and the second being slave morality. Firstly, the master morality is created by the master or the one who is obstinate. Masters were to free to think and do what they want, whereas, slaves were subordinate and follow the master. To Nietzsche, being a master is…

life-asserting. The “evil” is equal with what the noble calls it “good”. The weak is oppressed by the noble, but the noble still called that is “good”. They came themselves as good when they came to see the contrast between them and the weak. In first essay, Nietzsche introduces one of his best image, blonde breast. This mean to hold breast of prey is a mistake because this action is from their inherent strength, rather than any evil purpose.…

Nietzsche is a German philosopher who prefers writing in aphorisms (rather than essays) and uses irony, sarcasm, and poetry to express his ideas. The main thing that he always talks about is the fact believed by him, that GOD IS DEAD. In Zarathustra’s prologue when Zarathustra was alone he spoke thus to his heart: “Could it be possible! This old saint in his woods has not yet heard the news that God is dead!” Another important concept is the contrast between the overman and the last man. The…

Both Nietzsche and Marx challenge the dominant ideas in their societies. For Nietzsche, the dominate idea was Christian morality, and for Marx, capitalistic ideology. Two people differentiate in their ways of argument and intentions of arguments. By comparing the nobles and everyone else and explaining bad conscience, meaning the feeling of duty and obligation, as an evolved inwards punishment from which people enjoy themselves, Nietzsche points out the petty past of the widely embraced…

philosophy. Nietzsche 's moral philosophy is primarily critical in orientation: he attacks morality both for its commitment to untenable descriptive (metaphysical and empirical) claims about human agency, as well as for the deleterious impact of its distinctive norms and values on the flourishing of the highest types of human beings (Nietzsche 's “higher men”) (Stanford 2016). His positive ethical views are best understood as combining (i) a kind of consequentialist perfectionism as Nietzsche…
