to write. That manuscript was unfortunately destroyed. It was ironic that his desire to write on psychological topics aided him to endure three nightmarish years imprisoned. This situation confirmed to Frankl words by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, words that are often repeated during this book. The volume is divided into two. The first part explains Frankl’s experience in the death camp. The second part, explains logotherapy and its basic concepts.…

Things that have happened or are happening. This is were the debate about morality comes into play. For Aristotle, Truth was more about being moral; which is more than can said of our next interpretation from that of German Philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche argues in his essay titled, On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense, that “truth” is what we as humans give an object with words. In other words, what “we” as humans hold to be true. As humans we like to assimilate and stick…

On September 24, 1924, Clarence Darrow Delivered a speech before Judge John Coverly. In this speech Darrow implies that two boys, Nathan Leopold, age 19 and Richard Loeb, age 18 should not get the death penalty for the murder of Bobby Franks. Darrow cleverly argues his point that the boys were taught that human was cheap due to war and inhumane emotions and also argues against inhuman methods and punishments of the American justice system. Though the boys are indeed guilty of the crime they…

Friedrich Nietzsche once spoke about poets as being “shameless with their experiences: they exploit them” (109). This quote most definitely describes one of the most descriptive British poets in the world, John Keats. Autumn is the season of steady decline and sadness, a time of the year when beauty dies and despair takes over. The pride and glory of the people plummets like autumn leaves. However, John Keats believes autumn to be the season of beauty, awe, and tranquility and he backs it up…

Is “Censorship” of Hate Speech Necessary? Current Issues: Civil Liberties defines hate speech as speech that degrades “a person’s ethnicity, language, religion, political views, or socioeconomic class” (Roleff, p.). Jeremy Waldron, a professor at New York University, wrote his book, The Harm in Hate Speech, on the thesis that hate speech “undermines the equal dignity of individual members of vulnerable minorities.” Any “well-ordered society,” according to Waldron, should restrict hate speech. He…

originated in Europe in the early 19th century. The ideas to existentialism emphasize on human beings existing, having the freedom and a choice in life matters. The philosophers who were the creators of this movement were Soren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Fyodor Dostoyevsky. During World War II (WWII) the existentialism became increasingly protuberant. It was during this time that philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre came into existence.

According to Friedrich Nietzsche, “Hope is in truth the worst of all evils, because it protracts the torment of men” (Nietzsche 45). The Road is set in a post-apocalyptic “grey world” where the last remnants of humanity fade away into oblivion. This world is literally “dead”(%^%), life as we know it is over and civilisation is beyond saving. To complicate the situation, however, McCarthy infuses hope into this dystopian world. This creates an illusion of hope where in fact, there is none for the…

experience no need in the church or the government will get rid of religion’s source of power – it is just a matter of time. Many great scientists and philosophers even insist on destroying the churches’ principles. The great German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said: “God is dead: but considering the state Man is in, there will perhaps be caves, for ages yet, in which his shadow will be shown. And this shadow should be killed”. Possibly, there is no chance of thinking that rude way for a…

Life is an adventure. Like any adventure, life is full of obstacles, challenges, and setbacks. These challenges include things like getting your first job, going through your first break-up, or to put each of these things in their own category...high school. High school is a very small, beginning chapter of life. To me, highschool alone was a very big challenge in life. My freshman year, I had started dating a boy who was a senior. Everything was fine until his classmates began to pick on me for…

killed his brother, Abel. As punishment, God sends him to be a restless wanderer. Evil reared its ugly head again when the Jews wanted to get rid of Jesus because they felt like He was committing ‘blasphemy’. “Man is the cruelest animal.” (Friedrich Nietzsche). “I trust everyone. I just don’t trust the devil inside them.” (Troy Kennedy Martin).\…
