Going from a Deleuzian perspective, Friedrich Nietzsche’s understanding of Christian love could be compared as something too complex to be just labeled as sadism or masochism. In Friedrich Nietzsche’s The Anti-Christ, he begs to differ but also takes the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze’s concepts of sadism and masochism from Deleuze’s Coldness and Cruelty under consideration. Analyzing Christian love through the filter of sexual perversion isn’t as unbelievable as one would think. Aspects of…

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…

After comprehensively examining one of the writings of well-known German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, titled, “Beyond Good and Evil,” I was able to perceive several elements that characterize his work to be knowledgeable, thought-provoking, and obscure. Although difficult to decipher because of his abundance of knowledge, it became evident through his reading that he detested ideas of nationalism; relatively alike, the indication of commonwealth principles, too. Despite the fact that…

ne of the ethical philosophy that interest me is the Nietzsche’s ethical 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…

The Controversies (An analysis of Karl Marx’s book about communism and capitalism.) Who got us working with the communist idea? There are many who wrote about it, but a man named Karl Marx had a strong opinion about it. Karl Marx began studying at the University of Bonn, he had two semesters there. Then he was imprisoned for disturbing the peace, then after he went to the University of Berlin. He received his doctorate from the University of Jena and began working as a journalist. Soon that…

Although Immanuel Kant and Nietzsche differed on some philosophical ideologies, yet the influence imposed on our current culture is a result of their innovative way of understanding the world around us. Today 's society follows similar ideologies, Nietzsche would oppose like, conformity, materialism, and knowledge. By the same token, the advancement of greed, envy, and technology would support Nietzsche 's philosophy. Our culture has placed more emphasis on a logical and factual method of…

Apollonian: The word Apollonian is an adjective that refers to the God Apollo of the Greek or Roman mythology. Apollo is the messenger Gods; the God of light, spring or youth, medicine and the art of music and also sometimes identified with the sun. He is a son of Zeus and one of the twelve main Gods. The adjective Apollonian was first used by the German philosopher F. W. J. Schelling and later by another German philosopher, F. Nietzsche, who explains it further in combination with the adjective…

It is well known that Deleuze had a negative opinion about comparative philosophy. In his eyes, comparative philosophy represented a certain type of ressentiment and a perverse satisfaction in exposing the contradictions of the other thinker; his method was monographic. 1 Adorno, on the other hand, was opposed to a notion of a Lebensphilosophie in general, holding that any attempt to ground philosophy on a notion of lived experience was nothing but blind self-assertion.2 Undermining the spirit…

labour is for the benefit of the worker, but as the texts I analyse further down show, this is not always the case. In this essay I will view labour through the lens of The Tempest by William Shakespeare and The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. In effect this essay will be a Marxist reading of The Tempest, paying close attention to the way social class works to exploit the members lower down . By analysing these two texts and using literary…

In The Communist Manifesto Marx and Engels argue that “These labourers, who must sell themselves piecemeal, are a commodity” (Marx and Engels 18). Respectively, a working person, according to them, becomes a commodity once they start selling their work and compete with other laborers for the buyer. By its definition, a commodity is an inanimate noun and usually applied to objects that are for sale. Therefore, the comparison of a human being to a commodity means the deprivation of one of their…
