Nihilism: Don’t Embrace Nietzsche’s Nothingness “Life itself is essential assimilation, injury, violation of the foreign and the weaker, suppression, hardness, the forcing of One’s own forms upon something else, ingestion and—at least in its mildest form—exploitation.” -Nietzsche Beyond Good and Evil The nihilism analysis has been prevalent position over the past few years.

Question 3) In the first essay of On the Genealogy of Morality, Nietzsche’s central concern is the slave revolt in morality. In this paper, I argue that Nietzsche does not think Marx an example of the slave revolt in morality as Nietzsche’s view of the slave class is different to Marx’s view of the proletarians as well as their differing suggestions in terms of imaginary revenge and physical revolution. To begin with, Nietzsche explains in the first essay that master morality is one associated…

In 1848, Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels published ‘The Communist Manifesto’ that was aimed at presenting the arguments, goals, and platform of Communism. The publication was a commissioned work that was intended to articulate the objective and platform of the Communist League, an international political party founded in 1847 in London, England. The authors point out the benefits of communism and the need for its application in the future. Besides, the manifesto was a proposal reading…

Nietzsche expresses his thoughts about art in his work “Birth of Tragedy” for the first time. The main reason why he writes this book is to examine Greek tragedy. He creates two concepts in this work: Apollonian and Dionysian principles. Apollonian principle is created by influencing from Apollo who is son of Zeus and Leto. He is god of order, harmony and rationalism. Dionysian principle stands for Dionysus’ qualities. Being son of Zeus and Semele, he is known as the god of disorder,…

5. The natural history of moral: In the word of Nietzsche, the present day moral sentiments in Europe is as diverse, irritable, subtle as the “science of morals” is still raw and awkward. Today’s philosophers lack the historical outlook and they try to justify morality their own morality. Nietzsche states that people are different from the way they think, and they possessed. He gives the example of knowledge and charity as a means of possession because when a child gets some knowledge from his…

He who is guilty and driven by ambition will be blindly pulled around until justice stares him in the face. The Lion King by Roger Allers and Macbeth by Shakespeare are two very different pieces of work but have similar themes throughout. The Lion King and Macbeth have two character in which guilt haunts them in different ways. Blood is significant in both pieces of literature because the main characters feel that they cannot get the blood of others off their hands. Both characters go on a…

In this essay, I will discuss Nietzsche’s idea of the division between slave and master morality. First, I will give a detailed account of slave morality. Then, I will give a detailed account of master morality. Finally, I will explain how, for Nietzsche, the transition from master to slave morality occurred, and why he sees this to be a problem for humanity as a whole. Slave morality differs greatly from master morality. Many values within slave morality include being humble, being kind, and…

In their essay, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels examine the history of the classes regarding how one exploits the other. Applying this idea to “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner reveals how this theory is present not just in industrial settings, but in towns and communities. Emily Grierson’s…

For those who have read Nietzsche, it comes as no surprise that he had a great aversion for what religion had to offer people. His disdain for religion is fueled by his belief that the dogmatic proclamations put forth by religious teachings only have served as a means of controlling and inhibiting true human nature. Nietzsche’s perspective on the historical development of religions influence on human morality, forces one to consider the broader dimensions of religious influence on human thought…

Soren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche were two of the most prominent philosophers in the period following the enlightenment. Kierkegaard was from Denmark, and skillfully used pseudonyms and fictional characters to present his work. Nietzsche was from Germany, and was a ruthless critic of morality, Christianity, and many other aspects of the society he lived in. In Kierkegaard’s first work Either/Or, he uses fictional characters by the names of A and Judge William to preach the aesthetic…
