Philosophy is plagued by problem of split of theoretical and practical ideas. Just because it makes sense and works with variables held constant, or simplified models Ceterus Paribus. This truly manifests in the transition to the real world where things are not so simply, application of theoreticals never work the way they are intended. Both Nietzsche and Sartre suffer in these regards, existentialism is not designed to be fully adopted. What, if any ideas can even survive the conversion from…

Marxism, is, however, the most well known and most practiced form of communism which has been the foundation for many large nations. Created by Karl Marx and his life-long friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels, Marxism is a branch of communism which rejects the tenets of capitalism by a historical method, pointing out the flaws of economic strategies adopted before capitalism and why they were replaced with capitalism, before showing capitalism…

The Wanderer and Shadow and the Magician had near the same response when they were questioned. Zarathustra went to the Wanderer and Shadow telling them that they cannot be free if they are idolizing the Ass. He questions the Wanderer and Shadow in how they express how much they are free. However, the Wanderer and Shadow stood by the Ugliest Man (the one who killed God) saying that he brought God back. The next one to be on the questioning block is the clever magician. Zarathustra believes that…

It can be easily understood that Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx wanted to challenge the status quo within their societies. They grew to a level of dissatisfaction from the production of their community and wanted to emphasize the problems and revelations to birth from this. Karl Marx was born in 1818, in Trier, Germany. From a young age, Marx was curious about the conservative government that he lived under. This curiosity turned to frustration, then anger and he sought to research and reveal the…

Man’s final and complete happiness consists of actualizing his potential. The potential consists in the contemplation of the divine essence. Thus, happiness and the divine essence are in turn identical and inseparable. Although, contemplating the divine essence is withheld from us until we are in the world to come. As long as man desires and seeks something, he remains unhappy. This is because the intellect seeks the essence of a thing. For example, knowing an effect, like a solar eclipse, the…

So we see that from the very beginning Nietzsche frames the Genealogy of Morals in the light of his worries concerning the self-awareness of those supposed to be the “learned ones”. In this, genealogy’s positive aspect emerges, as we can appreciate how Nietzsche’s work is driven by the desire of presenting these men of knowledge with their lack of self-awareness, as well as with the tool to overcome it. In this respect, my understanding is that the “beehives of our knowledge” are an image and…

The Challenge of Atheism Nietzsche presents that Christians base their beliefs on faith, without reason, creating a lifestyle in which we are destined to exist passively. The message he sends is that we have a choice. That is, to become dependent on God in a society that has essentially killed him, or to become our own God. Faith is a pillar of Christianity, but you can't go as far as Nietzsche and say that the Christian moral values are invalid because there is no reason behind it. When he…

Based on one of Friedrich Nietzsche's most distinguished philosophy book ever written during the 18th century, he develops a new philosopher ideal. In the book "Beyond Good and Evil," Nietzsche inquires a philosophy of the future for "free spirits". Nietzsche describes the distinct species of a philosopher, the "free spirits" and contrasts the false free spirits with the true free spirits. Nietzsche mentions the French Revolution, Voltaire, Stendhal, and "modern ideas". Nietzsche's claim argues…
