Genealogy

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 criticism of what Nietzsche thought was the education of the “men of knowledge of his days” - that is, one built on notions mindlessly amassed in the same way bees do with pollen. This attitude, causes the learned ones to be aware of everything save for…

brought up in a Catholic family, the bible was something that everyone in our family had to read. It wasn’t a choice, it was mandatory something that my family like to do together occasionally. Although we read the bible a lot, we never questioned it or came up to a point where we stopped to evaluate and compare the books we were reading. We just try to understand it and process everything a passage would say in the old and new testament. We also went to church and when the priest does the…

2) What, according to Nietzsche, is wrong with Christian/slave morality? Make sure that your account of slave morality draws from each of the three essays in the Genealogy. Are there any arguments from within Nietzsche’s own text that might place slave morality in a better light? Nietzsche’s Genealogy of Morality is a rejection and appreciation of slave morality.

Adopted Children's Right to Meet Birth Parents (Pro) When a child is adopted, they most likely do not know any of their family background. A lot of children actually have this problem, and it is because many adopted children are not allowed to meet their birth parents or see any information about them. The privacy and protection of the birth parents is important, but a child’s need and want to know their background is often required for them to have a sense of who they are. Although birth…

While watching the film “Lalee’s Kin”, I gather as much information needed to be able to help assess this families concerns. Information that include the Lalee’s family economic status, in which they were living in poverty coming from a background of sharecroppers and slavery. Some addition information I retain about Lalee’s family, was their educational status, which Lalee only had a six grade education. Lalee’s family demographics, which Lalee had three grandchildren living with her and her…

In the United States, civil rights have become a hot topic and protests have erupted all over the country for the right to certain things such as the issues in the LGBT community and police brutality. There is one right that is even more basic than these rights and forbidden to many Americans; the basic right to know to where one comes from. I understand this right from a personal level and know what the lack of this information can mean to some. For those affected by the lack of access to…

The first book of the New Testament is the Gospel of Matthew. While the Book of Matthew is read by all people around the world, Matthew himself intended this book to be read by a certain demographic, the Jews. Even after Jesus’ death, many Jews weren’t convinced that Jesus was the Messiah, so Matthew wrote his testimonies down to prove to them that Jesus was in fact the Messiah. This can be seen in both the content and wording of the information and events recorded in his accounts. One of the…

where we came from. This is not the case, because the entire book is a detailed genealogy. The book of Genesis was written with its genealogical aspects as the point of convergence. Genesis was strategically written for a considerable amount of reasons such as the historically reliable…

Have you ever thought about what your name means? Why your parents chose your name? Even in books authors choose character names for a certain reason and not randomly. Usually the name’s meaning helps the readers get a sense of the character’s personality. God, like many authors, chose wisely when choosing the names of the humans in the Bible. For example, Jesus’ name means God saves. It’s significant because God sent Jesus to save us from sin. There are many instances when God changes someone’s…
