    In “Beyond Good and Evil”‚ Friedrich Nietzsche argues that “life is will to power” (p.68). In this paper‚ I will argue for this argument because I believe that people are controlled by elements of power exist in every aspect of life. The kind of power that is being referred in this paper is the capability‚ ability to direct or influence others. A general life cycle consists of three phases: going to school‚ getting a job and eventually death. We have been exposed to this kind of power since the

    As Newmark puts it‚ Nietzsche ’[…] tirelessly pointed out that the question of values is first and foremost precisely that‚ a genuine question. Any given system of values […] has to be critically examined and interrogated before it can reasonably be accepted‚ maintained‚ or altered.’1 In this light‚ genealogy was the tool he developed in order to investigate the nature and origin of our values. By linking values to our instinctual life Nietzsche underlined their historical nature‚ thereby creating

    The Question: State your understanding of the philosophy of F. Nietzsche. What does he mean by saying "God is Dead"? Nietzsche’s philosophy is that of a radical view as it calls for the complete reevaluation of morals and blatantly attacks the Judeo-Christian tradition in modern society. He believed one should dare to become who they are. In order to ascertain one’s full potential as a human being‚ the ethic system of which by society runs‚ must be changed as it only

    1. Introduction "Lies‚ damned lies‚ and statistics" is a phrase describing the persuasive power of numbers‚ particularly the use of statistics to bolster weak arguments. It is also sometimes colloquially used to doubt statistics used to prove an opponent’s point. The term was popularised in the United States by Mark Twain (among others)‚ who attributed it to the 19th-century British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881): "There are three kinds of lies: lies‚ damned lies‚ and statistics."

    have to get rid of one or the other‚ but Nihilism theories seem to have a lot less explanatory power than do dualistic ones to me. In this paper I will argue that the clearest difference between Descartes and Nietzsche here is that whereas Descartes thought that ideas are passive‚ Nietzsche thought the opposite. Well‚ Descartes tries to prove the existence of God‚ which is the condition of establishing/ensuring an external world‚ including inter-subjectivity‚ in his view. God is a precondition of

    Nietzsche And Marx Foresee Modern Alienation Beyond typical philosophers solely focused on acquiring knowledge‚ Karl Marx and Friedrich Nietzsche were equally dedicated to actualizing their vision of a better society and way of life. Before our present state of modernism‚ Nietzsche and Marx were already prophesizing our societal flaws based on past wrongs done to humanity. The Spanish Inquisition‚ the African Slave Trade‚ and the Holocaust are all clear testaments to the detrimental effect that

    Though when most people think of superheroes they think of the type with super powers‚ the original idea of the ‘superman’ was developed by Friedrich Nietzsche in the 1800s. The ubermensch (literally overman in German) never had extra-ordinary powers and wasn’t developed as the protector of man. Instead‚ the superman is a person who has overcome all the flaws of mankind and is essentially ‘perfect.’ This idea‚ though it was thought of as an ideal goal that all people should strive for‚ has almost

    traditional nobility to the backdrop of the weaker peoples‚ (i.e.‚ poor‚ sick‚ etc.) Nietzsche paints a picture‚ essentially comparing how people of his time comparing religions‚ one better than another‚ in many cases just scapegoating Jews for the convenience of using that religion from a form of “ressentiment”. In other words‚ this type of thought can be derived from the master to slave morality‚ which Nietzsche focuses heavily on in this essay. Although‚ he states earlier that in a different form
