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

An issue in today’s society is discrimination. For consistency I will define discrimination as anything that denies a group of people from any universal privileges. A few examples of this would be racism‚ LGBT (Lesbian‚ Gay‚ Bi‚ Transgender) rights‚ and sexism. These issue have been present through all points in American and World History‚ normally putting the white adult heterosexual male as the most privileged and discriminations putting everyone else below him. In the twenty-first century measures

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.

Society today lives off these illusions of rhetoric Nietzsche states that “The art of dissimulation reaches its peak in humankind‚ where deception‚ flattery‚ lying and cheating‚ speaking behind the backs of others‚ keeping up appearances‚ living in borrowed finery‚ wearing masks‚ the drapery of convention‚ play-acting for the benefit

Should the aesthetic (beauty) dimension replace the moral (goodness) dimension? To start I will give a description as to what I believe is the moral dimension. To explain this I will use an example of physics. We must all realize that the moral dimension is explained through the law of relativity which states that nothing is good or bad‚ big or small until it is related to something else. The law of relativity tells us that everything in our physical world is only made real by its relationship or

Johnny Lee Plato versus Nietzsche The central ideas that two great philosophers‚ Plato and Friedrich Nietzsche‚ talked about were the reality and appearance; and what they mainly focused on is where we as humans stand between these two. Of course‚ regarding the fact that Plato and Nietzsche lived in different time periods‚ they had their differences that conflict with each other’s theories. But they do have something to agree upon; they both argue that humans live in an illusory world of our
