were rooted in the development of a universal truth and its relations to religious‚ artistic‚ and economic structures. Friedrich Nietzsche‚ a 19th century philosopher‚ destroyed this practice entirely by “rebuilding” philosophy from the ground up‚ being completely skeptical of every finding that had come before him. This included the principles of Christianity‚ which Nietzsche criticized deeply in his work Beyond Good and Evil. He particularly denounced Christianity for its focus on “slave morality‚”

In my opinion‚ the punishments are fair for James Gansman and Gerald Brodsky because they both violated the law.

The Black Prince is structured as Pearson’s apologia to his editor and friend P.A. Loxias. This allows Murdoch to address an audience directly‚ pausing for philosophical musings‚ without engaging in the post-modern trick of acknowledging the reader. Loxias and Pearson both write forewords to the main text. Pearson and four other characters offer competing postscripts. Two deny Loxias’s existence.

point of view‚ Nietzsche lived his later life in solitude and left professorship‚ and he traveled in search of good health. He suffered from poor health. Nietzsche has critiqued the happiness in modernism that it prohibits critical thinking. "I seek to understand out of what idiosyncrasy that Socratic equation reason=virtue=happiness derives: that bizarrest of equations and one which has in particular all the instincts of the older Hellenes against it" (Nietzsche 1968b: 31). Nietzsche‚ therefore‚ disregarded

This idea can be further concurred through Nietzsche’s critique of Descartes and his radicalisation of the Kantian critique of the paralogism. Within Beyond Good and Evil‚ Nietzsche focuses on subjectivity and questions where human beings belief in ‘I’ comes from. For Nietzsche‚ the problems in metaphysics are epitomised by subjectivity. The notion of personal identity has been shaped by thousands of years of questioning what it means when human beings say ‘I’‚ which has

Conard says that Bart does not take on the chaos like Nietzsche says but he is just an empty being of bad actions. This argument is ridiculous; Bart Simpson is as creative as creative gets
