Layne Johnson Dr. Scott Austin PHIL 251-502 December 6‚ 2011 Nietzsche and the Ascetic Ideal According to Friedrich Nietzsche in his third essay of “On the Genealogy of Morals” the ascetic ideal is nothing more than a false sense of moral codes and boundaries set to fill what would be an otherwise void part of the human mind. Nietzsche believes that any true philosopher will reject the notion of ascetic ideals as a creation of the misguided masses of society. He believed that to make sense of

Nietzsche believes that society needs to develop a new art form that recognizes the balance between the apollonian and Dionysian influence to reaffirm human existence. Nietzsche uses the Greek Gods‚ Apollo

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 Essay Nietzsche begins the second essay‚ which is an exploration of the origins of guilt and morality‚ by presenting the problem of humankind: breeding an animal with the ‘prerogative to promise’. Humans must actively forget things in order to cope with life – without doing this we could not have mental order or any semblance of happiness. Forgetting things‚ then‚ is a strength‚ but is also the natural tendency of our minds. Memory is not the passive retention of impressions that many

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

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

shown when someone teaches you of morality. Meaning the ’moral dimension’ can be revealed only within a group of people. Some reasons why the aesthetic dimension should not replace the moral dimension is because: 1. Research shows that the reason humans struggle with emotion to find solutions to their problems is related to the part of the brain called the insular cortex (insula). This is also where our emotional reactions take place. The brain is able to detect so easily when something is unfair

Furthermore‚ Freud and Nietzsche differ in their beliefs of human potential. On the whole‚ Freud gages human happiness based on the state of civilization. Freud is cynical about the progress of humanity and even dares to suggest that even though he has no way to prove it‚ our entire society might be neurotic (Freud 147). He reasons that if neurosis cases can arise from unexplained feelings of guilty in individuals and development of the individual parallels the evolution of civilization‚ then it
