Beyond Good and Evil‚ Nietzsche identifies common prejudices of past and present philosophers. Nietzsche begins with a critique of “Faith in opposite values”‚ an assumption that the world is divided into opposites. The foundational sets of opposites include truth versus falsehood‚ and conscious thinking versus instincts. However‚ Nietzsche finds that these are little more than ago-old accepted truths‚ which are in fact prejudices (Nietzsche‚ Beyond Good and Evil‚ 1886‚ 6). Nietzsche‚ also points to another

Another of the more offensive and bothersome comments—according to men—made by Nietzsche concerning women is also found in Beyond Good and Evil in the section entitled “Seven Little Sayings on Women.” This section states “men have treated women hitherto like birds… something which has to be caged up so that it shall not fly away” (166). Maudemarie Clark‚ a feminist writer‚ upon her first reading of this passage‚ translated it to mean women were a “possession‚ as property that can be locked” away

Hitler’s Misinterpretation of Nietzsche No serious thinker has done more unintentional harm to the Jewish people than Friedrich Nietzsche. Following his death‚ Nietzsche’s writings served as an inspiration and philosophical justification for Adolf Hitler and Nazism. Quite paradoxically‚ Nietzsche was far from anti-Semitic; in fact‚ many considered Nietzsche to be one of the more pro-Jewish philosophers of his era. Although Nietzsche’s position against anti-Semitism seems clear in the

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‚”

Nietzsche’s critique of Judeo-Christian values As perhaps one of the most important pieces of work written by Nietzsche‚ “On the Genealogy of Morality” contains some of his most complex and provocative thoughts on the nature of morality and its origins. It is evident throughout his essays that Nietzsche has a profound discontent with modern society and its values‚ a discontent that Nietzsche attempts to explain through a thorough critique of the modern values that have stemmed from the rise of Judeo-Christianity

Peter teaches us‚ followers of Christ‚ key things to truly follow Christ. In 1 Peter‚ he stresses that Christians are to be God ’s obedient children‚ "chosen race‚ royal priesthood‚ holy nation‚ God ’s own people" (1:14). Us as Christians are striving to be a “human-like” Jesus if you will. We are God’s people on Earth doing his work for the work of Him. One example of a true believer is that you have encountered the true and living God and that you have undergone a change in your heart and soul
