Through this quote‚ Friedrich Nietzsche explores the relationships between conflicting groups in society and the boundaries that set each group apart. Nietzsche’s obscure choice of words‚ namely “the lonely one”‚ indicates that he felt that more than one group of people were suffering. “The lonely one” could be the friendless child‚ the woman in a man’s world‚ the leader making necessary but unpopular decision or the black man in a sea of white; any person wronged due to the social hegemonies and

In Of the Genealogy of Morality‚ Nietzsche sought to provide context for what he saw as the central value system of the society in which he lived: slave-morality. Nietzsche saw morality as reflective of the conditions in which its proponents were brought up. He saw the roots of slave morality in oppression and slavery‚ and posits that it grew as a reaction to the morality of the masters of the time.

Like Pirsig ’s puzzling drive for truth‚ it is Nietzsche ’s drive for truth that actually facilitates self-deception. In On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense‚ Nietzsche ’s treatment of truth supports this dichotomy of belief and actually breaks down the classical definition of the lie. In doing so

For the explanation of this concept of nihilism uses a master and slave situation. This situation can be used to explain the nature of the master and the slave‚ the role that resentment plays‚ and the importance of strength. Nietzsche says that nihilism means that the highest values devalue themselves. Values

Ecce Homo by Nietzsche is ironically a reflection of himself. It is extremely sarcastic and is a reflection of himself as a writer and philosopher in a self-deprecatory manner . The book is as though he is putting his life on trial to which the title alludes. The words "ecce homo" (behold‚ the man) were proclaimed by Pontius Pilate in the New Testament of the Bible when he gave up Jesus to the Jews to have them do what they liked with him. Likewise Nietzsche is giving himself up to his readers and

Nietzsche was a unique philosopher that had some very interesting ideas about people’s human values and personality types. In the following passage from Nietzsche‚ " .this is the image of all life‚ and from this learn the meaning of your life! And conversely: Read only your own life‚ and from this understand the hieroglyphs of universal life!" According to Nietzsche‚ I think he defines that all morality is a manifestation of the will to power. People stress independence‚ personal dignity‚ self-approval

This bears comparison with the book of Revelation when the antichrist appears as the false prophet (Zaleski). In The Magician’s Nephew‚ Digory rings the bell that awakens the White Witch.
