Nietzsche refers to Charles Darwin‚ who developed the theory of evolution of a species

As an interlude‚ it bastardises the integrity of the previous three books if they are viewed as an artistic whole‚ and was only published in Nietzsche’s lifetime as a private run of 40 copies and only seven copies were circulated amongst Nietzsche’s close friends (and they were admonished to keep the fourth part’s existence secret).

“Once upon a time‚ in some out of the way corner of that universe which is dispersed into numberless twinkling solar systems‚ there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing” (Nietzsche‚ “On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense” L.10). There is no better way to begin this paper‚ for all the concepts that I write down are inherently trivial and hold no cosmological significance. The inevitable extinction of consciousness is impartial to this expression of my collective synapses. I hope that

Three of the more well know philosophers are Paley‚ Nietzsche and Tolstoy. Although the three claim to have discovered the meaning of life‚ they all have differing theories. Paley takes the stance that only a few key things need to be in place for one to have a sense meaning in life. It is simple‚ “private

“The Ideal Person” Nietzsche’s Ubermensch concept of the “ideal person” was able to achieve self-actualization‚ and has developed himself holistically. What Nietzsche meant by achieving self-actualization was to achieve one’s full potential through creativity‚ independence‚ spontaneity‚ and a grasp on the real world.
