    Mill and Nietzsche have different ideas on how people act towards their actions. Mill focuses on the end purpose of human behaviors to create happiness for a group of people rather than an individual happiness. He defines Utilitarianism as human’s actions that lead to happiness.

    been attempted by successive writers. Jean-Paul Sartre and Friedrich Nietzsche both attempted to replace traditional morality with an ethics based on authenticity. This essay will discuss some of the initial similarities in their approaches‚ and identify where and why their approaches diverge. In the course of this examination‚ a number of prima facie objections to their theories will be examined‚ and I will argue that Nietzsche goes much further to create a positive morality than is usually thought

    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
