Nietzsche's Influence On Religion

Nietzsche was a revolutionary author and philosopher who has had a tremendous impact on German culture up through the twentieth century and even today. Nietzsche's views were very unlike the popular and conventional beliefs and practices of his time and nearly all of his published works were, and still are, rather controversial, especially in On the Genealogy of Morals. His philosophies are more than just controversial and unconventional viewpoints, however; they are absolutely extreme and dangerous if taken out of context or misinterpreted. After Nietzsche's death it took very little for his sister to make some slight alterations to his works to go along with Nazi ideology.

Friedrich Nietzsche, a prominent German philosopher in the 19th century is one of the most well-read philosophers of the past two-centuries. His ideas regarding morality and nature continue to be discussed and debated to this day among scholars of all beliefs.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1929. He attended Morehouse College and upon his graduation he chose to go in the route of his father to pursue Baptist Ministry. Dr. King wanted us all to be treated fairly; he was influenced by Mohandas Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolence and was convinced that all African Americans should utilize his powerful words as a new way of an equal life. Dr. King was a civil rights activist, who believed in transcendence, that right and wrong do exist. His powerful words given during his I have a dream speech led him to earn the Noble Peace Prize. Friedrich Nietzsche was born in Röcken, Prussia in 1844. In 1864 he enrolled in the University of Bonn to study theology. He began to doubt his

In his book, Twilight of the Idols, Friedrich Nietzsche aggressively challenges conventional schools of thought dating back to the ancients. Philosophy, as we know it, began over two-thousand years ago in Athens with the birth of Socrates. Socrates introduced the practice of reasoning and dialectics—the art of discourse hoping to bring individuals closer to some universal truth—to an Athenian society that previously held aesthetics, not logic, as indicative of goodness. Socrates revolutionized life in Athens, and by extension, the Western tradition. His beliefs are found in works written centuries after his death. He is heralded as the “father of philosophy.”

Friedrich Nietzche was born in Rocken. He spent much of his time alone, reading the Bible. Nietzsche’s father died in 1849. The young man withdrew deeper into religion.

Friedrich Nietzsche certainly serves as a model for the single best critic of religion. At the other end of this spectrum, Jonathan Edwards emerges as his archrival in terms of religious discourse. Nietzsche argues that Christianity’s stance toward all that is sensual is that grounded in hostility, out to tame all that rests on nature, or is natural, akin to Nietzsche’s position in the world and his views. Taking this into account, Edwards’s views on Christianity should be observed in context targeted at those who agree with his idea, that G-d is great and beyond the capacity of human reason.

Friedrich Nietzsche was born in Röken, the Prussian province of Saxony on October 15 of 1844. Nietzsche had some troubles in his young age including the death of his father when he was five years old and suffering from migraines. When he was fourteen Nietzsche was awarded a scholarship to Schulpforta "with the intent of training for the clergy" (The European Graduate School). It was here that he gained a strong background in both Greek and Latin. The young theologian then continued to study theology and philosophy at the University of Bonn. He gave up on theology, however, and transferred to Leipzig where he was introduced to the works of Kant, works that would greatly influence his future writings. In 1868 he served in the army but his

As mentioned previously, Nietzsche is one of the most brilliant thinkers of his time. The main reason that inspires me to research him and his ideas is that Nietzsche’s philosophy is something that I have never been exposed to in my life. Being an Orthodox Christian, many of the ideas that I was exposed to are from the church’s perspectives. On the other hand, Nietzsche is known for his criticism of Christianity as well as his controversial and radical ideas that are considered very influential in the western world. Furthermore, Nietzsche’s philosophy is so powerful and difficult to comprehend as they are often misinterpreted which presents a challenge for me to study and understand. Finally, I believe that studying Nietzsche’s philosophy will

There are numerous arguments presented on the modern death of God by the German Idealist (Hegel, Feuerbach), the existentialists (Nietzsche, Frederick Depoortere Paul Sartre), and the modern scientists (Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris). Nietzsche, argues that from the modern death, it does not imply that experiences a physical death, but he theorizes that if Christians doubt the availability of the spiritual being, then the community’s morality will be separated. On the other hand, Richard Dawkins argues that, God’s notion should be observed or considered just like the other scientific hypothesis. The German Idealists Hegel and Feuerbach argue that God is also a complete being and that God is the holy mystery that people cannot understand the same way they understand other things in the world.

As a result of Nietzsche's support for his argument, Christianity does reject life, for it rejects master morality. Christianity rejects life overall because it does not allow people to grow as a human and to expand humanity in its best interest. This is through the following instances that it promotes hatred of the earth, slave morality, an inferior lifestyle, and finally self-denial. From all of these examples Nietzsche provides, Christianity is not in humanity's best interest. Christianity does not care about one's capability to succeed and to evolve in life. However, a person does, in fact, have the potential to do so. Nietzsche strongly believes in this, and clearly, continues to state the endless possibilities man has to offer towards

Friedrich Nietzsche was born in German in October, 15 1844. Growing up, he was raised in Christian protestant family. He had one younger brother and one younger sister. He looked to his father for a life advice including for religious. But as time passes, his father died and his younger brother followed a year later. After his father died, he lost that father figure. Therefore, As he grew he started to develop new ideas that are taboo during that period. He was mistake for being a Nazi or nihilist, which he wasn’t. It was his sister who edited his work and sold it to the Nazi. He didn’t support nihilist, instead he warned against nihilism, which stated that nothing matters in life.

Nietzsche was born in a small village in Germany on October 15th 1844. He often spoke of an idea called “life-affirmation”, which basically means questioning everything honestly. He is one of the most famous philosophers and he had an interesting look at philosophy. He believed philosophy was not “a critique of words by means of other words” (untimely meditations) but it is a practical way to help your self grow, overcome and become a greater person. By doing this one would be able to affirm life no matter what tragedies you are faced with, “There are heights of the soul from which even tragedy ceases to look tragic” (Beyond Good and Evil).

Friedrich Nietzsche was a 19th-century German philosopher and held in regard amongst the greatest philosophers of the early part century. He sharpened his philosophical skills through reading the works of the earlier philosophers of the 18th century such as Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill, Arthur Schopenhauer and African Spir; however, their works and beliefs were opposite to his own. His primary mentor was Author Schopenhauer, whose belief was that reality was built on the foundation of experience. Such as it is, one of his essays, Schopenhauer als Erzieher, published in 1874, was dedicated to Schopenhauer (Mencken, 2008). In the past two centuries, his work has had authority and influence in both

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) was one of the most influential philosophers and intellectual thinkers of the 19th century. He is considered one of the founders of modern existentialism, and his works have influenced various philosophers such as Martin Heidegger and Georges Bataille. His works often ran perpendicular to conventional beliefs of his time, and was received in numerous respects. Nietzsche really did not care who you were, or what it was, he had a criticism on almost everything. Most notably, he criticized Christianity, German cultural beliefs, Democracy, and traditional morality. He caused much controversy to say the least. Nietzsche has often been taken out of context and his literature misinterpreted, most famously
