Nietzsche's View On Women

Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet in the 16th century, at a time when the role of the woman was to be subservient to men and act as a wife to their husband and a mother to their children. Women were expected to conform to the expectations of society, and were seen as possessions by their fathers and husbands. Fathers arranged their daughters’ marriages, usually for financial or social gain for the family. In Romeo and Juliet, the unfair treatment of women is conveyed through characters such as Juliet, a young girl who is growing up within the expectations of society, and Lady Capulet, who represents a traditional side of love, and values social position rather than men themselves.

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.

Christianity had become the enemy of life and nature and the church has stifled its followers by turning them into closed minded and weak humans. Nietzsche ultimately believed that religion creates a concept of anti-natural morality which damages our development as humans quite

A passionate, anti-democratic philosopher who was born in 1844, Friedrich Nietzsche was a very influential being who was excellent at expressing his unique beliefs and theories (Kalish). He was given the title: “the honorable philosopher of the Third Reich” (Golumb and Wistrich). Nietzsche has many well-developed and rigorous books that provide much influence and still have relevance in today's world. Nietzsche was the most important influence on Nazi philosophy. His influence on Nazi philosophy is clearly seen through the effects his book, The Will to Power, left on the Nazi people. Another aspect of his influence arouses from his ambiguous and vague style of writing. Finally, Nietzsche’s influence on the Nazis is noticeable through

Friedrich Nietzsche was one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, but perhaps also the most misunderstood. Born in the Prussian Province of Saxony nearing the end of 1844, Nietzsche grew into his philosophical ideals. His works encompass a wide array of themes, covering all things from truth and morality, to language, cultural theory, power and consciousness to the meaning of existence and much more in between.MORE- can be about hitler using nietzsche and about nietzsche's life. Hitler and Nazis misleadingly glorified Nietzsche’s work to justify their own regime; they, however, not only misunderstood Nietzsche's stances on Jews, the superiority of Germanic peoples, large governments and mass morality, but were aided in their

After connecting the passage to Nietzsche’s opinion of a fulfilled lifestyle, I believe that he would disagree with Smith’s way of living. The two have contrasting ideas, in which Nietzsche’s seems to be a more ethical one in the fullest sense.

Some examples of Nietzsche's philosophy found today are the elections. Candidates running for office are seeking power. Power is obtained from others, and the candidates are attempting to receive power from voters. Nietzsche writes, “We hurt those to whom we need to make our power perceptible… We benefit and show benevolence toward those who already depend on us in some way. The candidates who are running, “attack” the other candidates in order to show that they are above or better then them, and they show compassion towards voters to show “this is how great of a person I am”. Another example found in today’s society is companies and their advertisements. In advertisements, once again comparing present-day to Nietzsche's philosophy, the different companies think of each other as competition, and therefore criticize one another’s faults to make the consumer see why they should choose them. An example of Nietzsche's philosophy found in The House of the Scorpion is how Tom was so focused on Matt’s faults. Tom would reveal much of Matt’s flaws and imperfections to Maria, so that he would seem like the “better choice”. One example of this shown in the text is when Tom lured Matt and Maria to the hospital and revealed the Macgregor’s clone. Tom opened up the doors and said scornfully, “It’s not a boy… It’s a clone.” This was to show Maria that Matt was not an actual boy, but a filthy creature

A subtopic worth further exploration within The Inferno is the depiction and representation of women. The Inferno mentions very few women throughout, and that makes it all the more salient to analyze the presence of these feminine characters for the fact that they are female carries more weight within the context of the poem than what they say alone. Dante lived in an era when women did not occupy influential roles in the public realm, and were actually discouraged from engaging in intellectual or philosophical debate. Women were not allowed to take part in political discourse nor communicate through the medium of poetry. For the exclusion of women from the historical and literary western canon, Dante’s perception of women in The Divine Comedy can be seen as an underlying framework for further discussion about the consideration of women. What makes Dante’s dialogue even more germane is his use of women from both pagan and Christian epochs, endowed with key virtues of salvation, but closely linked to secular goals (Glenn, xiii-xiv).

Friedrich Nietzsche was born in Friedrich, Germany in 1844, later died in 1900. Nietzsche literature and history philosophy was considered to be worst sophist. All moral philosophers have been soporific, misleading. In other words, do not believe in just anything a “God” tell you because there is no God. Nietzsche was a moral theorist as new moral theorist many try to adopt moral theory and add science aspects. But not consider idea of conscience in same way as former moral theorist have in the past. Being a moral theorist in regards to actually raises doubt that there is such thing as morality. There are two known moralities, Master and Slave morality. These moralities came based on what Nietzsche said, “to be a human is to be a beast, and tube a superior beast, a person must be able to attack, control, happiness, exploit the weak. All societies have a class and within the class, known as ruling caste. The ruling caste originated from barbarian caste in state of nature. Where violence and power is wanted greatly. The hire you are in the caste you are considered to have more power, or in Nietzsche case you have more knowledge. Having more knowledge is the only way a person can reach true happiness. Nietzsche created these steps to Astuteness moral castration. The steps consist of making virtue the goal, set up standards for the virtue, opponents are ungodly, suffering

He hypothesized that this gradual turning away from God would be such a gradual process that people would not realize that it was even happening until the idea had almost been exterminated (Frame 45). Nietzsche then proposed that there are no absolutes or standards for us to live by and therefore, God could not be real since he would have created those very standards into being (Lawhead 454).Because of this, Nietzsche said, people would never be able to take full responsibility for themselves and still leave room for God (Frame 49). Instead, he favored the idea that the true origin of morals could be found in the human flaw to desire a state of being viewed as powerful (Lawhead 456). Although he denied God’s existed and felt that morals came from a thirst for power, Nietzsche was quoted as saying that Jesus came “not to ‘redeem men’ but to show how one must live (Lawhead 455).”

Friedrich Nietzsche’s argument against Christian morality is heavily reliant on a history based (genealogical) argument. The nihilistic tendencies of Christianity are one source of Nietzsche’s antagonism. He uses nihilism and the resulting asceticism to argue heavily in favor of new and reevaluated values for the betterment of human life. Nietzsche’s argument uses history to contest the altruistic story of religion and pointedly examine the negative background of Christianity. This in turn creates a space to tear apart modern morality and promote the growth of Nietzsche’s hierarchical Roman morality. Nietzsche initially appears to have great face validity in his genealogical argument. However, closer analysis of his discussion provokes criticism

Nietzsche saw justice that only someone who is of equal class and power can truly achieve. He claim is used more in a society that is new compared to one that is older which would over look more things. Furthermore Nietzsche saw that those without power could not receive justice over someone with greater

The world was changing and he knew this and you can see it in his writings the great thinker, was revolutionizing a new concept without having God deep in it. Nietzsche even though he is writing that God is dead he can’t believe his own writings this is why it sounds like the ramblings of a

If society is asked how they portray women, their answers would vary exponentially. Their speculations would depend on personal experience and how society portrays women in general. In the play, Othello, William Shakespeare portrays Desdemona and Emilia as confident and loyal, which causes them to be mistreated. Shakespeare demonstrates this through their speech and actions but also shows how disrespected they are by their loved ones even though they remain loyal to them.

Throughout history and today, we women are constant victims of stereotyping from our society. Certain “rules” have to be followed and certain “ideal” women images have to be kept. We are raised in a way to fill certain position where the society wants us to be and as a result, the opportunities are always limited for us and ideas of our importance in the society are diminishing. Even though women gained some independence, where women can work and take various position in society, the society’s idea of typical role of women never seem to change.
