instance, or a whale. Nietzsche described the nature of the drives and desires of a species in Beyond Good and Evil. He said,   if it is a living and not a dying body ... it will have to be an incarnate will to power, it will strive to grow, spread, seize, become predominant -- not from any morality or immorality but because it is living and because life simply is will to power. (Good and Evil 259)   If we, like other animals, have a life which "simply is will to power," and that

In the past one hundred years, multiple events have led to people questioning the basis of human nature. The World Wars, 9/11, the Atomic bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and the Vietnam War are all just a few instances that challenged the perception of the extent to which humans have the capacity to maliciously and savagely harm one another. William Golding’s Lord of the Flies serves as a perfect fictional example of such questioning. Set on an island during World War II, a group of British schoolchildren

concept of slave and master morality in the chapter about “Good, bad and evil”. He explains it as a society which is split into two, where a “militarily and politically dominant group of ‘masters’ exercises absolute control over a completely subordinate group of ‘slaves” (xx). Thus, the slaves become the abused, oppressed, and weak- what he refers to as slave morality. Meanwhile, the masters are the noble human beings who determine what is good and bad based on their own values- which he defines as master

Art is a form of communication. Art is a form of language. The language of art can be elaborated in a multitude of ways, as well. These methods include the content, process, or themes of the artwork. The pieces “Who Tells the Truth?” and “Beyond Good and Evil” by Joshua Lohin, which I found in the University Gallery, Fulton Hall 109, are prime examples of art being conveyed as a language through their content. Firstly, the artwork “Who Tells the Truth?” by Joshua Lohin, is a digital print, depicting

In “Beyond Good and Evil”, Nietzsche reveals the two primary forms of morality, this would be the master morality and slave morality. In the lecture we discussed Nietzche’s fatalism he believed that events people are fated, so each individual is fated to either have a master or slave type morality. The master morality is the morality of the people, who are strong willed people. The ‘good’ is the strong, powerful and the noble, whereas the ‘evil’ is the cowardly, powerless and meek.

His philosophies are more than just controversial and unconventional viewpoints, however; they are extreme and dangerous if taken out of context or misinterpreted. One of Nietzsche’s most notable works, Beyond Good and Evil expresses his views on daily society and the hierarchical classes it holds, the master and the slave. He states that the two are in constant battle

main idea of Nietzsche’s nihilism is to separate from all of one’s values. This basically means to leave all of one’s knowledge behind and start from scratch. This kind of thinking could also be compared to Nietzsche’s “Beyond Good and Evil.” A part of Nietzsche’s “Beyond Good and Evil” is the free spirit of the soul. This means that the mind should never become too attached to one point of view and must often jump from viewpoint to viewpoint. This is similar to Nietzsche’s view of nihilism because

Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil with King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail Are there vulnerable people in Society? Yes, there are vulnerable people in society. Some examples of vulnerable people are: the elderly, uneducated citizens, the mentally handicapped, children, the poor, disabled veterans, women and prisoners. Unfortunately, this is an age-old problem; it is not brand new. How can we help the vulnerable people? We will look at this by comparing Friedrich Nietzsche’s Beyond Young and Evil and A

The roles that religion play within Nietzsche’s vision of a future creation and establishment of world-affirming values is dependent upon the class of the individual. It is found in the various sections of The religious character within Beyond Good and Evil, that religion can be utilized by different classes

Nietzsche was a German philosopher who believed that master morality was the superior morality as opposed to slave morality. He starts in the selection of “In Beyond Good and Evil” by saying “To refrain mutually from injury, from violence, from exploitation and put one’s will on par with that of others: this may result in a certain rough sense in good conduct among individuals when the necessary conditions are given…” Nietzsche explains here that if everyone could just treat each other equally, the world
