The philosopher, social scientist, historian and revolutionist, and one of the founders of Communism, Karl Marx, is without a doubt the most influential socialist thinker to think above in the 19th century. The fact that Marx provided publication, is the importance that scholars had the honorable opportunity to appreciate Marx's superior intelligence. Marx was born May 5, 1818 in Prussia, and was one of nine children! Marx was raised as an average young boy and student. As Marx got older his very

The nihilism analysis has been prevalent position over the past few years. Its anticipated purpose is to demand questions about the norms made in a philosophical debate. These contain the notion that one must actually suggest and preserve an idea in order to contextualize one’s idea. Tacitly, this philosophy, nihilism, seems new to most people and to philosophy as a whole. Especially from a Western standpoint. But Nietzsche conducts an unapologetic attack on what society has deemed as conformist

Friedrich Nietzsche reconceptualized ethics by questioning the foundations of good and evil. He traced the terms back to what he called the development of “noble morality” and “slave morality.” The word “good” is related to the words the Goths, Greeks, and Celts used to describe themselves, an affirmative definition based on the nobility of life. “Bad” is the term for others in noble morality. However, since the development of “slave morality,” the terms were translated in a negative definition that

It is easy to note that Plato and Nietzsche have very different views from each other. They are philosophers from different decades, with different backgrounds, and have different morals which creates two polar perspectives on life. While Plato is considered a founding philosopher, Nietzsche is a more contemporary philosopher who encouraged radical ideas. Plato lived in Greece, during period when it was going through major changes and incorporating new cultural ideals to blend with its own. Greece

Glover explains that at the end of the century it is hard to be confident about the moral law or about moral progress, he quotes that one reason why there is a decline on morality is because there is a decline in the belief in God (Glover, 2000). “God is dead” is one of Nietzsche famous quotes. Nietzsche is not the first to challenge God authority of morality. Ivan Karamazov was one of the first to question, he question if he was the high power because of all the bad thing that has and was happing

Karl Marx and Frederick Engels wrote “Manifesto of the Communist Party” in 1848 in Brussels. This document was primarily focused on political propaganda that correlated with two classes of society. It was written during a time of Communism and social change (Marx, 1). “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles (Marx, 2).” I believe this statement is saying that class struggles are the reason society has developed to its’ current state. Marx and Engels’s primary

“Nietzsche’s Attempt on Restoring the Innocence of Becoming” Nietzsche makes an attempt on “Restoring the innocence of becoming” by getting rid of “Punishment” and “Guilt”. He makes this claim in his “Error of Free Will”, by saying that, “Nowadays, since we are engaged in a movement in the opposite direction, since we immoralists especially are seeking with all our strength to eliminate the concept of guilt and punishment again and to cleanse psychology, history, nature, social institutions and

During the late 19th century, Friedrich Nietzsche examined the history of morals in his Genealogy of Morals. In his work, Nietzsche reveals the origin of morality, and he goes further to tear down the basis of Christianity and Kant’s Moral Law to show that there is a plurality of conflicting morals in society. Max Weber, who was a philosopher greatly influenced by Nietzsche, writes further on the plurality declaring that there is a polytheism that is the result of many conflicting values. Weber concludes

“Blessed are the forget, for they get the better even of their blunders.” (01:16:01-01:16:39) Howard replies with, “That’s Nietzsche, right?” Although it is Nietzsche, Mary is misinterpreting it, Shaw writes “This quotation from Nietzsche may seem to contradict the notion of the eternal recurrence, but in fact he is attempting here to refocus our minds on the future rather than the past.” (263) Mary later tells Dr. Wierwial that he admires the works he does, and while he is mumbling a reply she

Nietzsche and Morality What Nietzsche means by religion being “anti-Nature” is that the set of moral laws set by religion goes against human instinct and against life. He feels that a set moral code makes humans hostile and cease to live life to the fullness. He also feels that the moral code is corrupted by priests and legislators. Nietzsche also argues that stupidity in uncontrolled passions may have been the reason for the preventative moral code. I think that his argument against the moral
