This piece of work will try to find the answer to the question ‘In Nietzsche’s first essay in the Genealogy of Morals, does he give a clear idea of what good and bad truly are and what his opinion of those ideas is’. It will give a brief overview of his first essay, it will also go into greater detail of what he claims good and bad truly are, and finally look at what he is trying to prove with this argument. It will look at his background in order to see if and how that has influenced his work and

Both, Friedrich Nietzsche and the Buddha, at least at the level of conventional truth, look at the life and the world as largely nihilistic and unsatisfying, and search for a solution to the meaninglessness of their respective cultural situations by turning within and advocating a transformation of our inner forces and of our outlook on the world. The major difference between Nietzsche and Buddhism, however, lies in the role of the will in nihilism and its overcoming. For the Buddha, only by cutting

Throughout this semester, I have learned quite a lot about several philosophers. Some who I found interesting, compelling, mediocre, or boring. As Nietzsche once said, “Plato is boring.” To steer back to the topic, there are philosophers in my opinion who revealed wisdom in their reasoning of their theories. Also, there are some philosophers’ theories that have an absence of wisdom, which only in the end, would only add more problems to society. The philosophers that I believed had reasoning in their

an economic system where the government owns the means of production, and is one where there is no private ownership because it is under the control of the communities or the state. Since its proposal in 1848 by German Philosophers, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, in their book, “The Communist Manifesto”, there are many who have been influenced by the writings of Marx and Engels. This has led to many revolutions and establishments of governments with the “communist ideals” of peace, solidarity, and

From the ages of 14 to 19 (1858–1864), Nietzsche attended a first-rate boarding school, Schulpforta, located about 4km from his home in Naumburg, where he prepared for university studies. The school's rigid educational atmosphere was reflected in its long history as a former Cistercian monastery (1137–1540), with buildings that included a 12th century Romanesque chapel and a 13th century Gothic church. At Schulpforta — a school whose alumnae included the German Idealist philosopher, Johann Gottlieb

The author of the Manifesto was a Bhilosopher from German named Karl Marx. The Manifesto “explains the principles of communism.” (Communism) Communism has been around “since ancient Greece, and it is still around today,” which forces the United States to try to use a policy to try to contain communism, because of their fear that “communism will spread” to weaker and smaller countries that have or are trying to get a Democracy. (Communism) The Manifesto was “written by Marx with some help from Engels”

marked with a big red “X”, not only does the herd outcast it but it is also the likely candidate to be the lion’s meal. Being in a herd seems beneficial for survival but it comes with costs that may not be worth it. In Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche, Zarathustra describes being part of a herd, along with many other actions, as life-denying. His concerns are ethics and living well. In the prologue, Nietzsche tells the story of how Zarathustra went up a mountain and spent ten years there

So to begin with the “Hero’s” Journey. I believe it’s a way of literature that is very common and easily appealed to laymen yet in reality, It doesn’t exist kind of, the entire idea of the hero’s journey seems to revolve around a sense of objective moral understanding insofar that it follows an apparent “Hero” with an “Abyss” often seen as the ultimate personal evil that must be overcome and defeated. However, morality doesn’t exist in the way they present it and holds no weight in our lives at all

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
