During his lifetime he published many masterpiece books like The Birth of Tragedy, The Gay Science, Beyond Good and Evil, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Nietzsche was an existentialist philosopher. Extentialism is all about an individual. Social institutions such as religion traditionally impose values on people who accept these values as inherently

mankind’s break away from faith into a new rule of chaos. In Book 5 of The Gay Science, Nietzsche establishes that “God is dead”, meaning that modern Europe has abandoned religion in favor of rationality and science (Nietzsche 279). From this death, the birth of a ‘new’ infinite blossoms in which the world is open to an unlimited amount of interpretations that do not rely on the solid foundations of faith in religion or science. However, in contrast to the other philosophers of his age such as Immanuel

Gay marriage is one of the most debated and controversial issues in today’s society. Everyone has his or her opinions on gay marriage, whether it is acceptable or should not be allowed. According to The Washington post, “59 percent say they support same-sex marriage while 34 percent are opposed”(Craighil, P., & Clement).

is free speech to a liberal science system? Free speech is vital to the advancement of a liberal science system. As Rauch mentions the goal of liberal science is to seek out truth, truth can only be brought out through unregulated discussion. Everyone has different ideas and ways of thinking.

Over the last several decades, gay rights have been a growing topic in the public and in the court rooms. Recently, the debate about gays having the right or ability to parent has become a hot topic, due to the expanding gay community. There are typically two stances taken on the topic of gay parenting: it’s wrong and should be illegal or it’s normal and should be legal. While the norms, stereotypes and debates about gay parenting have varied over the years, today there seems to be a positive consensus
