Nietzsche’s Philosophy: Nihilism, Power, and the Overman
Nietzsche’s Critique of Culture
Nietzsche: Giving up on the established culture of the fiercest critics of the approaches the century. A second-century philosopher in the second half of this century. His main concern about the social value of conventional and bourgeois Christian puritanical flip, and the removal of the hypocrisy of the costume. Their attitude, vitalist idealism, and positivism can be understood as a reaction against the rationalist. Vitalism is characterized as a confirmation of the essential reality of life and irrationality. It emphasizes the emotional aspects of life and rejects the reasoning ability to detect these aspects, and is in favor of some other methods and knowledge. Vitalism had a number of romantic influences, among other things, the following ideas have been realized: that human history is not an absolute truth, that universal values do not exist, that human beings have created their freedom, the concept of intuition in favor of a lower burden of philosophizing, a way, and love for the darker aspects of life. Pessimism, open melancholy, and an attitude against the mechanism of the natural sciences are prevalent. Finally, how significant is the personification of Nietzsche as a romantic hero in the same: wild, marginal, tragic, and passionate, mythifying his unique destiny. On the other hand, one must take into account the influence of positivism, metaphysics, and religion. Based on the thoughts of the time, he rejected that vision of the world. This leads to the disappearance of values and, therefore, extends to nihilism. Awareness of the historical process of assimilating the philosophy of Nietzsche and nihilism in favor of development is proposed should be equivalent to a human child, freed from the burden of metaphysics, the creation of simulations for the child to play.
Nietzsche’s Thought on Morality and Values
Thought: Moral, religious, political, and philosophical beliefs and values, the bases of modernity, when they go under, Nietzsche’s strongest program is to form a new universe in the spirit. Often misunderstood, Nietzsche’s subjectivity was to create a new, distinct human culture, and the creative spirit of a free hand would remodel the exterior and interior life. He says that human beings should be passed that despicable, and the instinct to deny the body, soul, and spirit are inventions, to kill the body, sexuality, and equate it with filth. The will to power is the development of self, self-love, sharp, all of these are associated with evil. On the other hand, to the general sense of decline, the main value will be considered. The only truth is that the decadent, but does not know the value of humanity. These high human characteristics are not supported by the rule, a man above the desire for power is constantly wanting to be dominated by, and believes in the eternal return. In the latter, he does not value life in all of them, without thinking about it, it is not up to the senseless overman.
Contradictions and Influences
Months after, the most read philosophers of this thinking are full of contradiction, but the same until there is no contradiction between the philosophy and the defender. In addition, the unsystematic mental discomfort and suffering, said it may be only the result of some excellent writing madness. That is why, psychoanalysis, existentialism, anarchism, and the influence of the Nazis thought. God speaks to the lack of freedom and anti-Jewish aphorisms by the philosopher will be violent and will indicate contempt for the weak, Germanic culture, devotion to others, and sometimes contrary to the claim. However, The Birth of Tragedy, Human, All Too Human, The Gay Science, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, The Antichrist, Ecce Homo… reflection will encourage us to work.
