Birds Of Prey Slave Revolt
1,044 wordsThe character of Smerdyakov in Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov appears to me to epitomize Nietzsche's idea of the slave revolt. With a closer look at the book we see that Smerdyakov appears to have been plotting throughout the entire story. Upon a close analysis we see that he had both a reason and a means for revenge against almost all of the other characters. We also see that he comes out ahead. Much like Nietzsche's slave revolt, where there is an inversion of power, and the weakling comes ou...

Britain And France North Africa
1,049 wordsThe racist and fascist ideals of Nazism have long claimed to be based on and supported by the writings of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. In actuality however, Nietzsche's ideas could not be more opposed to those of the Nazis. The blatant racism, oppression, and mass mentality of the National Socialists in no way fits with Nietzsche's writings or ideals. Knowing this, it is difficult to understand how Adolf Hitler managed to warp Nietzsche's individualistic, anti-racist, and anti-Ger...

Tao Te Ching Good And Evil
1,470 wordsAs I read more of Nietzsche and Loa Tzu, there is an increasing similarity between the basic structures of both philosophical hypotheses than there is difference. Though the outcomes differ, and even the rational of both mens thought process are plotted differently, and suggest drastically different ideal lifestyles, both works, the Tao Te Ching and the Will to Power argue for first an acceptance of an immoral world, a world with no true good nor evil, nor up nor down, but rather just man as he ...

Means To An End Make The Reader
951 wordsIn Twilight of the Idols Nietzsche discusses his views on Christianity, other philosophers, and authors of his time. Nietzsche's main focus, however, is on Christianity and how its actions and views are means to an end. He uses eloquent diction that sometimes loses the reader (he makes up for his articulate word usage with elementary sentences which describe his views very efficiently) along with syntax which is very informal - for the time - to describe his views on subjects quite exquisitely. ...

Love At First Sight Fall In Love
2,200 words... ely better than golf, we can say that my history with the former should make me more inclined to love it than the latter. It may be the case that running has been a source of stress relief while golf causes it or I may have met my girlfriend at a race and not on the driving range. The same applies to Garcia Marquez and Tolstoy there is a set of sense histories that makes me more favorable toward Latin American literature than Russian.

Wolfgang Von Goethe Age Of Twenty
1,242 wordsRomanticism began in Europe in the eighteenth century as an artistic and intellectual movement. It was characterized by a heightened interest in nature, emphasis on the individuals expression of emotion and imagination, departure from the attitudes and forms of classicism, and rebellion against established social rules and conventions. This changed the way people thought and expressed themselves and the way they lived, both socially and politically. Romanticism was a movement by many strong-will...

Fallen Angels William Golding
724 wordsWhen William Golding wrote The Lord of the Flies, we have no idea what he intended to write about. However, either through his ability to interweave many themes and concepts into one story, or because too many people have tried to analyze it, there are three that seem to be echoed throughout the book and supported at every turn. These are: a demonstration of Frederick Nietzsche's ideas and philosophies, an allegory of the Christian stories and figures, and an allegory of the Cold War. The first ...

While some of the ideas the philosophers in this book had did not appeal to me, I thought it is good to have these ideas for the good of the society. Some of these ideas are cr...

God Is Dead Modern Society

In 1989 he made himself famous by opining that, with the breaching of the Berlin Wall, history had ended.
