Friedrich Nietzsche Philosophy: Discussion of Quotes and Ideas of German Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche Friedrich Nietzsche is one of my favorite philosophers, even though he has largely contributed to the popularity of postmodern philosophy. Nietzsche tore down the foundations of metaphysics and philosophy, proclaimed 'God is Dead' but did not offer us any positive alternatives. Nietzsche's noriety rests upon such singular doctrines as the will to power, the eternal recurrence, nihilism and the announcement of God's death, iconoclastic expression, mastery of aphoristic form and a deployment of contradiction and inconsistency.. www.spaceandmotion.com /Philosophy-Friedrich-Nietzsche-Philosopher.htm   (9981 words)

Nietzsche Virtual Seminar: Introduction Questions like "What are the basic tenets of Nietzsche's philosophy?" and "What is Neitzsche's most important philosophy?" seem like they are simple to answer, as they are in the case of many Western thinkers. Nietzsche had to use a vanity press in order to publish most of his works. This is compounded by the fact that few actually read Nietzsche's works themselves, content to read what others say about him (and this is not helped by the dearth of Nietzsche's writings on the Web, which is rapdily becoming many people's primary source of information). infonectar.com /nietzsche/intro.html   (9981 words)

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche Too many interpreters of Nietzsche have failed to see that his "will to power" refers to an inner power, a power to affirm oneself, to be what Emerson meant by "self-reliant." This is the positive, the constructive aspect of Nietzsche's philosophy that complements its nihilistic aspect. Nietzsche is quoted as having written, "When one has not had a good father, one must create one." He did not, however, turn to a "heavenly" father to compensate for the shortcomings of his mother's husband. What Nietzsche and Emerson both saw and Sartre apparently did not is that the creation of the self is something the individual rarely has a hand in; in the great majority of cases, the maker is society, culture, civilization. www.positiveatheism.org /hist/nietzsch.htm   (1336 words)

FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE Friedrich Nietzsche born as the son of a Lutheran pastor and a devout hausfrau. Nietzsche called the composer "Old Minotaur." In History of Western Philosophy Bertrand Russell remarked: "Nietzsche's superman is very like Siegfried, except that he knows Greek." By the end of the decade, Nietzsche became interested in the French enlightenment, which ended in 1878 his friendship with Wagner. In a note entitled 'Anti-Darwin' Nietzsche stated that "man as a species is not progressing." He substituted the ordinary conception of progress for a doctrine of eternal recurrence, and stressed the positive power of heroic suffering. brainmeta.com /personality/nietzsche.php   (1590 words)

Amazon.com: The Portable Nietzsche (Viking Portable Library): Books: Friedrich Nietzsche,Walter Kaufmann Nietzsche is one of the most brilliant of all philosophical writers, and the epigramatic aphoristical and paradoxical character of his writing makes it often seem more a form of poetry than of philosophy. Nietzsche's life after this period was a very choppy one - he left the university, claiming illness, and while this developed later to be a true situation, at the time is was probably academic politics and difficulties fitting in with the establishment he was trying to break. Nietzsche damns, despises and condemns most of the values modern Western nations possess, including, democracy, equality, social justice, pity for the poor and unfortunate etc. I recommend starting with Twilight of the Idols as Nietzsche swiftly and passionately summarizes his values here. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0140150625?v=glance   (2405 words)

Friedrich Nietzsche Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher of the late 19th century who challenged the foundations of traditional morality and Christianity. In the third essay, Nietzsche focusses upon the ascetic ideals typical of the social representatives of art, religion and philosophy, and he offers a particularly scathing critique of the priesthood: the priests are allegedly a group of weak people who shepherd even weaker people as a way to experience power for themselves. Nietzsche refers to this higher mode of being as "superhuman" (übermenschlich), and associates the doctrine of eternal recurrence-- a doctrine for only the healthiest who can love life in its entirety -- with this spiritual standpoint, in relation to which all-too-often downhearted, all-too-commonly-human attitudes stand as a mere bridge to be crossed and overcome. plato.stanford.edu /entries/nietzsche   (4711 words)

The Pillars of Unbelief - Nietzsche The center of Nietzsche's philosophy is always the same: He is as centered on Christ as Augustine was, only he centered on Christ as his enemy. Nietzsche instead exalted tragedy, chaos, disorder and irrationality, symbolized by the god Dionysus, god of growth and drunken orgies. But the fate of Nietzsche's god Dionysus was soon to overtake Nietzsche himself; as Dionysus was literally torn apart by the Titans, supernatural monsters of the underworld, Nietzsche's mind was to be cracked asunder by his own inner Titans. www.catholiceducation.org /articles/civilization/cc0009.html   (1564 words)

Friedrich Nietzsche - Wikiquote Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (October 15, 1844– August 25, 1900) was a German philosopher, whose critiques of contemporary culture, religion, and philosophy centered around a basic question regarding the foundation of values and morality. Translated: The Church has excommunicated German emperors because of their vices: As if a monk or a priest had a say in what someone like Friedrich II [the Staufer, 1194-1250] may demand of himself. Note: It is noted here and here that the phrase was first used by Pindar, and was merely re-used by Nietzsche. en.wikiquote.org /wiki/Friedrich_Nietzsche   (3552 words)

In the third essay, Nietzsche focusses upon the ascetic ideals typical of the social representatives of art, religion and philosophy, and he offers a particularly scathing critique of the priesthood: the priests are allegedly a group of weak people who shepherd even weaker people as a way to experience power for themselves. Alternatively, Nietzsche philosophizes from "the perspective of life" which he regards as "beyond good and evil," and challenges the deeply-entrenched moral idea that exploitation, domination, injury to the weak, destruction and appropriation are universally objectionable behaviors. plato.stanford.edu /entries/nietzsche   (3552 words)

Who is Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE'S father, pastor at Rocken, near Leipzig, was of noble Polish extraction, and it was the son's boast that there was nothing German about him, although his mother and paternal grandmother were of that nationality. Some of these utterances, taken separately, do Nietzsche much less than justice: insolences at the expense of the Divinity, which naturally catch the eye, form but a minute portion of the writings embodying his philosophy, and they are noteworthy chiefly because they reveal his general attitude towards all convention, all authority, whether sacred or secular. There is generally a touch of irony in Nietzsche's references to women, but it would be altogether a delusion to suppose him inimical to the absurdly-styled 'weaker sex.' It is against the modern tendency to sex equality, sex similarity that he raises his voice. www.publicbookshelf.com /public_html/Outline_of_Great_Books_Volume_I/whoisfri_ccb.html   (150 words)
