Nietzsche
Nietzsche was not necessarily an Atheist, but his most famous quote from Thus Spake Zarathustra, “God is Dead,” seems to many to be his notion that there is no God. However, the way in which he writes his philosophy is that every aphorism and epigram must be taken in context. There are many outrageous things that he has said, and been able to justify, in his writings; but taken a simple, single quote, and it would seem that he was merely an enraged madman. Most philosophers are within a “community” of philosophy, which offers them basic “immunity” from scholarly denunciations, insults, or reputability based on the fact that he went insane. Nietzsche, however, seemed to not have this immunity; maybe his death made him fair game? But as Walter Kaufmann put it, “But Max Weber is dead, too; yet he is still treated as a member of the guild. Clearly…Nietzsche wrote too well and was too superior…that removed him from the immunity of the our community.” The most well-known of Nietzsche’s views are that of religion.

It denies the existence of an all-inclusive perspective, which could contain all others, and hence make reality available as it is in itself (refer to the species of man in “Dark City”). Another great field of philosophy that is pursued by Nietzsche is morality and ethics. He examines most thoroughly values of morality by comparison to that of “Master” and “Slave” morality. He compares the two by first scrutinizing the meaning and origin of “Good [gut],” “Bad [schlecht],” and “Evil [böse].” The difference between good and bad was originally descriptive, and amoral; good being the masters, and bad being the slaves, workers, and peons. The contrast between good and evil came when the insurrection of the slaves came to change the morality; the attributes of the masters became vices of the slaves. Humility, charity, submission, and obedience became virtuous. Thus the beginning of “The Genealogy of Morals.” It is here, like in many of his other works, that he speaks on a wide spectrum of id
