Nietzsche


            Nietzsche claims that we live in an historical age that is " beyond good and evil." We are no longer restricted or limited by moral authorities and hence possess a new freedom and creativity. Citing works we have covered, what is the political promise and danger arising from the teaching that morality is a myth? Does the realization that we are "beyond good and evil" benefit and fulfill man? Why or Why not? If not, what else is necessary? Finally, given the readings, are you hopeful about the future? Why?.

             Nietzsche believes that no history can be defined and claims that there is no such thing as something that has no history. Through examining Nietzsche it becomes evident that searching for the definition of species is not only futile but also unnecessary. This definition is something that he believes changes over time, without any permanent lasting and stable reality. Unlike Hobbes Nietzsche believed that our value systems are culturally determined, they arise not from conventional folk wisdom. His relationship with the truth has nothing to do with the meaning of a moral system. Humans described by Nietzsche are like human culture and have a history. We have a personal history were we ourselves cannot be defined, we continue to be a constant process of becoming, and or transcending the person we have been into something new. Many might feel that we are defined by some essential quality when in fact we are constantly being defined by other factors. Nietzshe states that humans believe they must create their own system or become enslaved by another man's system. The lives of the human must be lived in solitude from others, we choose to create our own horizon. In comparison with Marx, he believes that the material forces of production and division of labor control the process of transformation of the individual self and ideas. This is said to be the logic behind the creation of history through Marx.
