Navigating the complex terrain of academia, particularly when it comes to writing a thesis, can be a

daunting task. The journey from conceptualization to completion is often fraught with challenges,
requiring not only intellectual prowess but also dedication, time management, and meticulous
attention to detail. Crafting a thesis goes beyond simply summarizing existing knowledge; it requires
critical analysis, original thought, and the ability to contribute meaningfully to the scholarly discourse.

One of the greatest hurdles in writing a thesis is the sheer magnitude of the undertaking. From
selecting a topic to conducting research, organizing findings, and presenting a coherent argument,
every step demands careful consideration and effort. Moreover, the pressure to deliver a work of
academic excellence can weigh heavily on students, leading to stress and anxiety.

Furthermore, the process of writing a thesis is inherently isolating. It often involves long hours spent
in solitary research, grappling with complex ideas and wrestling with theoretical frameworks. For
many students, this isolation can exacerbate feelings of self-doubt and imposter syndrome, making it
even more challenging to stay focused and motivated.

Given these challenges, it's no wonder that many students seek assistance with their thesis writing
endeavors. Professional guidance and support can make all the difference, providing invaluable
insights, constructive feedback, and expert advice every step of the way.

Good and evil, salvation of the soul and growth has nothing to do with it. As a friend of mine put it,
it is difficult to abide with Nietzsche on this point, to really follow him and take our questioning this
far. But remember: “Every deep thinker is more afraid of being understood than of being
misunderstood.” He’s a tricky man, his prose dances, and it’s tough to document a dancer in still
photographs. And whoever attempts it, even with the best right, but without being OBLIGED to do
so, proves that he is probably not only strong, but also daring beyond measure. It provides aid to the
weak from an excess of power, the source of gifts, never from pity. Please decide if you are willing

veil allowing him enjoyment of the sight of the soul. It is inherently suspicious towards the values of
a Master Morality, and is invariably a morality of utility: industry, happiness, friendship, compassion.
He was proud of having DISCOVERED a new faculty in man, the faculty of synthetic judgment a
priori. And then I read this book, or others like it (Lacan) and I realize that this is just the way things
go for people like me. Not to cleave to a science, though it tempt one with the most valuable
discoveries, apparently specially reserved for us. Not to cleave to a sympathy, be it even for higher
men, into whose peculiar torture and helplessness chance has given us an insight. But, interestingly,
neither slave nor master seem in the least bit preoccupied about the institution of slavery. Strangely
enough, some remarks casually made about the use of women had a ring strikingly similar to those
made by Arthur Schopenhauer in his Studies in Pessimism: The Essays. When he argues, for
example, that men had good reason for not allowing women to speak in church, he isn't making an
argument that women are inferior to men. Nietzsche's writing is throught provoking and often
difficult. Still, I am reluctant to say that he was simply a product of his era (1844 - 1900), not
because it’s inaccurate but because I have grown a little tired of doling out free passes. This man is
not above society, but rather, his own restrictions and limitations. He also reminds us how much of
what we take to be knowledge is normative through and through, and also in danger of crumbling in
a naturalistic worldview. Much that is said about Nietzsche is ridiculously point-missing and amounts
to no more than a nitpicking over details that are peripheral to his system. He never recovered from a
nervous breakdown in 1889 and died eleven years later. Man is both Created and Creator, and so
necessarily should and must suffer; be broken, burned, and reformed, that he might create to
overcome himself. The masterpiece of German prose is therefore with good reason the masterpiece of
its greatest preacher: the BIBLE has hitherto been the best German book. A man who WILLS
commands something within himself which renders obedience, or which he believes renders
obedience. If you don't understand Nietzsche's goals, don't fashion your own for him. 4. It is entirely
possible that you are not the type of person who can identify with Nietzsche on any sort of personal
level. In Slave Morality, The Evil are those who inspire fear. Choose the GOOD solitude, the free,
wanton, lightsome solitude, which also gives you the right still to remain good in any sense
whatsoever. Is there not ground for suspecting that all philosophers, in so far as they have been
dogmatists, have failed to understand women—that the terrible seriousness and clumsy importunity
with which they have usually paid their addresses to Truth, have been unskilled and unseemly
methods for winning a woman. His prose, swift; his sentences, roving; his tone, pugnacious. Whether
it is the wife snuffing out her husband's life or sno.
Good and evil, salvation of the soul and growth has nothing to do with it. Central to his philosophy
is the idea of “life-affirmation,” which involves a questioning of all doctrines that drain life's
expansive energies, however socially prevalent those views might be. Learn more at manifoldapp.org

have happened that such a Will to Truth—a certain extravagant and adventurous pluck, a
metaphysician's ambition of the forlorn hope—has participated therein: that which in the end always
prefers a handful of certainty to a whole cartload of beautiful possibilities; there may even be
puritanical fanatics of conscience, who prefer to put their last trust in a sure nothing, rather than in
an uncertain something. There are books which have an inverse value for the soul and the health
according as the inferior soul and the lower vitality, or the higher and more powerful, make use of

are those dealing with relativism: any theory being only interpretation, even scientific laws, then
there is no lasting and immutable truth. For those who are strong and independent, destined and
trained to command, in whom the judgment and skill of a ruling race is incorporated, religion is an
additional means for overcoming resistance in the exercise of authority—as a bond which binds
rulers and subjects in common, betraying and surrendering to the former the conscience of the latter,
their inmost heart, which would fain escape obedience. As little as the act of birth comes into
consideration in the whole process and procedure of heredity, just as little is being-conscious
OPPOSED to the instinctive in any decisive sense; the greater part of the conscious thinking of a
philosopher is secretly influenced by his instincts, and forced into definite channels. He also reminds
us how much of what we take to be knowledge is normative through and through, and also in danger
of crumbling in a naturalistic worldview. I got a bit stuck on a section where he is just tossing out
little one sentence thoughts. That's what Oedipus should have done, when facing the Sphinx. After
the death of his father, a Lutheran minister, Nietzsche was raised from the age of five by his mother
in a household of women. The man of modern ideas is immeasurably dissatisfied with himself; he
suffers, and his vanity wants him— needs him—to suffer along with others, to feel pity. The cruelty
of intellectual conscience must be able to break or shatter these other wills in order for man to grow.
Nietzsche will offend you. However. 2) People who make a superficial reading and criticize
accordingly. It is this starting point that motivates the epistemological perspectivism and
constructivism which leads to his notoriously radical critiques of foundational metaphysical
concepts. Nietzsche further mocks the Skeptic —the man who doubts everything and will never say
Yes or No, but ever hesitates and has thus lost his will. All the world are brothers and equals—pity is
extended and extendable to everyone. Slave morality is essentially the morality of utility. I also can
see that his work is incredibly influential, and (though I'm not well versed in philosophy) I gather
that it's Nietzsche's influence that led to the more post-moral slant of modern philosophy.Nietzsche
brings forward a lot of excellent ideas, and is admirable in not shying away from controversy. Of
course, this couldn't have fooled anyone actually familiar with Nietzsche's works and ideas, as the
rewrites were in direct contradiction to his previous writings, but it still fooled many. The saint has
always fascinated, because of our historic swings between voluptuousness and asceticism, and the
sense of a great will taking control; the sense that this will must have had or served a Powerful
Purpose in doing so. Some regarding the eternal necessity of slaves to human society to support an
elite. Peripherals such as his virulent misogyny don't, I think, suffice to diminish the value of his key
contributions to philosophy. Their thinking is, in fact, far less a discovery than a re-recognizing, a
remembering, a return and a home-coming to a far-off, ancient common-household of the soul, out of
which those ideas formerly grew: philosophizing is so far a kind of atavism of the highest order. So
far, so much waffle. (Not that Nietzsche doesn’t waffle: because he does). But remember: “Every
deep thinker is more afraid of being understood than of being misunderstood.” He’s a tricky man,

Beyond Good and Evil - Friedrich Nietzsche 978-963-526-791-0 Preface SUPPOSING that Truth is
a woman—what then. Probably a pessimistic suspicion with regard to the entire situation of man will
find expression, perhaps a condemnation of man together with his situation.

him because I was not up to him. But this is an old and everlasting story: what happened in old times
with the Stoics still happens today, as soon as ever a philosophy begins to believe in itself. It is
inherently suspicious towards the values of a Master Morality, and is invariably a morality of utility:
industry, happiness, friendship, compassion. He wanted society to move forward without being
stagnated and held down by the traditional moral order and create a new moral order 'beyond good
and evil'. Nietzsche will offend you. However. 2) People who make a superficial reading and
criticize accordingly. There's definitely a whiff of the emperor's new clothes about this book. In my
opinion, power is nothing but fear for you in other people's eyes. The Old Testament: Passionate and
glorious language, violent— big-souled. A German is almost incapacitated for PRESTO in his
language; consequently also, as may be reasonably inferred, for many of the most delightful and
daring NUANCES of free, free-spirited thought. Does the fact of the knower's embodiment really
mean the dissolution of all foundations. But whoever considers the fundamental impulses of man
with a view to determining how far they may have here acted as INSPIRING GENII (or as demons
and cobolds), will find that they have all practiced philosophy at one time or another, and that each
one of them would have been only too glad to look upon itself as the ultimate end of existence and
the legitimate LORD over all the other impulses. Why NOT? It is nothing more than a moral
prejudice that truth is worth more than semblance; it is, in fact, the worst proved supposition in the
world. Nietzsche's writing is throught provoking and often difficult. Whoever fights monsters should
see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. The author was a strong thinker of the
eighteen hundreds. This book is not supposed to give formally structured arguments. The devil has
the broadest perspectives for God; therefore he keeps so far away from God—the devil being the
most ancient friend of wisdom. Those who are initially offended always seek more ways to find
themselves offended, and read Nietzsche like he was an idiot. So, that being the case, how did he
gain such an unfortunate reputation at all. This book is one of the most requested pdfs that we come
across. Everything that elevates an individual above the herd and intimidates the neighbour is
henceforth called evil. Giorgina Paiella. Brief Biography. German philosopher Born in Prussian

This man is not above society, but rather, his own restrictions and limitations. The noble soul will be
drawn to what are virtues for it: solitude, courage, insight, sympathy. Nietzsche shows here how the
materialist paradigm, by pushing value and meaning out of its reigning world-picture, leaves us with
the existential problem of overcoming nihilism. Now take a breath for a minute and really think
about how deep this criticism really cuts. The New Testament: Loving and tender, mustily
abnegative— small-souled. He was interested in the enhancement of individual and cultural health,
and believed in life, creativity, power, and the realities of the world we live in, rather than those
situated in a world beyond. Locke, Rousseau, and Marx continued this line of thought.
This is especially evident in Plato’s metaphorical identification of the True with the Beautiful and the
Good in Diotima’s speech in the Symposium, where he normatively defines the highest act of
knowing as one that is simultaneously cognitive-theoretical, morally transformative and aesthetically
satisfying. The idea that morality is a tool for managing expectations is intriguing. In fact we made a
long halt at the question as to the origin of this Will—until at last we came to an absolute standstill
before a yet more fundamental question. Mai multe informa?ii despre cookie-uri Refuz cookie-uri

rational motivation for what they do, that we should not attempt to understand them, but should
oppose them without thinking about why. The noble soul will be drawn to what are virtues for it:
solitude, courage, insight, sympathy. Take care, ye philosophers and friends of knowledge, and
beware of martyrdom. It is already a long story; yet it seems as if it were hardly commenced. Then,
during his brief career in the cavalry, he tore several muscles in his side, and while serving as a
medical orderly in the Franco-Prussian war, contracted a number of diseases. Whatever is done from
love always occurs beyond good and evil. It would not have been unreasonable to give in to misery
and bitterness under such conditions, but on those days when Nietzsche felt well enough to write, he
would emerge from his room with renewed passion and vigor, taking long walks in the beauty of the
countryside before returning home to labor in producing a philosophy not of misery, but of joy. The
distance, and as it were the space around man, grows with the strength of his intellectual vision and
insight: his world becomes profounder; new stars, new enigmas, and notions are ever coming into
view. But then our organs themselves would be the work of our organs. This book is not supposed to
give formally structured arguments. All respect to governesses, but is it not time that philosophy
should renounce governess-faith? 35. Tons of the complaints start from the presupposition that
Nietzsche should write according to a goal they have established for him. Contrary to his reputation,
Nietzsche rejected nihilism outright--he thought that if the world does not provide your life with a
clear meaning, it is up to you to go out and find one (or create one), not to wallow and whinge. It is
the business of the very few to be independent; it is a privilege of the strong. If one could observe
the strangely painful, equally coarse and refined comedy of European Christianity with the derisive
and impartial eye of an Epicurean god, I should think one would never cease marvelling and
laughing; does it not actually seem that some single will has ruled over Europe for eighteen centuries
in order to make a SUBLIME ABORTION of man. I definitely relate to Nietzche's idea of the
superior man, and his call for more FREE thinkers, and his condemnation of the common man. Was
it not necessary in the end for men to sacrifice everything comforting, holy, healing, all hope, all
faith in hidden harmonies, in future blessedness and justice. So far, so much waffle. (Not that
Nietzsche doesn’t waffle: because he does). And to speak in all seriousness, I see such new
philosophers beginning to appear. 3. Having kept a sharp eye on philosophers, and having read
between their lines long enough, I now say to myself that the greater part of conscious thinking must
be counted among the Instinctive functions, and it is so even in the case of philosophical thinking;
one has here to learn anew, as one learned anew about heredity and innateness. Nietzsche is saying
herein that the noble soul has reverence for itself. But the struggle against Plato, or—to speak plainer,
and for the people —the struggle against the ecclesiastical oppression of millenniums of Christianity
(FOR CHRISITIANITY IS PLATONISM FOR THE PEOPLE ), produced in Europe a magnificent
tension of soul, such as had not existed anywhere previously; with such a tensely strained bow one
can now aim at the furthest goals. The first reason is that, after his death, his sister took over his
estate, and as she herself was a German nationalist and anti-semite (as was her prominent husband),
she had a number of her brother's papers rewritten to support these execrable positions and then
published them posthumously in his name. But its most stimulating aphorisms are those dealing with
relativism: any theory being only interpretation, even scientific laws, then there is no lasting and
immutable truth. Is not living valuing, preferring, being unjust, being limited, endeavouring to be
different. But when they had given comfort to the sufferers, courage to the oppressed and
despairing, a staff and support to the helpless, and when they had allured from society into convents
and spiritual penitentiaries the broken-hearted and distracted: what else had they to do in order to
work systematically in that fashion, and with a good conscience, for the preservation of all the sick
and suffering, which means, in deed and in truth, to work for the DETERIORATION OF THE
EUROPEAN RACE. And granted that your imperative, living according to Nature, means actually
the same as living according to life —how could you do DIFFERENTLY.
Here we also see: what this divinity lacks is not only a sense of shame—and there are also other
good reasons for conjecturing that in several respects all of the gods could learn from us humans.
Now take a breath for a minute and really think about how deep this criticism really cuts. Every great
philosophy, Nietzsche asserts, is little more than the personal confession. We provide download

taste is for the infinite: we dress in the costumes of all cultures and drink the waters of all times—we

chaos, run towards the past. He held visiting appointments at many American and foreign
universities, including Columbia, Cornell, Heidelberg, Jerusalem, and the Australian National
University; and his books have been translated into Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish.
This criticism would be (this is my interpretation) a logical continuation of the Christian principles of
pity and charity. To live—is not that just endeavouring to be otherwise than this Nature. Scientific
cosmology is no answer, either, for him. Ontologies are constructs that are defined in relation to
embodied perspective-taking. Many have been the days when I felt run down and exhausted, put
upon and disrespected by an impersonal world bent on breaking to its will, and at those times,
Nietzsche's joyful and witty deconstruction of that ridiculous, artificial world has proven an
invaluable comfort to me. A reunion tour in 1999 awoke the urge to return to the studio. They. It
creates value from oneself, not from outside judgements. Whoever fights monsters should see to it
that in the process he does not become a monster. If so, then it is not possible to resolve a conflict
against one own self. This seems to me to be standard sexist nonsense and says nothing interesting
about either women or truth. This book is not supposed to give formally structured arguments.
Nietzsche angers us most when he most successfully shows us how naked we humans are without
our most cherished faiths - whether it be in human nature, natural law, the power of reason, or in a
transcendent being to ground our incomplete, finite, utterly contingent existence into a cosmic
meaning. Just don't make the leap and call him unintelligent or a loose cannon. And whoever
attempts it, even with the best right, but without being OBLIGED to do so, proves that he is
probably not only strong, but also daring beyond measure. So far, so much waffle. (Not that
Nietzsche doesn’t waffle: because he does). Much that Nietzsche does is to undo the Platonification
of Socrates, which misleads us into replacing the fundamental question of self-knowledge with the
question of metaphysics. For if I had not already decided within myself what it is, by what standard
could I determine whether that which is just happening is not perhaps 'willing' or 'feeling'. Loading

Nietzsche (Ph.D., Philology, Leipzig University, 1869) was a German philosopher of the late 19th
century who challenged the foundations of Christianity and traditional morality. They define, in
other words, the parameters within which we can maintain a coherent, life-enhancing perspective on
the real. Read in that light, his comments are actually quite interesting. The big question is, of course,
whether Nietzsche's is the -inevitable- conclusion of the critical tradition that Kant initiated. It
provides aid to the weak from an excess of power, the source of gifts, never from pity. In the former
case they are dangerous, disturbing, unsettling books, in the latter case they are herald-calls which
summon the bravest to THEIR bravery. I also liked some of the aphorisms, not least, “132.
Man is both Created and Creator, and so necessarily should and must suffer; be broken, burned, and
reformed, that he might create to overcome himself. He asks us instead to start by “(s)upposing, that
is, that not just man is the measure of all things.” From this reversed starting point, we ca no longer
assume that knowing the truth will be knowing the good and the beautiful, as Plato did. Nietzsche's
language is so dense and impenetrable (and clearly deliberately so) that it is frustrating to read. You
can go on and disagree, be a Jesuit. But. I accept that I will hurt people, and that people will hurt me,
despite my best efforts. Does your disagreement and sense of entitlement obviate my sense of
reason. Some others about the supposedly European invention of love. ----- QUOTES. This is great
driving music and has a pulse that doesn't quit. Thus, according to slave morality the 'evil' inspire
fear; according to master morality it is precisely the 'good' who inspire fear and want to inspire it,
while the 'bad' man is judged contemptible.” According to Nietzsche, the qualities like the pity, the
kind, and helping hand, the warm heart, patience, industriousness, humility, friendliness come into
honour are the most useful qualities and virtually the only means of enduring the burden of existence
is for poor people, as in slave. But there is no doubt that for the discovery of certain PORTIONS of
truth the wicked and unfortunate are more favourably situated and have a greater likelihood of
success; not to speak of the wicked who are happy—a species about whom moralists are silent. In all
Slave Morality cultures the language tends to bring closer together the words Good and Stupid. They
divined in him—and as it were behind the questionableness of his frail and wretched
appearance—the superior force which wished to test itself by such a subjugation; the strength of
will, in which they recognized their own strength and love of power, and knew how to honour it:
they honoured something in themselves when they honoured the saint. Nietzsche's language is so
dense and impenetrable (and clearly deliberately so) that it is frustrating to read. Instead, Nietzsche
busts the construct time and again to show how ontological principles and epistemological rules are
rightly seen as mere coordinates set by “the perspective optics of (human) life,” which define the
shape the real can take for us. The great epochs of our life come when we gain the courage to
rechristen our evil as what is best in us. Much that is said about Nietzsche is ridiculously point-
missing and amounts to no more than a nitpicking over details that are peripheral to his system.
Perhaps such truth, once purged of our life-affirming constructs, spells out a world that is radically
Other and opposed to life's strivings (an entropic universe, anyone?). I notice that Nietzsche admits
that his misogyny is in fact a terrible weakness of his. I have read philosophical works by other
authors, but none was too complex like Beyond Good and Evil. Born to Prussian Lutherans in 1844
Soon afterward, father succumbed to a brain disease; died in 1849. And it is by no means a pain free
process: the man who is a product of contrary instincts finds himself the hotbed of values which
struggle with one another, and are seldom at peace. There probably are not many men who had more
reason than Nietzsche to feel resentful and miserable: he grew up a sickly child, prone to severe
headaches which often left him literally blind with pain. Because it has been propped up by the
Church for its own reasons(according to Nietzsche) which are not the subject of my review. Or is it
not rather merely a repetition of the question. Some won't like that style, but there is a reason
Nietzsche is renowned for his writing. They cannot limit themselves by such sentiments as generosity
or pity, or like things that deplete their spirit. Mai multe informa?ii despre cookie-uri Refuz cookie-

depressive nihilist, a man who believed in nothing, and an apologist for the atrocities of fascism--but
no description could be further from the truth. Instead of the slave morality that Christianity
imbrases, his philosophy celebrates living in the moment. Much of this book develops thematically
though, and not through premises. It is only with the help of history (NOT through his own personal
experience, therefore) that the scholar succeeds in bringing himself to a respectful seriousness, and to
a certain timid deference in presence of religions; but even when his sentiments have reached the
stage of gratitude towards them, he has not personally advanced one step nearer to that which still
maintains itself as Church or as piety; perhaps even the contrary.
He contextualizes these passage in the introduction to that section, where he explicitly recognizes his
own prejudices as a personal stupidity. Its been a life-long project; with an end goal to alleviation.
Nietzsche considers this just a Pollyannish idea that we have conjured up to make ourselves feel
better. Nietzsche goes on to attack the notion of truth vs. appearance. He boldly proclaims that “It is
nothing more than a moral prejudice that truth is worth more than appearance.” And it is precisely
moral prejudice that Nietzsche is trying to avoid. It was a hard drive as the potholes in Arizona are n.
Our senses dislike the new and prefer the familiar; our instincts, by nature, lead us to prefer the truth
of instincts — Man is much more of an artist than he knows. Certainly she has never allowed herself
to be won; and at present every kind of dogma stands with sad and discouraged mien—IF, indeed, it
stands at all. Let us not be ungrateful to it, although it must certainly be confessed that the worst, the
most tiresome, and the most dangerous of errors hitherto has been a dogmatist error—namely,
Plato's invention of Pure Spirit and the Good in Itself. Filtering through these reviews, I see a lot of
people who are clearly not meant for Nietzsche's writing. Whoever fights monsters should see to it
that in the process he does not become a monster. He hopes the philosophers of the future will be
characterized by such an experimental method, willing to try out any hypothesis, and follow any
argument all the way to its conclusion. Somehow we must find a source of meaning within
subjective activity entirely unmoored from sustaining connection with the external world. The
spectacle of the Tartuffery of old Kant, equally stiff and decent, with which he entices us into the
dialectic by-ways that lead (more correctly mislead) to his categorical imperative — makes us
fastidious ones smile, we who find no small amusement in spying out the subtle tricks of old
moralists and ethical preachers. Nietzsche angers us most when he most successfully shows us how
naked we humans are without our most cherished faiths - whether it be in human nature, natural law,
the power of reason, or in a transcendent being to ground our incomplete, finite, utterly contingent
existence into a cosmic meaning. The idea that morality is a tool for managing expectations is
intriguing. For this same reason, he was also against the Marxism-influenced socialist policies. Above
all, their search cannot be thought of as being undertaken for the good of society. He realizes that if
reason is but the late adaptation of an organism, it loses even that last (albeit relavitized,
perspectivized) transcendental foundation that Kant sought to give it. Much of this book develops
thematically though, and not through premises. Beyond Good and Evil telah memainkan peran

Higher Men hold that to be an end that makes man contemptible and ridiculous. Slave Morality
bears the marked distinction of being a morality of pity, acting for others disinterestedly, ie from
