Beyond Good and Evil: Nietzsches Philosophy on Good and Evil Essay exa
Friedrich Nietzsche was a philosopher in the 1800s. His work has since influenced, impacted, and brought forth new questions for numerous philosophers to follow. One of Nietzsches famous writings Beyond Good and Evil expresses his views on society and the cardinal different classes it holds, slave and master. He expresses his belief that the two are in warfare with one another, the strong (master) fighting for the will to power, while the weak (slave) tries to pull the master down to their level using underground forms of revenge. Nietzsche believed the slave morality was one that included humility, obedience, and submission, and was the destructive woof and attribute of Christianity, while the master morality was full of arrogance and pride and that power of human himself is what needs to be attained. Nietzsche sought to prove that the master morality was the only true way to success in life and this was to come at any(prenominal) cost, even the cost of another weaker individu al. Nietzsches theories do not hold true against the ultimate truth of the Bible, where in which all has been tried and proven true, clock and time again. Master MoralityTo Nietzsche the master morality was the attribute of the ultimate race, a race not of color or ethnicity, but one that fought for power. The master were those who by force and power sought after what was good, which included anything that would be helpful. Not concerning them selves with society as a whole, only with rising to power and the obligation of self. The masters he believed were to dominate the slaves and the slaves should just willingly submit. The master morality was often attributed with qualities such as power, nobility, and independence, placing them beyond good and evil. Striving t... ...God came to give us life but that the enemy comes to kill steal and destroy, so it appears in Nietzsches case the enemy won. God made His choices clear and told us what choice to make in Deuteronomy 3019 where He says chose Him, choose life Choosing life is choosing Gods way, and His way includes nothing of the master morality Nietzsche claimed so much passion about. I am however saddened about the choice Nietzsche made and angry about the deception of the devil, but I am glad about one thing, that is that I do not have to choose a master or slave morality, rather I choose God, who is the writer and perfector of my faith and we be the Ruler of me and my house for evermore.
