Nietzsche’s critique of Judeo-Christian values As perhaps one of the most important pieces of work written by Nietzsche‚ “On the Genealogy of Morality” contains some of his most complex and provocative thoughts on the nature of morality and its origins. It is evident throughout his essays that Nietzsche has a profound discontent with modern society and its values‚ a discontent that Nietzsche attempts to explain through a thorough critique of the modern values that have stemmed from the rise of Judeo-Christianity

Nietzsche on Mind In The Gay Science‚ Friedrich Nietzsche refutes the dogmatic concept of spiritual consciousness and instead insists that “consciousness has developed only under the pressure of the need for communication” (367).

existentialists but 3 of them stand out in the literary world. A cartoon made by Alex Gregory for The New Yorker involved the 3 (Sartre‚ Nietzsche‚ and Kierkegaard).

Anticrist Summery Nietzsche’s readers Nietzsche claimed in the Foreword to have written the book for a very limited readership.

Nietzsche’s theory of “will to power” and “the innocence of becoming”. Does the hypothesis of the will to power successfully “debunk” traditional religion‚ morality‚ and philosophical claims to provide the “disinterested” or “objective” truth? Nietzsche introduced an idea of philosophy that was more than simply a rational groundwork of existence or as the pursuit of an absolute truth. Instead‚ he suggested that philosophy is something to be respected as a personal interpretation of life and all
