I so wasn’t ready for the papers people are writing in Nietzsche’s class. Topics of popular choice are:<\/p>\n
1) Christianity and how it has perverted Christ’s views.
\n2) The Herd and all the wonderful understanding that can come from such a topic…
\n3) The Ubermensche… or as I like to jest with the people who chose the topic, “The Ubermensche, and why I\u2019m not one even though I choose this topic to make it seem like I were”<\/p>\n
Boring choices eh? I’m on my second report right now destroying Christianity. It\u2019s a blast… really it is.. don’t you see how pleased I am? *sarcasm falls short in typeface*<\/p>\n
Honestly, I wish people would abandon the Nietzsche -> Christian link completely. It is highly overused.. In fact, I\u2019ve noticed a general trend in my class. No one is attacking Nietzsche’s views. The smartest person I\u2019ve seen in class is simply doing a translation of another philosopher’s work. I say simply, but I mean non-philosophical essay consisting of a translation. Is that good or bad? neither. I’m excited about his essay, I just wish more people were taking contrary views to Nietzsche. Perhaps approaching it from a point of how much bullshit Nietzsche is. Maybe I am in the minority with this viewpoint. <\/p>\n
Don’t get me wrong I appreciate a lot of what I have learned about Nietzsche. I was too harsh on him before I took this class. I obviously knew very little about him, which is disconcerting because I took a class on him earlier. I still believe though that his arguments are fundamentally flawed. Some are good. His critique of language, awesome. His critique of morality, interesting yet flawed. Eternal recurrence, bullshit. Ubermensche, nice idea and maybe in a physical evolutionary sense, but not a good use for value theory. Recognizing the will to power? priceless. I appreciate his evaluation of the will to power. It is his most useful treatise aside from the critique of language. But both awesome doctrines contradict each other thereby producing a kind of failure ultimately. <\/p>\n
So in the end my paper on morality in the Nietzsche sense is going to end up being a destruction of Nietzsche’s moral claims. Yes I will make appeals that might work but I will also highlight objections that must arise. <\/p>\n
oh well speaking of let me get back to doing just that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
