FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE LIFE &

WORKS

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) a German philosopher of the late 19th

century who challenged the foundations of Christianity and traditional morality. 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.

Born on October 15,1844. He was named after the Prussian King Friedrich Wihelm IV. Lived in small village Röcken bei Lützen, Leipzig, Germany.

When Nietzsche was nearly 5 years old, his father, Karl Ludwig Nietzsche died from a brain ailment and the death of Nietzsche's 2 yr. old brother, Ludwig Joseph, followed 6 months later. Having been living away from Röcken's church in the house reserved for the pastor and his family left their home after his father’s death.

From the ages of 14 to 19, Nietzsche attended a first-rate boarding school, Schulpforta, located Naumburg.After graduating, Nietzsche entered the University of Bonn in 1864 as a theology and philology student.

He wrote critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy, and science, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony, and aphorism.Nietzsche's key ideas include the "death of God," the Übermensch, the eternal recurrence, the Apollonian and Dionysian dichotomy, perspectivism, and the will to power.

There has been much debate about the cause of Nietzsche's insanity. Some have argued that many of his symptoms were characteristic of an onset of syphilis, though others have rejected this theory. Many, including several famous philosophers, claim Nietzsche's philosophy itself drove him into madness. He spent the final years of his life in the care of his sister, uncommunicative with the rest of the world. He died of pneumonia in 1900.

A CHRONICLE OF NIETZSCHE’S LIFE

Nietzsche became especially influential in French philosophical circles during the 1960's-1980's, when his “God is dead” declaration, his perspectivism, and his emphasis upon power as the real motivator and explanation for people's actions revealed new ways to challenge established authority and launch effective social critique.

A Chronicle in F. Nietzsche’s Life

Nihilismis the belief that all values are baseless

and that nothing can be known or communi-cated.

it comes from the Latin word nihil, or nothing, w/c means not anything, that which does not exist. It appears in the verb “annihilate,” meaning to bring to nothing, to destroy completely.


Nihilismit’s most often associated with Friedrich

Nietzsche who argued that its corrosive effects would eventually destroy all moral, religious, and metaphysical convictions. It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism that condemns existence. A true nihilist would believe in nothing, have no loyalties, and no purpose other than, an impulse to destroy.


F. Nietzsche is most often associated with nihilism. Nietzsche discovers that all values are baseless and that reason is impotent.He wrote:“Nihilism is . . . not only the belief that everything deserves to perish; but one actually puts one’s shoulder to the plough; one destroys” - Will to Power.


Kinds of Nihilism

1. Political Nihilism is associated with the belief that the

destruction of all existing political, social, and religious order is a prerequisite for any future improvement.

2. Ethical/Moral nihilism it rejects the possibility of absolute moral

or ethical values.


Kinds of Nihilism

3. Existential Nihilismis the notion that life has no intrinsic

meaning or value, and it is, no doubt.


Why is it that most philosophers are Anti-Christianity? Philosophy is based on logic, critical thinking while all religions based on theology. Christianity is to believe in Christ, Holy God Father: all these things are theology. Philosophy tries to ask why you have to believe in Christ, why he is the only son of God? etc questions.So, philosophy is different in Religions. Religious don't have any philosophy and have theology.

A Mor Fati and Eternal Recurrence

TRANS VALUATION OF VALUES ON

JESUS & CHRISTIANITY

Transvaluation on Christianity

It was in the 1880s that F. Nietzsche began to speak of “values” - connoting the moral beliefs and attitudes of a society.“Tran valuation of values” was intended as the final revolution against both the classical and Christian virtues. For him “the death of God” meant the death of morality and truth. And there would be no good or evil, no virtue or vice, no truth or falsehood.

The word is used by thousands who have no idea that “values” (strictly speaking) are not the same as “virtues.”

Virtue is from the medieval Latin virtus w/cmeans worth, merit, moral perfection. As used by the Church of the West a virtue is a habitual and firm disposition to do the good.


Eternal Recurrencea doctrine for only the healthiest who

can love life in its entirety — with this spiritual standpoint, in relation to which all-too-often downhearted, all-too-commonly-human attitudes stand as a mere bridge to be crossed and overcome.
