Friedrich Nietzsche
German
1844-1900
-The Horizon - every society has a moral horizon , people create horizons for society (eg. Jesus)
-All horizons are in constant flux , subject to change, only perspectives
-Once human has realized he is the creator of moral horizon, values, he can choose whatever values are best
-Christianity= slave morality, encourages followers to be weak, sensitive, help others
-Chriatian faith and other religions make people slave to their morals
-Master morality (supported be Nietzsche) encourages humans to be unequals, warriors, rise above the weak- opposite to that of religion slave mmoralities
-master morality causes followers to blindly follow God and abandon their own instincts
-Nietzsche dislikes socialism, democracy, communism, because they're all based on equality
-Under religion drive to become great is evil. This forces man to turn on himself since his instinctive desires are considered to be evil under religious doctrine
For Christianity:
-Good: meek, timid, passive
-Bad: Strong, assertive, powerful
-Christianity suppresses man's will to power
-death of God destroys morals, allows freedom bexisae humans are not resticed by any moral truths
-Ubermensch/superman is the ultimate form of man, philosopher, poet, actualizes himself, creates himself without following moral/ societal norms
-Ubermensch can't lead because he risks becoming a god
-Nietzsche invites war, apocalypse, some of his philosophy was used (abused) by Hitler, fascism
