C1: S2:During his time living in the cave he feels that after his time being alone and gaining knowlege that he wants to return to humanity during this he seems to have a conversation with the sun and tells it that he has gained a lot of knowledge during his time alone,but he wants to move back to society so he can share it with others.

...m to hate the world and soon make the Media Luna into a desert. He is willing to continue his cruelty but he knows that it will ultimately get back to him, it will cost him and most importantly, he will have consequences. The deaths that were caused in his world ruined him, ruined his want to feel emotions or change. The deaths in his childhood and adulthood made him indifferent to the emotions that he was feeling.
Nietzsche: Philosophizing Without Categorizing. How are we to philosophize without "Ism?" For, although defining a person in terms of an Ism is dangerous--both because it encourages identification of the individual with the doctrine and because it denies her the possibility of becoming that, as a human, she is heir to--grouping people according to a doctrine to which they subscribe is a convenient mental shortcut. Although grouping people into verbal boxes entails the danger of eventually seeing all of the boxes as equal, or similar enough to make no difference, the necessity of seeing the totality of a single human being is impossible. And although the qualities of my existence, or anyone else's existence (an individual's isness), are constantly undergoing a process, both conscious and unconscious, of revaluation and change, the change is usually not great enough over short lengths of time to qualify as noticeable.
Enter here The ear splitting crackle from a whip is heard as a master shouts orders to a slave. This to most people would make them comfortable. The idea of slavery is one that is unsettling to most people. This is because most people feel it is unmoral or morally wrong to own another human being. However Nietzsche would not necessarily believe this because he did believe in a morality that fits all. Ethics and morality are completely objective and cannot be one set of rules for everyone. Ethics and morality that are more strictly defined are for the weak, the strong do not need a set of rules because they can take care of themselves.
When one considers the extensive degree to which modern philosophy has invested in scrutinizing the subject of morality, the default reaction would perhaps be one of amenable acceptance. After all, the significance of morality is obvious, and questions such as what constitutes as moral and how exactly does one become moral have been matters of contention for maybe longer than philosophy has even existed. It can be said therefore, that philosophy is steadfast in its fascination with everything morality. It is also precisely this almost fanatic obsession with morality that Nietzsche is so critical of. This is not to say the he would reject the importance or even the necessity of morality altogether. He is concerned however, that
Having an opinion and or a belief is better than not having one at all. A great man such as Elie Wiesel would agree to that statement. He believes standing up for what is right by showing compassion for a fellow human being than for letting good men do nothing while evil triumphs. The message he passes was how indifference is showing the other man he is nothing. He attempts to grasp the audience by personal experiences and historic failures, we need to learn from and also to grow to be the compassionate human being we all are.
...uch that she commands to have a light with her all the time. She begs for the light to bring back the good and the truth in her life. After her suicide Macbeth says, “Out, Out brief candle” (5.5.23), her artificial lightness went out and the darkness killed her.
Each time I read The Awakening, I am drawn to the passage on page 69 where Edna and Madame Ratignolle argue about “the essential” and “the unessential.” Edna tries to explain, “I would give up the unessential; I would give my money, I would give my life for my children; but I wouldn’t give myself.” What most would see as essential—money (you need it for food, clothing, shelter, etc) and life—Edna sees as “unessential.” Edna is speaking of more than that which one needs for physical survival; she would not hesitate to give her life to save the life of one of her children. On the other hand, Edna’s being, her “self,” is something quite different from her physical form.
Friedrich Nietzsche’s On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense represents a deconstruction of the modern epistemological project. Instead of seeking for truth, he suggests that the ultimate truth is that we have to live without such truth, and without a sense of longing for that truth. This revolutionary work of his is divided into two main sections. The first part deals with the question on what is truth? Here he discusses the implication of language to our acquisition of knowledge. The second part deals with the dual nature of man, i.e. the rational and the intuitive. He establishes that neither rational nor intuitive man is ever successful in their pursuit of knowledge due to our illusion of truth. Therefore, Nietzsche concludes that all we can claim to know are interpretations of truth and not truth itself.
'No more that thane of Cawdor doth deceive our bosom interest. - Go, pronounce his present death, and with his former title greet Macbeth.'
my sheath. There rest and let me die”. As we see such a tragic ending,
“…we three meet again in thunder, lighting or in rain?….When the battle’s lost and won….That will be ere the set of sun….There to meet with Macbeth.”
“That which does not kill us makes us stronger”. (Nietzsche, 1888) The saying comes from the “Maxims and Arrows” section of Nietzsche’s book, Twilight of the Idols. I don’t always believe in every quote from a philosopher. I don’t believe in this quote by Nietzsche, because I think hardships’ effects are different for everyone. Yes, in various cases people come out stronger, but there are always those who come out weaker. Although I appreciate the uplifting motivational quote, I do not agree it much like how I wont agree with many other quotes in my philosophy. I have a devotion to share my philosophy covering the independence of “free will” to the imperfection of purpose.
What does Nietzsche’s Mr. Daredevil-Curiosity report, when he metaphorically peers into the workshop within which moral ideals are fabricated (GM I.14)? How convincing are his claims?
First of all, in an emotional aspect, it led to his demise as he lost all feeling and meaning to his life. In his castle, whilst preparing for the battle, Macbeth hears the cry of a women. Seyton enters to inform him that Lady Macbeth has killed herself. “Tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow// Creeps in this petty pace from day to day// To the last syllable of recorded time;...// Out, out, brief candle,// Life’s but a walking shadow” (Ⅴ.Ⅴ, 18-20, 22-23). In learning the death of his wife, Macbeth expresses feelings of pointlessness towards life as a he no longer has anything important worth fighting for. Ultimately, with the lose of his wife and soon to be throne, he becomes depressed as a result of his ambition. To continue, Macbeth was led to his demise
