Quote from: Mr Psychologist on December 11, 2014, 01:01:36 PMWhat's a tl;dr of nietzche and why should people follow his philosophy?Nietzsche essentially argued that from the decline of religion as a result of the enlightenment, it would lead first to philosophical and political pluralism (which would lead to untold conflict in the 20th Century (bear in mind he died in 1900)), and then finally to nihilism which we'd have to face. There's a lot of his philosophy, but it essentially revolves around three focal points. The first is that there exists a natural hierarchy among individuals (not races, or nationalities) which leads to there being "higher men" or Ubermensch who would form a new aristocracy to guide humanity. The second is the idea that our current iterations of morality - namely Judeo-Christian morality - are incredibly harmful to the human condition, and promoted behaviours and emotions which were detrimental to the flourishing of humans and, in particular, higher men. Thirdly, Nietzsche thought that the legacy of the Enlightenment was extra-rational, which removed emotion and passion from a position of importance in the human character and led us to reject our aesthetic sides; in essence, he thought high culture could replace religion, and serve to unite the community under this new aristocracy.
The slaves were important i the ancient times for the economy. The difference between slaves and their master was obvious.During the feudal times the property owners had the higher grounds, and the farmers that didn't own their own land were the low class of society.In the capitalistic society, the factory owners made profits out of exploiting the poor workers.The future Socialistic society would be completely classless, which wouldn't put a higher class, and a lower class on anyone.
