Good And Evil

Many students of human relations in South Africa would probably agree that an understanding of the policy of racial separation and the general determination of whites not to yield power to the black majority necessitates an awareness of their fears. The importance of this factor can hardly be overlooked, especially if it is defined broadly along the lines suggested by Philip Mason in his succinct study of racial tensions around the globe: There are fears of all kinds… There is the vague and simple fear of something strange and unknown, there is the very intelligible fear of unemployment, and the fear of being outvoted by people whose way of life is quite different. There are fears for the future and memories of fear in the past, fears given an extra edge by class conflict, by a sense of guilt, by sex and conscience… Fear may also act as a catalytic agent, changing the nature of factors previously not acutely malignant, such as the association in metaphor of the ideas of white and black with good and evil… Where the dominant are in the minority they are surely more frightened.1

Note on the Plan of Nietzsche’s «Beyond Good and Evil» is one of the last of Leo Strauss’ works and his only written work devoted to Nietzsche’s philosophy. In the Note Strauss — in his specific manner of writing — consecutively analyses all nine chapters of «Beyond Good and Evil», trying show peculiar qualities of each chapter. Simultaneously he emphasizes some decisive features of Nietzsche’s philosophy in general. Among which one can name: a new concept of truth (as a result of creation and not of contemplation), anti-Platonism (an attempt of abolition or revaluation of Socrates’ legacy), the problem of nature (a transformation of universal nature into individual nature), perception of modern freedom as a transitional state from one kind of slavery to another which will be much greater and harsher. All of these efforts must give to the reader clearer, though, naturally, partisan image of the philosophy of the future, prelude to which this work constitutes.

Good And Evil

Though Mark Twain and Friedrich Nietzsche were aware of each other, they never met and there is no evidence of influence in either direction. Yet the similarities in their thought are strikingly numerous and close. They were both penetrating psychologists who shared Sigmund Freud's interest in the unconscious and his misgiving about the future of civilization. Both regarded Christianity as a leading symptom of the world's madness, manifest in a slavish morality of good and evil and in a widespread subjection to irrational guilt. They were at one in lamenting the pervasive human surrender to varieties of evasion, disavowel, deceit, and self-deception. Other, lesser similarities abound in thought, style, and patterns of literary production.

Important Branch

Here at the outset, I should like to emphasize to my esteemed brothersand sisters that my knowledge of the study of history as element in thecontemporary social sciences is very limited. Yet, by making this admissionbefore you, perhaps I can make my excuses early for aslung too many questions,or for putting into words some of the major difficulties I have with this subject,and perhaps others have as well.Indeed, when we think of this important branch of knowledge a numberof issues immediately come to mind. Perhaps among the most significantof these issues are the following:1. What is the overall meaning of human history? What is itslegithate subject? What are its contents?2. Is there any way to connect, historically, the remarkableabundance of diverse and multiplex events experienced byhumankind all cwer the globe? Haw are trends to be explained,in the light of logical, rational relationships that transcendthe time and place of their occurrence, as well as the speciallimitations of peoples and societies? And, is there any wayto translate what is gained from these events into laws andprinciples that may be applied to the present, or that mayafford a glimpse into the future, or that may explain themeaning of good and evil?3. Is it reasonable for us to think of human history as a logical,ordered process by means of which humankind proceeds fromits beginnig to its end? If so, was the master plan conceivedfrom without? Or does it come about from history itself?Furthermore, is all this beyond the mch of man himself ...

This paper elucidates Buya Hamka’s views on the prospect of humans on the earth while facing persistent challenges in their lives. This study is based on library research that focuses on Hamka’s work Tasfir al-Azhar. Tasfir al-Azhar represents a modern Quranic exegetical work written by a modern Indonesian Muslim scholar. This paper argues that in Hamka’s view, humans’ acts are created by their own since God has bestowed them as a perfect creature. With their sense, humans can weigh and distinguish between good and evil and between right and wrong. To Hamka, people are free to determine their own life. The perfect human is those who have a strong belief and mind to determine the direction of life. Furthermore, the future of humans depends on their will to move forward and know the consequences of their actions. In the Islamic context, as Hamka maintains, perfect human is reflected in the Muslim community who can maintain brotherhood, uphold equality and keep independence.
