The Veil

This article from the library research using the content analysis method explores the image of entrepreneurs in general and the description of the 'superman' or 'űbermensch' according to the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The results of this literary research show that the characteristics of 'superhuman' according to Nietzsche match the picture of the image of businessmen and entrepreneurs in the economy. An entrepreneur is a person who has the ability and desire to explore, establish, and manage resources for profit. What is needed for an entrepreneur is an innovative, creative, visionary, autonomous, free attitude, a passion to excel, dare to overcome ‘his own self', be pro-active, and look for new ways of doing business, new products, and new services. This kind of character fits the image of 'superman' according to Nietzsche's view, namely humans who have the will to power, are brave, creative, active, confident, never satisfied with themselves, overcome themselves and the world, are free, and are creators of their own values. So from Nietzsche's thinking about 'superman', entrepreneurs can learn about creative-destruction, self-autonomy, courage to overcome challenges, consciousness of success and failure in business as a school of life, creative, and innovative. The entrepreneur's business innovation is only possible if he dares to attack "idols", convenience, and all that is established. Like a philosopher today, entrepreneurs are people who open the veil and whip up economic growth. Therefore, Nietzsche's contribution to superman image is not only necessary but also important and relevant for understanding entrepreneurship. In line with Nietzsche's thinking, business and entrepreneurship are not only dealing with economic problems but must be seen as a part of the struggle for life; a field of 'war' that must be won. Űbermensch is a hero who won the struggle to be human. Business is a way of 'being' as a human being.Artikel hasil penelitian kepustakaan dengan menggunakan metode analisis isi ini mengeksplorasi citra wirausahawan pada umumnya dan gambaran tentang ‘manusia super’ atau ‘űbermensch’ menurut filsuf Jerman Friedrich Nietzsche. Hasil penelitian literer ini memperlihatkan bahwa karakteristik ‘manusia super’ menurut Nietzsche cocok dengan gambaran tentang citra para pebisnis dan wirausahawan dalam ekonomi. Wirausahawan adalah orang yang memiliki kemampuan dan keinginan untuk mengeksplorasi, mendirikan, mengelola sumber daya untuk meraih keuntungan. Yang diperlukan bagi seorang wirausahawan adalah sikap inovatif, kreatif, visioner, otonom, bebas, hasrat untuk berprestasi, berani mengatasi ‘diri sendiri’, pro-aktif, dan mencari cara baru dalam menjalankan bisnis, produk baru, dan jasa baru. Karakter semacam ini cocok dengan citra ‘manusia super’ menurut pandangan Nietzsche yakni manusia yang memiliki kehendak untuk berkuasa, berani, kreatif, aktif, percaya diri, tidak pernah puas dengan diri sendiri, mengatasi diri sendiri dan dunia, bebas, serta pencipta nilainya sendiri. Maka dari pemikiran Nietzsche tentang ‘manusia super’, wirausahaan bisa belajar tentang destruksi-kreatif, otonomi diri, berani mengatasi tantangan, kesadaran bahwa sukses dan gagal dalam bisnis sebagai sekolah kehidupan, kreatif, serta inovatif. Inovasi bisnis para wirausahawan hanya mungkin bila ia berani menyerang "berhala", kenyamanan, dan segala hal yang mapan. Laksana seorang filsuf zaman ini wirausahawan adalah orang yang menyibak tabir dan melecut pertumbuhan ekonomi. Maka sumbangan pemikiran Nietzsche tentang űbermensch tidak hanya perlu melainkan juga penting dan relevan  untuk memahami kewirausahaan. Sejalan dengan pemikiran Nietzsche, bisnis dan wirausaha bukan hanya berurusan dengan persoalan ekonomi melainkan harus dilihat sebagai bagian dari perjuangan hidup; ladang ‘peperangan’ yang harus dimenangkan. Űbermensch adalah pahlawan yang memenangkan perjuangan menjadi diri manusia sendiri. Bisnis harus dilihat sebagai cara manusia ‘mengada’.

The article deals with the problem of Nikolai Berdyaev’s reception and interpretation of the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. We attempt to reconstruct Berdyaev’s attitude to the creative heritage of the great German philosopher. The phenomenon of Nietzsche was mainly perceived by the Russian philosophy of the early 20th century in a religious context. For Berdyaev himself, the personality of Nietzsche became one of the starting points for comprehending the existential dialectic of human destiny in the world historical process. In Nietzsche’s works, Berdyaev was first of all captivated by the eschatological theme the philosopher addressed, his striving for the end and the limit. Berdyaev called Nietzsche the greatest phenomenon of modern history, dialectically completing the humanistic anthropology of the West. The Russian philosopher viewed Nietzsche as the forerunner of a new religious anthropology, a religious prophet of the West, making a return to the old European humanism no longer possible. Berdyaev was convinced of the need to overcome and internalize the spiritual experience of Nietzsche. The latter opens up the prospect of transition to a new anthropological era, in which human existence must be justified by creativity. Berdyaev viewed creativity as a new religious revelation of Christianity, not manifested in patristic tradition and historical Christianity. In creative acts, man overcomes objectification as a fallen state of the world. The article examines the key ideas of Nietzsche’s philosophy through the prism of religious existentialism and personalism of Berdyaev. Berdyaev’s attitude to Nietzsche was ambivalent: on the one hand, he highly appreciated how radically the German philosopher formulated the problem of a person’s creativity; on the other hand, he viewed the anti-Christian concept of the superman, leading to human godhood, as absolutely unacceptable for Russian religious philosophy and Christianity. Berdyaev assessed the new revelation of Nietzsche about the superman and the will to power as false and demonic, radically contradicting the foundations of Christian anthropology about man and the religious ethics of creativity.

En la obra novelística y ensayística de Juan Benet se puede detectar numerosas intertextualidades del filósofo alemán Friedrich Nietzsche que no han sido todavía adecuadamente investigadas. Entre los temas nietzscheanos que penetran la obra de Benet, los más importantes son la defensa del irracionalismo como vía de conocimiento que ayuda a explicar mejor la naturaleza de lo real, la oposición a sistemas epistemológicos cerrados, la defensa del fragmentarismo, del nihilismo, del fatalismo, el sentido de lo trágico que está presente en sus obras y en sus personajes, la dialéctica entre apolíneos y dionisiacos, el eterno retorno, la parodia del superhombre, la presencia de un sujeto descentrado por la fatalidad y por la ruina, la voluntad de poder durante la Guerra Civil española, y la preponderancia del estilo sobre el argumento. Se ofrecerán numerosos ejemplos desde su obra regionata y desde su ensayo. In the novelistic and essayistic works of Juan Benet, one can detect numerous intertextualities of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche that have not yet been adequately researched.

Straipsnyje aptariamos Friedricho Nietzsche’s ir Michelio Foucault genealogijos sampratos. Teigiama, kad genealogija gilinasi į istoriją ne dėl įvykių, mūšių ir karų aprašymo, bet dėl diskursyvių režimų ir praktikų, kurios formuoja mūsų tapatybę. Glaudus pažinimo/tiesos bei galios saitas yra esminis tiek Nietzsche’s, tiek Foucault genealogijai. Foucault dispositive (suprantamumo režimas) yra viena iš esminių sąvokų tiek istoriškumo sampratai, tiek studijuojant pačią istoriją. Nyčiška valios galiai idėja transformuojama į pažinimo tipais grindžiamą ir besiremiančią galios santykių strategijų idėją. Daroma išvada, jog Foucault genealogija redukuoja prasmę į galios santykius. Taip pat teigiama, kad Foucault sampratoje istorija yra pažini ne dėl jos vidinio prasmingumo, bet dėl to, jog žinios ir diskursyvios praktikos, būdamos esminės istorijos vyksmo procesui, yra suvokiamos kaip taktikos ir strategijos.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: genealogija, istorijos filosofija, galia, diskursas.Power, History and Genealogy: Friedrich Nietzsche and Michel FoucaultAndrius Bielskis SummaryThe essay explores Friedrich Nietzsche’s and Michel Foucault’s accounts of genealogy. It argues that genealogy sees human history not in terms of events, battles and wars (i.e. through empirical facts), but in terms of discursive regimes and practices which form our subjectivity. The link between knowledge/truth and power plays crucial role in both Nietzsche’s and Foucault’s accounts of genealogy. Foucault’s notion of dispositive (the regime of intelligibility) serves as a key concept in his approach to history. The Nietzschean idea of the will to power is transformed into the idea of strategies of relations of forces supporting and supported by types of knowledge. The essay concludes that Foucault’s genealogy reduces meaning to power relations. It argues that in Foucault’s thought human history is intelligible not because of its inner meaning, but because knowledge and discourses, which play a key role in human history, are understood in terms of tactics and strategies.Keywords: genealogy, philosophy of history, power, discourse.

And Task

This chapter discusses Friedrich Nietzsche and how he views like as will. In contrast to the Idealist notion of the human imposition of value upon life, Nietzsche makes life not only the highest value but understands it as a process of valuation. Moreover, since valuation is conceived as the assertion of self against the assertion of countless other selves, Nietzsche's vitalism is intrinsically antagonistic and heterogeneous. For Nietzsche, life is a struggle down to the smallest cell, and formation (Bildung) is also deformation and overcoming, including the overcoming of previous forms of self. Under the rubric of the will-to-power, Nietzsche thus thinks of life as a force that both produces and exceeds all conceptual distinctions and oppositions; life becomes a problem and task that is at once biological and political, aesthetic and ethical, theoretical and practical.

The Will

This study aims at investigating the concepts of success and power, as depicted by F. Scott Fitzgerald in The Beautiful and Damned (2009). Cultural change motivates individuals to work harder to achieve success, which in turn makes them influential. The study reveals that the concepts of success and power are controversial, as their means vary from one theorist to another.  Waldo Emerson, for example, believes that success is connected to happiness.  He, therefore, lists down features that characterize successful people. To succeed, one must learn to follow their desires, an argument that is expounded by the ideology of the American Dream.  Friedrich Nietzsche, however, explains that individuals are motivated to lead due to the fact that power brings about the superman. To achieve the status of the superman, Nietzsche believes that individuals develop the will to power and are able to influence others (Nietzsche, 1968). Fitzgerald, on the other hand, makes it clear that power leads to liberty. The novel provides a deep analysis of the quest for power and success. The main characters are Gloria, Joseph, and Anthony who helps to demonstrate the quest for success and power. Richard Caramel is also a character whose role explains the pursuit of true happiness. He is depicted as powerful because he influences the society through his writings. He has a strong determination to be a writer, which motivates him to work hard and to seek further success.

This research proposal deals with a possible relationship between the Platonic concept of acrasia and the nietzschean concept of will to power. What is specific to the constitution of both terms, has a common root, does not have a conduct of different use, only a philosophical position on the implementation of such an approach, that is, a matter of perspective. A research will be divided into different moments, in order to validate a conjecture proposal. In the first instance, export Plato's panoramic mode and understanding of the problem of acrasia as an anomaly that would lead to an excess and therefore harmful conduct for individuals and society. In a second moment, expose Nietzsche's understanding of the will to power, as constituted by himself and with life value, seeking to show a possible choice between the two terms, correlating them with a human conduct and proposing a similarity between the two. thoughts of Plato and Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900).

The Will

Scholarly analysis of the writings on architecture of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) has largely focused on passages in Twilight of the Idols where he claims that ‘Architecture is a kind of eloquence of power in forms – now persuading, even flattering, now only commanding.’1 Yet, considering Nietzsche’s theory of the will-to-power – that an innate drive towards power, might, and self-overcoming is the dominant force of existence – architecture gets interpreted in this passage as he would likely have interpreted sculpture. Any recognition of the social, political, physical, and psychological accommodations of architecture are absent. However, in a passage in Joyful Wisdom entitled ‘Architecture for the Perceptive’, Nietzsche wrote of architecture as a carefully crafted space to inhabit. This discussion of architecture as a lived space has received considerably less attention.

Genealogy Of Morals

Friedrich Nietzsche, the son of a Lutheran minister, was a German philologist, philosopher, and iconoclast. He is best known for his controversial but powerful reevaluation of traditional Western morality, epistemology, and theology. His early academic career was devoted to philology, and he secured a professorship at Basel University at the age of twenty-four despite having failed to obtain his doctorate at Leipzig. He obtained most of his philosophical training outside of his speciality. His principle resources were Arthur Schopenhauer’s The World as Will and Representation, followed by Richard Wagner’s revolutionary music. Although he admired Schopenhauer’s stark premise that existence was a chaotic affair guided by a will to life, Nietzsche later replaced Schopenhauer’s embrace of ascetic "will-less-ness" as the only response to suffering with the "will to power": the idea that man "will rather will nothingness than not will" (Genealogy of Morals, III: sec. 1; emphasis in the original). His first book was The Birth of Tragedy out of the Spirit of Music (1872; title altered in subsequent editions), which explained Greek tragedy by revealing the wrestling of two intellectual energies within it.

This paper sketches the relationship of Nietzsche's "Lebensphilosophie," panpsychism, animism, proto-existentialism and naturalism to contemporary ecologism/ecology. It considers his assaults on the metaphysical, epistemological and ethical foundations of anti-ecophilosophy. It connects some of his central doctrines, including self-overcoming, the will to power, "amor fati" and "fierism" (the metaphysics of becoming) to his proto-ecophilosophy and explores three kinds of nihilism which are particularly hostile to it. Finally, it notes Nietzsche's applied ecology-concems, including conservationism, preservationism and pollution.
