Good And Evil

In Beyond Good and Evil, Friedrich Nietzsche writes, “When you stare for a long time into an abyss, the abyss stares back into you.”1 The journey that I have taken in this book can be read, perhaps, as an act of staring into the abyss. Perhaps, to be more accurate, the path that my inquiry has taken through the chapters of this book might be better described as “plunging into” the abyss rather than just gazing on it. As I have been consistently arguing, the abyss, after all, cannot be restricted to matters of epistemology. Rather, it signals an ontological question. What, then, does the abyss that stares back at us look like? What happens to us as we gaze upon the abyss and as it gazes back upon us?...

Genealogy Of Morals

This concluding chapter highlights some criticisms of the virtues. David Hume and Friedrich Nietzsche both challenged the traditional construal of the virtues and their role. Hume’s approach to morality was based upon ‘moral sentiment’ where moral feelings were central to one’s deliberation about ethics and so one’s practical reason was simply a means to best secure the satisfaction of one’s various desires. Nietzsche argues that the traditional virtues are merely terms used and cultivated by the weak to control the strong. He draws up a ‘genealogy of morals’ and concludes that terms like ‘good’ and ‘evil’ have no real meaning apart from self-descriptions of the people who employ them.

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.

Good And Evil

В статье анализируются феномены веры и неверия в миросозерцании знаменитого немецкого философа Фридриха Ницше. При этом отмечается, что их специфика обнаруживает себя на фоне тотального пессимизма всего творчества философа, доходящего до того, что автором отрицается не только Бог, религиозная вера, но и все вообще формы мировоззрения и даже существование самой истины, а его вера в сверхчеловека оказывается абсолютно утопической, ибо своё основание она находит в культе силы по ту сторону добра и зла. Внимание читателя статьи обращается также на то, что Ницше при всех неоспоримых достоинствах его литературного стиля в своих суждениях и выводах не всегда последователен, а иногда даже и противоречив. Печальный религиозно-философский опыт, в котором немецкий философ хотя и пытался, по выражению Е. Трубецкого, «осмыслить свой атеизм», сделал тем не менее из Ницше «бесприютного скитальца мысли». The article analyzes the phenomena of faith and disbelief in the worldview of the famous German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. At the same time, it is noted that their specificity reveals itself against the background of total pessimism of all the creativity of the philosopher, reaching the point that the author denies not only God, religious faith, but all forms of worldview and even the existence of the truth itself, and his faith in the Superman is absolutely utopian, because it finds its basis in the cult of power on the other side of good and evil. The attention of the reader is also drawn to the fact that Nietzsche, despite all the undeniable advantages of his literary style in his judgments and conclusions, is not always consistent, and sometimes even contradictory. The sad religious and philosophical experience in which the German philosopher though tried, in E. Trubetskoy’s expression, «to comprehend the atheism», made nevertheless of Nietzsche «the homeless wanderer of thought».
