Genius of Modern World
Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher, poet, philologist, and social criticizer born on October 15, 1844. Nietzsche was a brilliant writer whose works majorly influenced many writers. His interest mainly based on challenging the fundamentals of traditional and Christianity morality. Nietzsche’s interest lay upon enrichment of discrete and social health and was a firm believer of originality, supremacy, and realities that revolve around the world that we are living. He argues that morality that controls the European culture is obtained from Christianity because he believes this is what deprives individual advancement. According to him, morality is a bad thing.
Friedrich Nietzsche rejects morality because it is invaluable. In his argument, Friedrich states that morality prevents those who are capable of living the highest standards of life from doing so (Van Fossen, 2019). According to him, the highest standards of living in the flouring and brilliance of human beings. A flourishing human is one who is capable of soaring higher to be whoever he or she wants to be by realizing their potential (Nietzsche, 2012). Morality would differ from one another based on self-understanding and what a person wants to become. Friedrich’s uncertainties about morality are that it looks down upon the fact that people can be differently good on different things.
Friedrich states that morality that dominates s obtained from Christianity. He argues that religion does not grant morality authorization but indeed states that morality defends itself by all its strength (Van Fossen, 2019). Compliance with morality prevents one from realizing the highest Excellence. Morality stresses one to bear with the norms, ideals, and duties irrespective of one meeting their own goal in life (Nietzsche, 2012). Therefore morality demands the high type of people to behave in a way that prevents them from going for what is right for them that depicts their flouring.
Friedrich claims that the world is valueless since man has conferred upon all the valuables it had. If we were brought up in a society that is morally dominated, we are most likely to comply with the morals since we have a notion of the adverse outcomes associated with immorality (Van Fossen, 2019). According to Friedrich, those who have better goals to achieve might be constrained by these norms and hence being unable to pursue Excellency.
In conclusion, for one to be successful, he or she has to violate the morals of the society to become whom he or she is capable of. I strongly agree with Friedrich that morality plays a significant role in dragging the higher types behind from pursuing their dream.
