Nietzsche finds humankind only a step between animal and Übermensch. Übermensch (overman) is Nietzsche's theory of a higher type of man, which will arise in the future.
Nietzsche was an atheist.
Nietzsche's nonmetaphysical view rejects traditional metaphysical concepts like God or an objective reality beyond human perception. He argues that truth is subjective and constructed by individuals based on their own perspectives and experiences. Nietzsche also sees human nature as dynamic and shaped by individual will to power, rather than being predetermined or fixed.
Some people view Nietzsche's ideas as controversial or challenging, particularly due to his critiques of morality, religion, and societal norms. However, Nietzsche's work has also had a significant influence on philosophy, literature, and psychology, and his ideas are studied and debated by scholars and students worldwide. Ultimately, whether Nietzsche is considered "bad" is a matter of personal interpretation and perspective.
Nietzsche viewpoints on women have always been controversial. He described them with terms such cunning, craven and repugnant. His comments come across as misogynistic. Other students of Nietzsche believe his viewpoints were reflections of Aristotle rather than exclusivity.
Hobbes does not have a good view on mankind. He thinks that mankind is selfish, cowardly and vainglorious.
Nietzsche would likely disagree with Plato because he believed in the affirmation of life, while Plato idealized a metaphysical realm of perfect forms, which Nietzsche would view as a denial of the world as it is. Nietzsche also criticized Plato for championing reason and logic over emotions and instincts, which he believed were essential to human nature. Overall, Nietzsche's focus on individualism and overcoming societal norms contrasts with Plato's emphasis on the pursuit of eternal and unchanging truths.
Nietzsche believed in a reevaluation of traditional ethics, particularly challenging notions of good and evil. He emphasized the importance of individual authenticity and the pursuit of self-mastery and personal growth. Nietzsche's ethical philosophy focused on embracing life's inherent challenges and complexities rather than relying on fixed moral codes.
Friedrich Nietzsche's birth name is Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.
While he often referred to Nietzsche, and did seminars on Nietzsche, he never wrote a book on Nietzsche.
Friedrich Nietzsche's gravestone is inscribed with "FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE. 1844-1900."
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche believed that individuals who believe they have an ego, and whatever they do or say about their ego are deluding themselves. What they see as their ego is a phantom of reality in that their perception of it is primarily based on what others communicate to them, in one way or another. This results in an individual only having a slanted view of what they think of themselves. Here Nietzsche delves into psychology and as he does not exclude himself from his own ideas, also has a slanted view of himself, perhaps.
Nietzsche did not stay silent.
