Friedrich Nietzsche

For this critical analysis i chose to write about Nietzsche. One reason for choosing him is he is by far the most open author we have come across so far in the class. He does not hold back anything in his writing. Nietzche clearly wasnt worried about others opinions and/or beliefs when writing "Twilight of The Idols or How to Philosophize With a Hammer." In this writing he expresses his opinions and feelings on Christianity as well as Buddhism. He was very blunt with his opinions say the least.An example of this is one of his works which was titled "The Anti-Christ" In this foreward he starts by saying "This book belongs to the very few. Perhaps none of them is even living yet"(Nietzsche,114). This quote shows that he knew this wasnt going to be the most popular and liked writing he was going to make however he still felt the urgency to put his opinion out there. Nietzsche also states "Moral judgement belongs, as does religous judgement, to a level of ignorance at which even the concept of the real, the distinction between the real and the imaginary, is lacking.."(55). Nietzsche says here that moral and religous judgement lack the distinction between the real and the imaginary. This statement alone can cause plenty of confrontation and anger. these are just two of many statements made by Nietzsche that show how open of an author he really is.
