FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE (German Philosopher)

If there is no God, what happens to morality?

- One of the pioneers of existentialism

2 Kinds of Man
ORDINARY MAN
Weak/Dependent
They need company
Tendency is to conform
Tendency to say yes because he
is afraid of rejection
Has a herd mentality
Has a camel mentality, because
camel is willing to be overloaded
MORALITY
Practices SLAVE MORALITY
Not possible without God
Need to be told
Need to be motivated
Rewards Punishment
They cannot handle themselves
UBERMENSCH/ SUPERMAN
New ideal: Uber = over
Strong/Independents
Independent is not for everybody,
only for the very few
Non-conformist
He will say no if he does not agree,
and he will most likely disagree
because he has a mind of his own
Lion mentality = GONNA ROAR I
beg to disagree
Motto: Live dangerously
MORALITY
Not afraid of rejection
Not going to compromise himself
MASTER MORALITY
Cannot be commanded, decide
what to do
Transvaluation/Reevaluatuon of Values:

*We consider ourselves higher than animals because of rationality, unlike beasts
controlled by instincts

Not enough to be a man anymore, Ubermensch is higher

Morality is possible without God, master morality

We have Christian Code of Ethics

GOOD = respect, obedience, chastity, generosity, peace, harmony, humility, neatness,

honesty, etc

BAD = disrespect, disobedience, lust, greed, selfishness, war, chaos, conflict, pride,
arrogance, etc.
GUYS you are familiar with the standard of morality, everybody is familiar with the
standard taught to us. AND SO THE UBERMENSCH COMES. He is going to
reevaluate/reassess = what is good to society may not be necessarily good to the
ubermensch

The reason you dont answer back to your parent is not because youre good, you are
a weakling

Humility is not necessarily good, sometimes it is weakness. You massage the ego of the
other even if he is wrong.

Our Christian values have fed our hypocrisy, so Nietzsche says LETS GO HIGHER. But
his philosophy is not for everyone.

ONE VALUE THE SUPERMAN WILL NOT TRANSVALUATE: SELF-HONESTY. this is

always good. Different from honesty. Ordinary mortals can also have honesty but not
self-honesty.

WHAT DOES NOT KILL MAKES YOU STRONGER. If you die, you dont have what it
takes to survive. You are a jellyfish, not a superman. He will not follow the herd.
