Friedrich Nietzsche on Humans - Dictionary of Arguments
Danto III 135 Human/Nietzsche/Danto: The concept of human is an anthropomorphism; for the self, the ego and the soul are actually only derived entities based on our prejudice that every event should be based on something as an effecting force - under which also thoughts can be counted. >Self/Nietzsche, >Psychology/Nietzsche. Danto III 219 Human/Nietzsche/Danto: "When he first discovered the possibility of self-control, the human awakened an interest in himself, a tension, a hope, (...) as if something was about to happen, preparing something, as if the human were not a goal, but only a way, an incident, a bridge, a great promise."(1) Danto: it must be clear to the very end that Nietzsche did not want to let the beast out of the cage into which the morale had locked it up. Nietzsche encouraged us to go beyond what we are, not back to who we were. >Morality/Nietzsche. It is possible that humans remain in the state of mere self-aggression or mere self-loathing. That is what Nietzsche calls a guilty conscience. 1. F. Nietzsche Zur Genealogie der Moral, KGW VI. 2, p. 339f._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
