Friedrich Nietzsche on Suffering - Dictionary of Arguments
Danto III 211 Suffering/Nietzsche/Danto: Nietzsche's sources for his indictment of slave morality are hidden in a distinction between rhetoric and analysis. People feel the joy of harm in fights, executions and humiliations, bullfighting and cockfighting or the like. >Morality/Nietzsche, >Life/Nietzsche. Danto III 212 Nietzsche behaves differently at different points: with his own agility he appreciates our feeling of power and in the same breath he condemns the joy in pain. He characterizes the human being as the animal that makes promises and has such a "memory of the will".(1) Danto III 214 Pain/Nietzsche/Danto: is a social instrument. It is a deterrent against forgetting. Suffering/Joy/Nietzsche/Danto: Nietzsche suggests that people feel a certain amount of pleasure in the suffering of others, because otherwise it would have to be a bad business, if the loss of a cow should be compensated with a hundred strikes on someone's back. Danto III 215 God/Gods/Suffering/Berkeley/Nietzsche/Danto: Nietzsche changes Berkeley's idea that people invented the concept of an omnipresent God, so that a witness can be present for every little pain and so that nothing is wasted. >God/Berkeley, >Berkeley. Nietzsche transforms the thought into the problem of evil: It was not caused by the gods, it created the gods. Danto III 216 One wants to make our vision woe to the other and awaken his envy, the feeling of powerlessness and his descent.(2) A nun uses her chastity to punish the women who live the natural female life.(3) Danto III 217 On the top rung of the leader of civilization is not the blonde beast, but the ascetic. He is a self-disciplined person who differs from others in that he does not exercise his power over others, but over himself. >Civilization/Nietzsche. 1. F.
