Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil: Master Morality (Right Wing) and Slave Morality (Left Wing)

Показать описание
In this video I examine sections of Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil. I focus on his claim that: "There are master moralities and slave moralities. I would add at once that in all higher and more complex cultures, there are also apparent attempts to mediate between the two moralities, and even more often a confusion of the two and a mutual misunderstanding, indeed sometimes even their violent juxtaposition--even in the same person, within one single breast." (section 260) I argue that Nietzsche covertly confuses his descriptions of these two moralities, even on the same page, in order to demonstrate how the two moralities (which can be correlated with Right wing and Left ideologies) both emerge from the underlying will to power, which is deified in the god Dionysus, who manifests the qualities of master morality and slave morality. I compare Nietzsche's comments to the political strife in the United States of America in the summer of 2020.

Most comprehensive exposition of Nietzsche I've found. You'd probably get many more views if you weave the topics into modern issues in the title? Idk. Thanks!
