The philosophical views of famous thinkers are the real property of mankind. Each philosopher has revealed his understanding of being, and we, modern people, have a unique opportunity to look at the world through the eyes of others and decide for ourselves whether to agree with the conclusions of this or that famous person or not. The main thing is that what we take note is a useful guide to action for us. An example is the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche.
It is in his works that we can find one of such positive ideas. In order to better understand the essence of Nietzsche’s philosophical thought , we express it with the most recognizable words today: “our life is what we think of it” (Marcus Aurelius), “every event in our life is neutral, only we attach it a certain meaning” (Nikolai Kozlov , modern psychologist). Perceiving these judgments as truth, a person is easier to cope with difficult situations, and life becomes more interesting. Just because we want it.
And really, is it worth it to look for invisible connections and hidden meaning, if they are not. Why blame providence, divine design, or the invisible universal mind for their troubles? Our fate is the result of our actions, desires, our attitude to her. We can only influence the world that surrounds us, which obeys our will, and only on it. Nietzsche's philosophy gives relief after understanding his ideas. All negativity from past experiences and unpleasant memories recedes. And only after that a person is able to perceive the further train of thought of the philosopher: his reasoning about the superman.
In the 19th century, Nietzsche’s philosophy was a shocking, illogical stream of reasoning. But, despite this, she brought with her several interesting concepts that reveal the essence of human nature: reassessment of spiritual values, understanding of the mind, the process of thinking. Thanks to this, his followers proclaimed bold ideas that there is no God, that philosophy is a dead end branch of the development of science. And all this was done in the name of major changes: for the sake of the birth of a superman with different views of the world.
Friedrich Nietzsche left his mark on history, influencing the development of art and literature of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was remembered by contemporaries as a rebel, a dissent. That is how he presented himself to people, trying to draw the attention of others to historical changes in human values. In those days, no one could yet recognize that there was nothing supernatural or divine, but no one already believed in the existence of higher powers.
Nowadays, everyone is free to decide what to believe in, what place to give to himself in this world: to be the creator of his destiny or to surrender to the power of God, the higher mind. Nietzsche’s philosophy will help to see the problem deeper: the general direction of the development of mankind depends on the decision of everyone living on Earth. This is the essence of his ideas about the superman. Will our society move to a new stage of development or will it be divided in its opinions and views into small groups? ..
The main thing, having made a choice in favor of responsibility for our fate, is to preserve everything human that faith gives us - morality, commandments, spiritual values. Nietzsche's philosophy emphasizes the tragedy of the historical situation: having taken a step on the path to reason and responsibility, mankind loses spirituality. In our century, everyone is left to their own devices , and the media propagandizes the miracles of the supernatural, or even the earthliness of everyday disputes and conflicts. And sometimes it is completely unclear in which direction our society is moving: to the triumph of reason or to the inexhaustible source of faith.
So, Nietzsche's philosophical views to this day find a response in the hearts of people studying the most interesting of sciences. They are still relevant, raise eternal questions, cause a desire to overestimate your view of the world and of yourself ...
