![]() ![]() ![]() A ‘master’ expresses this will in clearest of terms without any hypocrisy but ‘slaves’ who cannot master their ‘masters’ physically, invent subversive subtle psychological devices to triumph them. It is beyond the scope of this article to trace out Nietzsche’s critique of English psychologists, his philology studies and consequently his work on Genealogy where he presents his critique of Christian morality but in sum we may say that for Nietzsche life is about self-disclosure/self-expression/assertion and different people pursue this ideal in different ways. One of the best things that we may learn from Nietzsche is to guard ourselves against hypocritical moralism. In this piece we will try to outline some of the points that we may learn from Nietzsche and the points where we need to put out certain reservations against him. To some he becomes a status symbol for positing one’s ‘uniqueness’ or coming across as ‘cool’ whilst largely being clueless of what Nietzsche actually represents. He has largely been abused through misquotations of him in various Hollywood movies. Nietzsche can be easily counted among the very few thinkers who have attained a pop culture star figure status. ![]()
