In “Nietzche’s Meaningful and Politics Philosophy” Nietzches theory of the strong and weak willed is explained to us. Nietzsche “seems to want to say that anyone who is solid, independent, and so forth — anyone that fits his description to the higher kind of man — is one who has value in himself”. I think it is interesting that Nietzsche sets such high value on a guy who can think for him self, but if this kind of man has followers and admirers of his operate, these followers are considered fragile willed.
In the event that everyone on the globe thought pertaining to himself and broke free in the society approved norms, our World would be among mad turmoil. Nobody believing each other or perhaps taking an additional mans word, everyone being forced to find out on their own, and everyone trying to rise above another to “break free from social norms”. Even though it should be recognized when a man has a good will to power and may break free through the common perceptions and values, i do certainly not believe this kind of path of master values is a thing every man should do.
Nietzsche seems to place a much higher worth on a man that fails free of culture, and says the “followers” form everything in society to work against this man, “[m]dental judgments and condemnations constitute the favorite payback of the spiritually limited against those fewer limited” (BGE 219), and he claims that the “chief means” by which the “weak and mediocre…weaken and pull over the stronger” is “the moral judgment”. To higher understand this you may say, which the Government (the weak willed) put restrictions on citizens to get them to conform to social norms. The goal of this is to weaken the citizens and prevent them coming from rising above the government.
In the example We used over I would [Type text] [Type text] [Type text] claim to Nietzsche that in rising over this weak willed govt in order to become a strong willed person, could suggest i are breaking laws and damaging others to be able to fit in the master morality category. How would this individual explain criminals who “break free of social norms and attitudes” although do it by unjust means? I think this kind of theory of what a solid and weakened willed man is, is extremely questionable.
Even though you should aspire to question everything you are educated and common beliefs will be, i don’t believe every men who do this happen to be “strong-willed”.
