I teach you the superman. Man is something to be surpassed.
Friedrich Nietzsche [1883]
Yes, Man is essentially flawed, Fred was right. But with the missing pieces filled in with Faith in his Maker, he can become the superman he craved for.

For centuries people have had faith in their maker. Certainly more than they have now, yet not one superman. Why is that?
ReplyDeleteI admire your standing up for your faith, and taking the sneers and brickbats.
ReplyDeleteYep. Fred was also a nihilist and characterized his philosophy emptying the world (especially human existence) of meaning, purpose, comprehensible truth, or essential value.
ReplyDeleteSo I agree that with Faith in God this world does have meaning, purpose, comprehensible truth, and essential value.
Thanks for reminding me!
As a student of the love of wisdom I was first astonished with your reply to Kant and have now passed into numb awe with this zinger. It really takes some cojones (I believe the phrase is) to attempt to correct not one but two of the greatest German.. no, World-historical philosophers.
ReplyDeleteMight I suggest that you don't lower your sights and go after Plato and Aristotle next. Or if they're a bit old hat, then perhaps Sartre or Derrida? Alternatively could this perhaps just be a massive display of egnorance... nah!

Merv can engage quantitative easing without igniting inflationary pressures.

Indeed
Lord T - becasue man is not perfectable. There are too many failsafes in there.
ReplyDeleteSackers - thanks.
SSNick - agreed.
Chris - just because a philosopher is famous, does not mean he's correct. Voltaire is a prime example.
Anon - yes.
Anon - indeed indeed.
And bloggers are more often wrong than right James, especially when they think they're right. Your characterising of N. and K. is brief and out of place (not to say immature). What was that about man not being perfect? He's not right either, for the most part, just vociferous of his vulgarity.
ReplyDeleteIn which way immature, Chris?
