  • Essay / Truth and Nature - 1105

    Truth and NatureAs I read more of Nietzsche and Loa Tzu, there is an increasing similarity between the basic structures of the two philosophical assumptions rather than a difference. Although the results differ and even the rational thought process of the two men is traced differently and suggests radically different ideal lifestyles, both works, the Tao Te Ching and the Will to Power, argue for first the acceptance of an immoral world, of a world with no true good or evil, neither high nor low, but rather man as he is and nature, connected to man, as that she is. Originally it was thought that human nature dictates a nature of man, a controlling habit of man, while others side with the thinking that man takes his cues from nature. nature and that nature controls both man and matter. As we said previously, the two theorists execute their theories differently, although here the similarity appears paradoxically by contrast. The will to power explains man's tendency to act in accordance with desire and, "(to put it mildly), exploitation", as ways of human nature. Nature belongs to man. Man becomes the creator of his own self-image; he aims to become the “value creator” among his subjects, and thus takes nature under his own control. He thus becomes powerful thanks to the control of others. The power, the wisdom, the strength, the essence of life here is established by conquest. Now power (although simply making such precise assertions clearly defies Lao Tzu's attempts to explain the detriment of the definition) is acquired, or accepted by quietism, and meekness scorned by the Will of Power. Power, or true strength and nobility, is understood through the Tao as achieved through inaction, or flow (e.g. the water illusion of the Tao), not through Niet..... . middle of paper ......f religion, especially Christianity (as it promoted the weak slave mentality and introduced the difference between evil and good and evil and good). In fact, Nietzche is famous for saying that God is dead and the Tao is famous for not knowing a single deity. The holes and accidents of life, the unpredictable emotional inconsistency of life are not explained simply by power and best interests, but rather by power alone. we view accidents and mistakes as the foundation of our life. Not everything follows power, nor does power meet the final needs of human ambition to achieve complete happiness, but rather promotes the impossible. Something must be said out of pity, out of the sight of someone who suffers, who condemns both concepts. Neither weakness, nor passivity, nor understanding of nature would be enough to describe our actions in the face of famine, holocaust or death..
