Re: Valus and Things
Maybe destroying the human being is the most beautiful of all the gods or values avalible to the human sense of inner autonomous engenuity. For instance when humans become the equivilant of the Samueal Becket film "Quad" 1981 they become the mirror of an ethos that is inhuman and has no ho...

The Human Solipsism
I sense the presence of the human solipsism which is a solipsism that is not pathological in the sense of the psycopath. It would consist of an ethos that does not care to be superior or to have pride of place for its own sake. A pure logos type might seem like this solopsist. Since they don't care ...

And, the same.
The same could go away. Not the concept understood as something built up on top of the eyes inside the mind. The same might go away, however, this would only show that it is not nesisary. True, if it went away, one would not know about its going away properly.

Re: Truth As A Species Of Error In Nietzsche
What does life mean exactly? And is it truly life? Nietsche points to a word of Goethe's aprovingly: "I hate everything that merely instructs me without augmenting or directly invigorating my activity." He seems to imply that it is true. Or, in any case, truly part of the region of the lif...

A fit of Truth
I would say, understanding and language are inseperable from what the eyes see. Human beings are never free of understanding even though they often are in pain from not having more of it.

Re: Individualism vs. Collectivism
On the other side there is a solipsistic existence which doesn't regard itself as superior to the other individuals and doesn't suffer from the isolation of the individual consciousness. There is collectivist existence which has no pride or claim to be ahead of the others, since it is for the others...

Re: reality of being
It could be that rather than wanting to be remembered, they want praise while they are alive. The praise could take the form of an admission that their legacy is of great value and corresponding to that they may receive practical tokens of the efficacious homage from others inclusive of money equiva...

Re: Loyalty
Loyalty to a code of laws and loyalty to a group is a distinction worthy of consideration in numerous ways.
There is the recent case of Romney siding with the law over loyalty to his party.
