To read morals, Nietzsche.

 To read morals, Nietzsche.


​


​


In Nietzsche's view, the philosophers' attempts to 'found morality' were too clumsy. First of all, they were psychologically naive. For example, he tried to establish morals on the basis of unselfish behavior (altruistic behavior).


He prescribes what moral behavior is (accepts it as 'given'), and only tries to find the moral motive or intrinsic aptitude of human beings that made this behavior possible. He did not question what he regarded as a moral action, itself.


​


In The Human Too Human, Nietzsche calls these philosophers "spectators drawn by the spirit of philanthropy, not of the spirit of learning." He is a philanthropist who has no doubts about morality and only calls out for altruistic actions.


​



​


Also, these philosophers did not have a 'historical sense'. If we look at the basis of morality they claim, it is really just "a good belief in the current morality". Could it be said that the present moral judgment has been overlaid on all eras and nations? They did not know that what one age, one nation called good, another time, another called evil. In short, they did not know that the moral sense is a historical formation."


 


Therefore, those who wish to deal with morality must be careful and courageous not to be caught up in the prejudices of their time. In addition, he must be diligent as he has to review vast amounts of material. The dust-covered material must be carefully examined and “conceptually grasped and organized into a vast area of ​​sensitive value emotions and value differences that live, grow, produce, and fall.”


In addition, the material should not be 'crudely and arbitrarily extracted', but should have 'delicate hands and senses' like a jeweler.

Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom.

 Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom. ​ Get your hands off the hanging cliff. Enlightened people say I had to get my hands off the hanging cliff. I can't believe it's a story from Buddhism, which emphasizes mercy and love. Doubts can be easily dispelled. A 'hanging cliff' is actually just an object of obsession, believing that it will die if it is released even though there is no problem. The 'hanging cliff' is different for each person. It could be youth, health, family, money, home, or children. Or it could be love, it could be friendship, it could be the approval of others.   It is clear that the person who cannot lift his hand from the cliff is not free, he is not the master of his own life. Whatever it is, if it is impossible to live without it, and if it is likely that he will die, he is already a slave to the cliff on which he hangs. If you let go, you will die, but why should you let go? For the freedom to pursue new possibilities in life....

 alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self. There are three classes of alchemists. A person who only imitates the language of alchemy without understanding it, Someone who understands but is finally frustrated to know that the language of alchemy is to be followed with the heart and not the head, A person who has never heard of alchemy, but has already become an alchemist by living the life of obtaining the secret of alchemy and discovering the 'philosopher's stone' in his life... ​ Failed alchemists just want to turn lead into gold.

If you look into even a single grain of sand with love, you can dis...

君子上達 小人下達

Learning flows from the bottom up to the high. ​ A gentleman faces upwards and a small man faces downwards. (君子上達 小人下達) .. - Analects ​ It means that a gentleman goes through high-level studies and disciplines to rectify himself and create a better world, but a small man concentrates on fulfilling his own interests and greed. In addition, <Heonmun> contains words that tell how to do it. That's 'Hahak Sangdal'. It means that no matter how high ideals and dignified life are pursued, daily learning must be a prerequisite. ​ ​ Education must first teach the near and small, and then the far and great. If you do not go through the process of solidifying the basics properly in order to achieve quick results and teach high-level things first, you will collapse at some point, like building a castle on sand. However, if you stop at something close and small, you will not be able to make progress in your studies. The beginning of learning is small and close, but the end of learn...
