  • Help with my philosophy exam
    So the branch of philosophy I have decided to go with is Metaphysics and I need to establish criteria to place a series of such enquiries within metaphysics. Any ideas?

  • Nietzche and his influence on Hitler
    Goodness! I wasn’t quite expecting all these responses. And while some of them have been incredibly helpful there have been a few condescending replies.
    I appreciate the time you have all taken to reply to my question.
    Just to clarify...I am currently studying an ACCESS course to go on to study Philosophy at university. So I am very new to all of this. We have just finished lesson two of Philosophy at college so you may want to go a little easy on me. Yes I understand Nietzsche is one of the hardest Philosphers to read and understand and congrats to all of you for you impeccable knowledge but some of you do come across as quite brash to someone who is just starting out. I am a mature student who has only recently been granted full use of her eyes over these last two years and I have a thirst for knowledge on the subject of Philosophy. I have chosen Nietzsche because I feel for what I have read so far that he is very misunderstood. I have ordered ‘Beyond Good and Evil’ and ‘The Will to Power’ and I will not allow anyone to try and make me feel as though I am in over my head with wanting to read his works. He fascinates me. He challenges a lot of my own thoughts and beliefs and that is exactly what I am looking for with wanting to study Philosophy. As for offending anyone with my question about Hitler’s interest in his work, I was simply putting forth a discussion which took place in my classroom and turned into somewhat of a debate and thought this would be the best place to come for clarity after googling “Philosophy forums” and selecting what I thought would be the best bet. I apologise for offending anyone with Mis-spelling his name or the mention of Hitler. But we all have to start somewhere and I thought this would be a good place. My presentation is a mere five minutes long and I do not intend on bringing in Hitler as it is not something that can possibly be covered in that space of time but it did spark an interest in me.
    Again, I thank you all for your time.
    Forgive my ignorance.
