Nietzsche thinks that Greek tragedy helps us to understand our lives—even our setbacks, sufferings, and hardships—as works of art. Do you live your life as though it is a work of art? If you answer yes, give an example of how you do that. If no, what do you think Nietzsche would advise you to do to live your life as a work of art? Explain your answer.
Apply Nietzsche’s ideas of the master morality and slave morality to present-day society. Who do you think is an example of the master morality? Of the slave morality? Explain your answer by referring to Nietzsche’s descriptions of the respective moralities.
Nietzsche claims that “God is dead.” Do you agree or disagree with Nietzsche? Give evidence either that God is dead or that God is not dead. Alternatively, if you believe that God does not exist and therefore cannot have died, give reasons for why you think so.
Reflect on the qualities Nietzsche praises in the overman: health, creativity, poesy, selfishness, and nobility of soul. Are there overmen in present-day society, or are the overmen to be found only in works of fiction? Give a living or fictive example, and defend your claim that that person or character is the overman.
