Document Summary
Self-overcoming does not mean doing 10 reps instead of 8, it means constantly re-defining yourself and being free. Nietzsche hated anything that could be characterized by mass because it meant people would become drones e. g. mass industrialization, religion, nazism. Nietzsche influenced jacques derrida"s deconstruction -constantly taking the system apart, not to destroy it, but to have some measure of power and control over the system e. g. the. Canadian supreme court will not hear a case unless it involves a deconstruction of canadian law, taking apart traditional understandings and putting it back together differently. Deconstruction is a direct descendant of nietzsche"s critical thinking, especially considering the constant questioning, re-opening, and insisting on freedom from ideology. Derrida believes that democracy and freedom should remain ideals>>everyone must have their own un-deconstructibles>>there are situations in which we will not deconstruct>>we must yearn for our ideals>> ideals are indispensable but impossible . Identify your indispensable ideals in life and pursue them despite their impossibility.
