Some interesting statements.
Nietzsche said to the cow: why are you so happy, and the cow said that is because I do not think about the future and the past, I do not think about anything, but when it wanted to say that, it had already forgotten it again.
Übermensch is the term, coined by Nietzsche, for the courageous human who can fully embrace life and create new values for himself.
The Übermensch does not seek the meaning of life in an afterlife, or in a Platonic world of ideas, but in life itself. The Übermensch is therefore not a superior human race, as it is sometimes understood, but the human who does not create illusions to soften existence. ‘Man is a rope, tied between animal and Übermensch.’
Sartre says: life has no purpose, the purpose is life itself.
Remarks by Kant:
- You should not teach people philosophy; instead, you should teach them how to philosophize.
- In the Enlightenment movement (17th/18th century), he states: "Enlightenment" is the transition from self-imposed mental immaturity to mental maturity.
