Master/slave mentality




  Nietzche speaks of a master/slave mentality that intermingles and functions together in many complex ways and can even coexist within a single soul. He admits it is an oversimplified, but brutaly thought provoking way of looking at morality. It is prohibitive and constraining rather than inspiring.



 The slave nurtures resentment until it 'poisons' him, while the master, noble and self-secure expresses his feelings and frustrations.



  Nietzche's 'genealogy' of morals addresses the new reader uncomfortable with his own slavish attitudes, while appealing to the urge to become master, inspiring a seductive sense of superiority.



  Nietzche says the slave revolt in morality begins when resentment, itself, becomes creative and gives birth to values.



What Nietzche Really Said- Solomon and Higgins





Binary Opposition





  A pair of terms that are theoretical opposites. Its seen as a fundamental organizer of philosophy, culture and language.



The philosophy; unless a distinction is rigorous and precise, it isn’t really distinct.



   Its characteristic of western thought and is comprised, not only of opposition, but to domination, as well. The character of binary opposition is many times value-laden and ethnocentric with a illusory order and superficial meaning.



   For example, presence and absence, polar opposites. Presense is seen dominant as absence is what you get when you take away presense.



  Similarly male, female. Male is dominant because of his ‘schlong’? The thinking male from female creates a vacuum, a loss, a hole, a black hole, invagination.
