Chapter 3 Title: Friendrich Nietzche: Master and Slave morality Quote: “The truth is hard” Expectation: “ I expect to learn about freedom, slave and mastery.” Book Review: According to Wikipedia, Mr. friendrich Nietzche was a German philosopher and philologist. His topics usually are morality, culture and religion. As I read the book, I have learned that the master had a powerful physicality, and were defined as independent and noble. The master morality valued pride, faith, and confidence within themselves and maintained a strong hatred toward the weak. On the other hand, the slaves are kind, helpful, and have sympathy towards the weak. The slaves also have warm heart, patience, and diligence. These are the things that I encountered while reading Friendrich Niewtzche’s work. I have also learned about humanity. Things I have learned:
I learned about the Slave morality and Master morality. I have also learned the Will of Power.
