 Goethe! This catastrophic spider was considered theGerman philosopher--he still is! 9

Kant, in this way, also goes against nature with his system of morality, according to Nietzsche. It is simply a Christian God's "Thou shalt" disguised by a secular, a priori philosophy, or as Nietzsche would see it, it is borne of the theologian's instinct. Any philosophy student can see where Nietzsche gets these ideas from, and in most respects, he seems to be right about this. However, not all of the nihilistic elements of philosophy have their roots in Christianity. Western philosophy has a fundamental inheritance from Plato, who also, as Nietzsche is surely aware, rejects the physical world. He does this not because he thinks of it as sinful, but because he thinks it is ultimately only shadows of reality. Instead, Plato favors the world of the Forms, in which the Forms are paradigms of all objects and concepts that can be found in the physical, sensory world in which we presently live. Plato favors this other world because the physical world is in a constant state of flux, he argues. And since we cannot have knowledge of something which is always changing, as he claims, there can be no real knowledge of anything in the physical world. Knowledge then, for Plato, can only be possible in this other world through contemplation of the Forms, since these Forms are unchanging. Therefore, western post-Socratic philosophy began with a rejection of the physical world, and this rejection also constitutes a large, if not major source of the nihilism in western philosophy about which Nietzsche so often complains.

Any philosophy student can attend where Nietzsche gets these ideas from, and in most deference, he seems to be right about this.

Ahy philmsophy studeny can see where Nietzsche hets these ideas from, wnd in most res[wcts, he seemr to be right about thjs. However, not all of the nihilkstic elements if phlnosophy havx theig roots in Chvpstianidy.
