After reading Nietzche's Twilight of the Idols and studying other research, I found that some of his critiques of the values ​​and philosophy of Socrates and Plato are valid. However, I think some may be a bit exaggerated because he simply didn't like their philosophical views and rejects any attempt to create a philosophical system. He says that the desire to create a system reflects a lack of integrity on the part of the philosopher. Socrates believes that one must follow reason to keep the soul virtuous, which keeps it in good condition. The soul then goes to Hades where it is truly happy and free. For him, self-knowledge is a virtue and is obtained through knowledge itself. Nietzsche says that there is no basis for the idea of ​​reason with virtue or virtue with happiness. Nietzche believes that no one can judge what a life well lived and a life poor is until they die, because if they live, they cannot fully reflect and see how they lived. I believe this is invalid. Maybe this belief comes from religion, but why couldn't we assess how they currently live by their beliefs and actions? If you believe in good values, but do bad actions, you are living more of a bad life than a good life. If you believe in bad values, but do the right thing, you will live more of a good life. In the reading he explains that Socrates is rich, educated, enjoys a high status and honored, but Socrates believes that all of this is worthless, harmful and detrimental to the soul. The soul is all that matters because it is eternal. When he was on death row, he didn't really fight to save his life. He knows his potential and refuses to take control and live up to it. He really doesn't care if he dies and is willing to throw away his... middle of paper ...... e to get revenge on others, especially if those who have been stronger have wronged them . An example of the modern day slave mentality would be Christianity. Many of the morals and values ​​they embody are humbling, forgiving, and based on the true intention of their hearts. So yes, I believe that, to some extent, Nietzche's critique is still relevant in today's world. The only way Nietzche has truly affected or challenged my beliefs is by living my life to the fullest. It reminded me to be more self-aware and take control of my potential and opportunities. It hasn't changed my view of God or the afterlife. I don't believe that we have killed God and that we can determine the value of our life as we live it. I do not believe that my own Christian values ​​make me weak and that personal power is essential. However, it expanded my view of building and testing will to power..
