the whole artificial structure of categories, classes,
causes, and concepts, set up in the nineteenth century on a
basis of mediaevalism" (2, p. 8). Man's universal nature is
established with a common source of motivation, which for
Nietzsche is the Will-to-Power: "A living thing seeks above
all to discharge its strength ... self-preservation is
only one of the indirect and most frequent results thereof"
(6, p. 20).
The individual's uniqueness lies in his personal
experiences in interaction with the environment. Man is,
but is not significant in just being; rather, man*s signifi-
cance lies in the constant process of becoming. The strong
achieve great heights in manipulative leadership and the
weak find warm security in conformity to the "herd."
Nietzsche attacked the very foundation of man*s
security, his religious faith. His central subject was the
individual who must courageously admit that he alone is
responsible for himself and his behavior, that he must be
his own savior, and that he has dignity only to the extent
that he can experience self-realization. "Eventually one
must do everything oneself in order to know something, which
means that one has much to do" (6, p. 64)1
God is dead, says Nietzsche, and European man if he
were more honest, courageous, and had keener eyes for
what went on in the depths of his own soul would know
that this death has taken place there, despite the lip
service still paid to the old formulae and ideals of
religion (1, p. 13).
