Reject Free Will, Become Who You Are | Brian Leiter on Nietzsche

NOTE

Understanding Self-Improvement and Judging People through Nietzsche's Lens

Self-improvement and child-rearing focus on understanding one's nature and living a suitable life based on that understanding, rather than pursuing abstract ideals. Nietzsche's theory suggests that past actions provide strong evidence of one's true nature, making it challenging for individuals to change. This perspective challenges the notion of free will and emphasizes the determinative pathways of behavior. It implies that individuals may be predisposed to certain behaviors based on their past actions. Ultimately, embracing Nietzsche's framework allows for practical insights into personal development and understanding the nature of individuals without entirely dismissing free will.
