2. The Central Thought If you can only take away ONE idea with respect to Nietzsche it is this. There is no such thing as good/evil – right/wrong. Only strong and weak. The cornerstone of his thought is WILL TO POWER. That is all living things simply want to dominate other living things. The stronger is naturally correct and has the moral obligation to dominate over the weak.

3. The Nazis Philosopher? Probably one of the most famous things Nietzsche is famous for is that many of his ideas were adopted/twisted by the Nazis regime. As you read his book you will notice that he will talk very poorly about Jews and from time to time with respect. Perhaps the Jews were able to adapt to Western European life to well!
