Only the strong shall survive." "You're fired." In today's business climate, it is both popular and attractive on a visceral level to think that aggression rather than compassion is the best philosophy for a human being to employ in his or her daily life, to achieve success -- even if one is not Donald Trump.

Only though such aggression and individualism could humans eschew the often narrow and mindless view of the collective.

This is contrary to the expressed ethos of most human service workplaces, of course, whose aim is to enforce particular standards of tolerance and mutual respect that have been decided upon by others, by the heads of an organization and indeed by the law of the land. Also, the ideals of the German philosopher are also not congruent with the creative experiences of many individuals in human services and other sectors of the business world as well.

"Slave morality is, for Nietzsche, clearly a decadent, unhealthy morality" and it is meant to relate to people putting across bitterness with regard to individuals controlling the social order. Slave morality is, in essence, focused on the well-being of humanity as a whole rather than just on the well-being of individuals in control. Nietzsche devised the concept of master morality as a means to provide the world with a more
Nietzsche "Twilight of the Idols" Friedrich Nietzsche was a 19th century German Philosopher who did not shy away from either criticism or conflict with other philosophers. One example of this was Nietzsche's remarks on Rousseau, equality, and democracy. In Nietzsche's book Twilight of the Idols in the chapter entitled "Skirmishes of an Untimely Man," section 48 is devoted to Rousseau, and his idea of the natural equality of humans.
