Morality in the West is often dismissed as trivial and outdated. Concepts of good and evil are highly susceptible to interpretation, with ethics preferably set aside so as not to unduly encroach on our daily pleasures. One of the most ill-considered, unpopular, yet underrated aspects of Western society is the diminishing role of conscience. Though conscience belongs to the mechanisms governing our behaviour, its importance should not be underestimated....

There are times when life as a human becomes difficult. We are caught between the divine and the instinctual: neither omnipotent gods able to avoid suffering nor blameless animals acting solely on impulse. On the contrary, to rise above, we must regulate our emotions, ideations, and penchants, eschewing any claim to divinity without descending to an animal state. For no god has ever struggled or exerted effort to attain and retain godhood, nor has...

The Lord, therefore, is never affected by any kind of wrath, so how can there be any place for lust, which is less strong than wrath?

Por Simmel, no se trata simplemente de estudiar con detalle la obra de Schopenhauer y de Nietzsche, más bien de hacer el balance de la cultura moderna tomando como...
