I have a few questions I am having trouble. I have to study for this test and beyond good and evil is killing me. It is so confusing. I have trouble with comprehension anyways. I am not a phil major and so this class is a core class so it isn't like I am taking it because I want to. anyways can someone help me with some of these?
What does nietzsche think of democracy?
what danger do the sciences pose for philosophy?
How do spiritually limited men use moral judgements and condemnations?
these are all questions to be found in beyond good and evil.
please any help will be great!

Frankly, Nietzsche loathed both monarchical (be it dictatorships, monarchies, or otherwise) & Democratic forms of governance...
Both, as he theorized, have the same fundamental flaws; resistance to change & haphazard tendencies to ruin proposed change for the better...
It's safe to say that he thought the ruling classes in monarchies were heavily against change hence it would jeopardize their immediate power...And in a Democracy, the "herds" (as he lovingly calls the masses) as suspicious, uneducated, reactionary, corrupt, and are just as resistant to change due to the difficulties of getting change for the better right the first time...The first caste usually acts like the nobles in a monarchy; they can still target their influence and usurp the foundation (the masses) in a democracy...Think of the Jim Crow laws of the South: Far more blacks populated the south, yet whites still continued to discriminate and contain the "threat" on their "old laws." Nietzsche would say that democracy & monarchy is rejected because we do NOT wish to join into social compacts that Locke & Hobbes would say we naturally gravitate towards...
He thinks all laws and codes have retarded human progress in that they have restricted our freedom to discover our inner truths on our own...The inner drive is to stay alive, not a longing for community or likewise, those are afterthoughts and is not valid reasoning due to the confines that others wishing to control the herd place on the herd itself...
He advocated a sort of serene anarchy, where government never tells or spells out how we should relate to each other within society...He gets to this conclusion by rejecting the concepts of nationalism and societal bonds or humanitarianism; thereby rejecting the very idea of the modern nation-state

i admire the Pedroia one. He proved all of us incorrect. i do no longer think of that's a "that's previous baseball advertisement" yet i admire the business whilst the gamers are bobbing up with strategies and Longoria says "a senior promenade, for senior electorate."
