On Nietzche's Psychological Ideas

Nierzche is regarded as one of the most excellent thinkers in the modern age. His works is distinguished for the anti-traditional style and irrational trend, which gives much heed to the nature of human being and sets him apart from his contemporaries. What's more, Nierzche is considered as a person that had great ideas in the field of psychology.It is a fact that there is no more specific distinction between the field of philosophy and the field of psychology, because many great philosophers have great intelligence in the field of psychology are also have great talent in the field of philosophy. Nierzche can be appropriately thought as one of the most intelligent one. His ideas in this field touch much, which offers something valuable to us even up to now. We benefit not only from his theories but also from the methodology he had applied. Nietzsche's ideas cannot directly lead to the access to psychology, and in this thesis I set two different hypotheses, which are available to the access, so that we can have a general understanding about the relation between Nietzsche's philosophical ideas and his psychological ideas. As Nierzche himself concerned, the development of his philosophy and the development of his psychology are closely related. Nietzsche's theory is unique and characteristic, he appealed to willpower in his philosophy, the willpower of human being can be developed at its most. The essential part in his psychology is his understanding about the instinct of human being and the understanding about the relation between the two fields of philosophy and psychology. He thought the instinct as something like willpower. He took an negative view on an long-lasting instinct, but he especially emphasize the importance of lust and aggressiveness.These psychological ideas are unique to the modern psychology. The differences lie in the fact that he applied the value to psychology, which creates a new perspective to the essence in this realm.Though his theory has been proved to be somewhat impartial, the spirit covey in it is deeply absorbed by many researchers, which makes him a genius.
