Differences With Nietzsche
Nietzsche was a powerful, if neurotic, thinker and his integrity was such that as the ultimate
intellectual he could say, it takes more courage than
intelligence to find the truth.
Nietzsche was in some ways the father
of the bio-social thinking of present day sociobiology, which I
affirm, but Nietzsche was also the father of the relativity of morals in
modern philosophy, which I do not affirm.
Nietzsche's will-to-power was goalless,
although it led to supermen, but they were also also goalless. The Spirit-Will
of the Evolutionary Church (EC) is also called the
Will-to-Godhood, and unlike Nietzsche's will-to-power it has a
sacred goal.
The radicalism of Nietzsche, and of
modern philosophy---and modern art---mainly rejects the past, and rejects tradition, which is a sociobiological mistake. The new needs to be
included in the old if there is to be life at all. This is
affirmed in the Twofold Path of EC, where the Inward Path leads to
the inward God first seen in traditional religion, and the Outward Path leads to
the outward Godhood now seen in material evolution. Here old and new, religion and
science, can finally make friends.
The superman of Nietzsche, like the
later Beyondism of Cattell (another courageous thinker), is not
enough. There is a goal to the primal power drive, which is why the
Spirit-Will is defined as the Will to Godhood and not the will to
power. Nietzsche was a radical, even if his was an aristocratic
radicalism, and this radicalism leads to the problems of
imperialism and chosenness-supremacy, which leads to chaotic war, and war tends to stop all
evolution---like upsetting the great game table of Ordered Evolution because you can't play the game well.
All men are activated by the Spirit-Will within, or the Will-To Godhood, to
evolve toward eternal representation, or Godhood, and this motivates survival and reproduction and all cultural creations,
unconsciously or consciously. The practical way, and the moral way,
to accommodate the Spirit-Will, for all men,
all ethnic groups, is to establish, or reestablish, virtually independent
small states, where continuing evolution can be more quickly and
easily reflected, protected against imperialism by a light federalism, and guided by the
Church.
