Synopsis
Excerpt from The Climbers: An Address in the Rodef Shalom Temple, Pittsburgh, Sunday, November 24, 1912
Immediately after Darwin's discoveries had become well established in the minds of the thoughtful, a Ger man philosopher, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche applied these biological laws to human experience. Nietzsche showed that the survival of the fittest must be taken to mean the survival of the strongest. Germany responded to this teaching by becoming an armed camp. The phil osophy of blood and iron, of force and fist, became apotheosized and, from the Emperor down, the German people. Evolved into a perfect fighting machine. It was, and still is, held that, if Germany is to maintain her posi tion in Europe, conscription must be rigidly enforced and the young German must be developed into a physi cal giant.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the theory of the "survival of the fittest" advanced by Charles Darwin to account for the evolution of species. The author highlights that Darwin's theory was confined to natural selection, but German philosopher, Nietzsche, extended its application to the human experience, proposing that the "fittest" were the strongest. Criticizing this notion, the author argues that it was the survival of the best that mattered, prioritizing qualities of mind and spirit, rather than physical force. The author draws examples from history and societies to illustrate that those who have understood and applied this principle have been demonstrably more successful in the truest sense. This book is particularly relevant today as humanity is grappling with issues related to social justice and equality, inviting readers to reconsider their own perspectives on strength, success, and what it means to be "fit" for survival in society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334018428_0
