"Nietzsche and Other Exponents of Individualism" by Paul Carus is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. This work examines the thoughts and critiques surrounding Friedrich Nietzsche, focusing on the essence of individualism and its implications within philosophical discourse. Carus seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of Nietzsche's views alongside those of other prominent individualist thinkers, arguably critiquing their implications for ethics and societal frameworks. The opening of the text establishes a framework for understanding philosophy as a system of thought comprising knowledge, emotion, and ethics. Carus emphasizes the importance of truthfulness and objectivity in philosophy, contrasting these with the subjective philosophies exemplified by thinkers like Nietzsche. He characterizes Nietzsche's philosophy as a profound rebellion against traditional thought, presenting criticisms of its implications, particularly the glorification of the "overman" and the rejection of moral norms. The reader is introduced to the dichotomy between objective and subjective conceptions of truth, setting the stage for deeper explorations of Nietzsche's philosophies and their impact on individualism.
