In terms of thinking about evil ...

... and what would be its opposite, it is important to understand the very nature of the framework set up in this way and its implications - any point of view that would see things as evil or as good would necessarily be in itself in a dichotomy, and would therefore always be to some extent arbitrary. A thought that is concerned with arriving at the truth, so that man could then be guided by it in his life, is one that must be unison. A man who observes nature, as Heraclitus pointed out, sees the alternation of day and night, winter and summer, life and death, always seeing in experience the constant change of one opposite into another. Thus, a man can arbitrarily set up in thought something as good and something as bad. However, as Nietzsche also pointed out in Beyond Good and Evil, in this way he did not recognize the very nature of what he thus dichotomized and remained limited by his own constructions. Therefore, seeing that all opposites, once set up, imply each other in a way that they alternate and constantly pass into each other, we conclude that they are ultimately one.

U pogledu mišljenja zla i onoga ...

... što bi njemu bilo suprotno, bitno je razumijeti samu prirodu tako postavljenog okvira i njene implikacije- svako gledište koje bi na stvari gledalo kao zlo ili kao dobro nužno bi u sebi bilo u dihotomiji, te bi time uvijek bilo do neke mjere proizvoljno. Mišljenju kojem je stalo doći do istine, kako bi se njome zatim čovjek rukovodio u svom životu, je ono koje mora biti jedinstveno. Čovjek koji motri prirodu, kao što je to Heraklit istaknuo, vidi izmjenjivanje dana i noći, zime i ljeta, života i smrti, u iskustvu uvijek gledajući neprestano sklizanje jedne suprotnosti u drugu. Tako čovjek može proizvoljno postaviti u mišljenju nešto kao dobro i nešto kao loše. No, kao što je i Nietzsche istaknuo u S onu stranu dobra i zla, na taj način nije spoznao samu prirodu onoga što je time dihotomizirao i ostao je ograničen vlastitim konstrukcijama. Stoga, uvidjevši da sve suprotnosti, jednom kada se postave, podrazumijevaju jedna drugu na način da se izmjenjuju i neprestano prelaze jedna u drugu, zaključujemo da su one upravo jedno.

Heraklit-

​

Three questions:

What does the implication that good and evil are one mean?
What is it that a person designates as good and evil, and yet only transcends both opposites?
What is one's guide in practice once the opposite of good and evil has been transcended?

 

Tri Pitanje:

Što znači implikacija da su dobro i zlo jedno?

Što je to što čovjek označi kao dobro i zlo, a samo nadilazi obje suprotnosti?

Čime se rukovoditi u djelovanju jednom kada se nadišlo suprotnost dobro i zlo?
