Unit 6: The Rise of Modern Western Philosophy — Final exam

Question 48 • Philosophy: The Big Picture

Heidegger would MOST likely agree with which aspect of Nietzsche’s philosophy?

Answer
A
God was dead but higher power still exists.
B
If one found meaning in dominating others, that was fine.
C
Humans have a purpose for being on earth and should follow it.
D
People were aware of their own existence and animals were not.

Explanation

Heidegger emphasized that humans can reflect on their own existence and ask what it means to be. This is close to the view in choice D, that people are aware of their existence in a way animals are not. The other choices either misstate Nietzsche’s ideas or describe a fixed purpose that Heidegger would not be likely to endorse.
