Nietzsche: Life, Work, and the Superman
Nietzsche’s Life and Historical Context
Nietzsche (1844-1900), an author as influential in popularity as Heidegger and Deleuze, studied classical philology (he was a Professor of Greek) and had a close friendship with Richard Wagner, who influenced his aesthetics and conveyed to him non-Christian behavior, contrary to the tradition of their parents.
He lived in the second half of the nineteenth century, a period marked by many revolutions that enhanced ties between science and economy in Europe:

The Union of Castile and Aragon
The union of Castile and Aragon began in 1469 with the marriage of Prince Ferdinand, son and heir of John II, King of the Crown of Aragon, and Princess Isabella, sister of Henry IV, King of Castile. Upon the death of his father in 1479, Ferdinand became King of the Crown of Aragon. That same year, Queen Isabella of Castile was imposed after a civil war (1475-1479) against her niece Juana la Beltraneja. The union of the Castilian and Aragonese territories did not entail

Staff and Material Requirements
What about additional staff? It is essential. I know that I am supported by the Delegate of Justice of Cordoba. The prosecution did not charge us; we are also dependent on officials in Andalusia. I have also requested staff for expansion.
And the material? Increasingly, the prosecution of Cordoba is very demanding regarding the computer systems provided to us. I know that there is progress, but when we detect faults—and they are detected—we would be better off.

Strategic planning is the process of developing and maintaining a strategic fit between the organization’s goals and capabilities and its changing environment. Strategic planning sets the stage for all other planning in the firm.

Kant vs. Marx: Comparing Theories of History
Taking the theory of history as a thread, let’s compare Marx to Kant. We begin with three similarities between both authors.
Similarities Between Kant and Marx
- For both, history is a dialectical structure. Kant, like Marx, argues that history suffers apparent setbacks that may have a sense since the present is not easy to determine. History, as Kant conceives it, is dynamic, and historical movements could be explained dialectically.
- For both authors, there
Nietzsche and Ortega: Relationships in Philosophy
Nietzsche’s Relationship with Plato and Postmodernism
Nietzsche’s philosophy can be related to previous authors, sometimes in agreement, sometimes in contrast, and often concerning more modern, postmodernist thought. Postmodernism relates Nietzsche to Plato. Plato’s philosophy is dualistic and covers a wide range of arguments. He separated body and soul in man, giving the soul divine qualities while disparaging the body. Nietzsche appears here with his first disagreement: you cannot override the

19th Century Liberalism
Liberalism is an ideology that has its basis in the principles of the Enlightenment. It proposes a new form of organization that affects political, social, and economic development.
Its main precursors were philosophers and thinkers of the Enlightenment (18th century), before the French Revolution. The American and French Revolutions attempted to implement liberal ideas, which were confirmed in the United States but initially failed in Europe.
Throughout the 19th century, many

Spanish Disentailment & Fueros Amendment Acts of 1841 & 1855
General Disentailment, 1855
This is a legal text, a decree issued by the Spanish Parliament in 1855, outlining the economic policy of liberalism. We attribute its authorship to the Minister of Finance, the progressive liberal Pascual Madoz, promoter of this law, which was ultimately approved by the Parliament and signed by Queen Elizabeth II. The place of issue was Madrid, headquarters of the Courts and the Government. The date, 1855, falls within the “Progressive Biennium” (1854-1856).
