"The Loneliest Desert": Science and the Ascetic Ideal in Nietzsche's Genealogy

This is a puzzling and counterintuitive claim, yet, I shall attempt to elucidate and defend Nietzsche on this score, arguing that the scientist's attempt to eliminate pretense-like mental states from inquiry is a paradigm case of ascetic activity. Nietzsche's fundamental insight is that science, qua ascetic practise, cannot stand as the required counter-ideal that might banish the ascetic ideal from human life.

Nature and the Will to Power in Malick’s 'The New World'

In other words, it denies the superiority or dominance of rational beings over nature by affirming the natural character of reason. The end result is that human reason turns out to be nothing more than an expression of the ‘blind’ rationality of nature — not an exception to the rule of nature but rather its unmitigated realization. In this sense, it is not that ‘all is life, and life is good’, as though life were eternally beautiful, good or true. On the contrary, all is struggle and conflict, a “war in the heart of nature”, as in The Thin Red Line, and one in which human beings play no special role, in spite of what we might think. It is just that we have the capacity to see this war for what it is.
