Hello, I need to write an essay on existentialism. The only primary source I can use is the genealogy of morals. I finished the book, but I can think of nothing that can be argued for or against. I agree with nietzsche on everything, even if I was to disagree I'm not gonna go learn latin and check his sources. Please give me some hints or direction to where I should look, thank you.

I'm getting sick and tired of all these god damned existentialism help blogs.

More seriously, you really have absolutely no leads? I don't know much about existentialism with my limited philosophy education, so I can't steer you in the right direction, but I'm surprised that you can be content with that entire book yet can't think of even a few ideas to bounce off us...

No.... + Show Spoiler [abridged for zulu] +
It was facetious, and implied satire of the usual problem with the same help topics over and over in blogs

That book actually shows an existential failure...the MC has an existential epiphany at his death...for the rest of the book, he's a mere absurdist more or less.

at OP: I haven't studied existentialism closely yet...I'm signed up for that class next quarter...haha.

Though if you can't find something to argue about, that's a waste...philosophy is all about discourse and debate...haha. One of the professors at my school said something along the lines of, "In philosophy, any field of study has constant debate going on. People will nitpick and tear apart anything and everything, trying to find everything wrong with it. Then once there's no more problems, we kind of stop talking about it."

Try maybe the meaning of life?

Doesn't exisitentialism say we die, that's it, kapoot? We make the choice on how to live blah blah blah, but possibly a hefty arguement on what's the meaning in all of it? If you believe there is no meaning then use Nietzsche to back you up.

can you arrange a meeting with the professor or TA? never hurts to ask for help as long as you've studied the material and it's far enough in advance of the due date. all my best papers involved a 1 on 1 meeting with the prof

If all else fails, try reconstructing Nietzsche's arguments and develop them yourself. Take his arguments, reduce them logically (if you can), and work from there trying to prove it on your own.

Also, another good thing to do is find major outside criticisms and try to refute them, or at least look into what they're trying to do.

Well...that formula works well for more contemporary western philo...like epistemology, linguistics and whatnot...I dunno about the older stuff.
