A Comparative Study of Mohammad Taqi Jafari and Friedrich Nietzsche's Views on the

Mohammad Taqi ja`fari Tabrizi believes that only one may perceive the real meaning of life who distances one`s natural self and attains one`s true self. Taking religion، reason and knowledgeable human nature as models، he introduces reasonable life and views such a life to be meaningful. Friedrich Nietzsche، however، explains nihilism – creating new values and putting them in place of the preceded ones- in four realms of human''s life including those of reality، religion، mystical life and common morality. He has known those acting according to this theory -the will to power- and according to their abilities and talents and not following any pre-established ideals as «surhomme». The will to power in Nietzsche''s thought، as is claimed، has prepared a ground for man to arrive at the highest degree of potency.
