Nietzsche’s concept succeeds to
understand the basic presupposition of human’s revenge, but it fails to
understand the basic presupposition of society in Punishment. Nietzsche assumes
that human has two presuppositions in revenge: without wishing to harm, and
wishing harm. But he fails to understand the basic presupposition of society in
punishment because he sees that revenge is same as punishment.
Nietzsche divides the basic
presupposition of Revenge to be two kinds: without wishing to harm and wishing
to harm. Without wishing to harm is called self-preservation which will be done
by human solely as reflect of self defense. It means that every people will
give similar action when they get harassment from the others without intension
that they do it to harm. They just reply what you have done to them. Opposite
of that, Wishing to harm is called restoration, the revenge strongly to reply
your harassment. It based on the assumption that people need to restore their
honor, their dignity in front of the other. People who get harassment from
other people feel un-equal, no confident and weak, so that way they will do as
same as they have got, harassment has to be replied by harassment. Nietzsche
has succeeded to understand the basic presupposition of human’s revenge.
But when Nietzsche equal revenge
as a punishment in society, he fails to understand that individuality and
society is different. Based on John Locke’s concept, society is built by
contract social. It means that everyone has to admit and follow the rule of
society which was created and agreed by them such as norm and constitution.
They will get punishment when they cut off those rules. The basic
presupposition in society is co-understanding to follow their rules, no revenge
in society. Punishment is an impact of our mistakes, nor revenge. Society never
revenges themselves, because revenge solely happens as a reaction to the
others, nor themselves.
. Nietzsche fails when he sees
that Individuality and society is similar because they are totally different. His
failure happens when his concept about revenge is equaled to punishment in
society. No revenge such as self-preservation and restoration in ourselves
moreover our society, it just an impact of our mistake such as cutting of the
rules which we made as a contract among each people.
