Date: Fri, 16 Jun 1995 15:31:56 -1200 From: sdavidr-AT-iconz.co.nz (David Rawnsley) Subject: Nietzsche Morality I have this question that has been given to me regarding Nietzsches morality. It goes thusly:- Neitzsche suggests that there are two kinds of morality,"master" and "slave" morality. What we simply call "morality" is actually slave morality, he argues and he traces the history of our moral concepts through a "genealogy". The suggestion is that slavish attitudes - cowardice and resentment - motivate our moral behaviour. Do you think that this is so? Would such a genealogy, if true, undermine the justification of morality? I have only recently become interested in Nietzches view points and was wondering if anyone could help me with this question? Possibly guide me to the text in which this point is laid out. Thanks in advance David --- from list nietzsche-AT-jefferson.village.virginia.edu --- ------------------
