I think Nietzsche is an immoralist in the higest sense. This does not beliece that he does not believe in ethics, however, that is another topic. In EH Why I am a destiny 4. He says: "Fortunately the world has not been constructed for the satisfaction of the instincts such as would permit merely good natured herd animals to find their narrow happiness in it; to demand that everything should become good man, herd animal, blue eyed (This is an attack on Wagner), benevloent, beautiful soul or as Mr. Herbert Spencer wants, altruistic, would mean to deprive existence of its great character, would mean to castrate mankind and to reduce it to paltry Chinadom. - And this has been attempted!...Precisely this has been called morality....In this sense Zarathustra calls the good now the last men...most harmful species to mankind, because they preserve their existence as much at the expense of truth as at the expense of the future." How can he not be an immoralist? Dan. --- from list nietzsche-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
