Nietzsche

Abstract: A 5 page examination of the views of the German philosopher Nietzsche and Socrates in regard to morality. Contends that although Nietzsche is most for what is perceived as his opposition to morality while Socrates is remembered for his quest to define morality and what it means to act in a morally responsible way, both agree that life is an ongoing struggle between the values of just and unjust, right and wrong, admissibility and shamefulness. Although the popular perception of Nietzsche is that he opposes morality, a closer look at this man and his writings reveals that he saw morality as being defined by the same factors by which Socrates saw it being defined. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
