Philosophy 103
Study questions: Nietzsche
1. Nietzsche disinguishes
between two different kinds of moralities: those containing an
opposition
of good and bad and those containing an
opposition of good and evil.
How does he describe
each of these? What
characterizes
them? Which type does he think is superior?
2. Throughout the course one of the questions we have focused on
is:
What is human nature?
What, at bottom, are human beings
like?
(Rational? Self-interested? Sympathetic?)
Given this reading from
Nietzsche,
how would you describe his view of human
nature? How does he
think
certain types of morality corrupt our nature?
