History of Morals

A moralist is aware about the contrasting views of moral feeling in Europe . As such , the

of being refined , old and sensitive is associated with awkwardness and being young

pertaining to the said moral feeling . The term Science of Morals ' is also considered arrogant and

opposite to good taste . Nietzsche provides the preliminaries before a person understands the theory

of types of morality . First

, a person must admit that he needed to do things that are necessary

Second , there is a need to assemble and organize in a conceptual manner the set of delicate feelings

of value as well as its differences to be justified in a situation

Nietzsche is also taking a perspective with respect to philosophers who are trying hard to

understand morality as a science . He is also aware that these philosophers are finding for the

rational basis of morality and to be able to provide the same . The problem with this is that , the said

philosophers are not aware that morality is something given (Johnston , 2008 ,

phenomenon was explained by Nietzsche that in to have a wide variety of the knowledge

pertaining to moral facts , there should be an effort to compare several moralities

Moreover , it was pointed out by Nietzsche that there is a lack of problem related to the

science of morality . There was even no suspicion that there wa a problem on morality . Good faith is

also seen as a denial that there was a problem of morality . One principle that will enhance ethics is

the thought that , one should hurt no one , instead help everyone as much as you can (Johnston , 2008

values so that the possibility of an existence of man in the future although there is overall
