Western traditional moral cultivation theory

Nietzsche's moral philosophy is the mechanical metaphysics of morality and life. Nietzsche's starting point and purpose is to give meaning to life. First of all, he denied the old moral concept from the perspective of life; Secondly, he called for new moral values from the perspective of life. As a result, his moral philosophy formed two opposites. In Broken Stand, he systematically criticized the anti-life essence of traditional morality based on natural life. In addition, he also constructed a new morality based on natural life and its essence, all of which originated from his metaphysical attitude towards the world, life and morality.

Nietzsche reevaluates all values and thinks that traditional morality is slave morality, which is of historical significance to break through the shackles of Christian belief and its morality. But we can see Nietzsche's irrational side, because if we expand the strong will, there will be a cruel struggle between the strong will, so people will hurt each other.

In Nietzsche's view, since it is dominated by a strong will, it is moral, even cruel, but not immoral. It should be noted that if morality does not follow the rational principle, it will embark on the irrational road. Because religious morality is irrational, Nietzsche's morality will be irrational, and Nietzsche actually just changed the moral form from one irrational extreme to another.

Whether Nietzsche is a genius or a madman has aroused heated discussion among people from all walks of life. However, a genius and a madman are originally a heart, and they both have spiritual worlds that ordinary people can't understand. If believers say so, or opponents say so, there is no dispute. Just as we used to judge materialism and idealism in our minds, philosophy is not something that ordinary people can understand when they are young.
