Yeah, Genealogy of Morality is especially insightful, as is Beyond Good and Evil. Old Freddy had a remarkable gift for discerning the reality of humanity. He also understood true judgment/freedom and the multifaceted nature of the our moral existence. His philosophy is broad-minded enough to acknowledge meaning through relativity, and does not condemn man to universals and absolutes. Taking the que from Shlegal, I love how he incorporates the subjective conscious experience when comprehending the moral agent. However, he is mistaken on a key issue: what he views as "corruption" of the species, are evolutionary traits rather that de-humanizing ones.

I don't know...

Clarify precisely what you consider him to be mistaken about. In general, I believe that his views on the ecumenical corruption of man are spot on. Provide an example, if you would be so kind.

All I mean is that, these traits of humility, the whole "slave mentality" which Nietzsche labels "corruptive" of the human spirit have existed way before the establishment of the Orthodox faiths and the Church. They have always been aspects of humanity, they have just been articulated and elevated by the Church. Exploitation is life, there have always existed this master/slave distinction. The species admits of great variation and domination by the strong is the way of nature. These are simply the facts of life. With the development of civilizations this difference is strongly illustrated and heightened, as exemplified by aristocratic classes, or globalization. As more power is concentrated in the hand of the few and the masses concede to servitude, "Slave morality" is a necessary adaptaion to modern society. That is why it has become the prevelant world morality. Those with the freedom of will and power, will transcend these moral chains, and exsist outside of it. However, it is a necesary tool of the masses whom we all know lack

Impressive.

That is an exceptionally insightful interpretation of his work, and moreover, your own personal conclusion based on his ideas belies an impressive comprehension of human nature in a societal setting on your part.

I am impressed.
