Abstract

In this article, it has
been aimed to examine Nietzsche’s main critique towards different
understandings of morals in his era. With this criticism, it is aimed to
integrally understand the opinions -which are articulated directly or
metaphorically- towards morals which have been encountered. In here,
while keeping in mind the difference between the concepts of immoralism
and amoralism, Nietzsche’s views are interpreted. Being parallel to that
aim mentioned above, it has been investigated if there is a thinking in
Nietzsche which can be seen as a kind of understanding of morals (maybe
as the understanding of morals without morals) or not. And finally, it
has been thought that if Nietzsche’s views on morals have any value for
the 21st century and upcoming 22nd Century human or not, if there’s
something left to learn for this human from his critiques or not.
