2,071 words (approx. 8.3 pages) | 2 sources | MLA | 2006 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper presents two views of morality, those of Kant and Nietzsche, and discusses how each philosopher justifies his viewpoint. Additionally, the paper shows that while Kant's concept of morality is more positive than Nietzsche's, it is Nietzsche's view that is more consistent with reality.

From the Paper:

"According to Kant, the same principles that apply to reason also give way to an equal application in dealing with the problems of moral philosophy. Generally speaking, Kant believed that moral judgments deal with how the world should be, not how the world truly is. Because of this, morality can not be derived from experiences, because experience can only tell humans how things really are. Kant assumed, then, that morality must be a priori, since they are independent of the true state of the world around us."
