Abstract
Abstract Friedrich Nietzsche’s “transvaluation of values” in his works from The Birth of Tragedy to The Genealogy of Morals and Beyond Good and Evil seems to reject the rationalism of Socrates as well as Kant and Kant’s conviction that there is a single, rational moral law, valid for all human beings, and indeed for all rational beings. Nietzsche’s early work was heavily influenced by Schopenhauer, and he thought of rationality as a thin veneer over a fundamentally irrational reality, and it is not clear however well he ever knew Kant’s own work. But his conception of the “noble” way of life is not so different from Kant’s ideal of human beings getting to set their own ends freely, although he never shared Kant’s concern that everyone has an equal right to live a noble life.
