Nietzsche's "attack on morality" resonates with people who find the traditional rules and principles of morality to be too confining. Write an essay in which you first explain Nietzsche's critique of traditional ("slave") morality and his argument for a new ("master") morality. The second part of your essay should critically discuss Nietzsche's argument, especially his claim that traditional
morality arises out of a kind of trick perpetuated by the weak that is an obstacle to creativity. Do you agree? Is there a way of being moral that does not involve the "slave" mentality? Can one be moral and live artistically and creatively? How might morality and creativity be interrelated?
What will be an ideal response?
This essay starts off with an exposition of Nietzsche's critique of morality and then allows the students to critically explore Nietzsche's provocative framework.
