Friedrich Nietzsche

Throughout this week we have been discussing in class the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche's work Beyond Good and Evil, discusses the origin of morals into to to different groups. The groups consisted of: what is good or bad and what is good or evil. The concept of morality comes from the weaker group the ones that choose between good and evil. The good and evil group have a "slave" morality, consisting of things in society that most deem as undesirable, The slave-morality group sees things differently from the good and bad group. The good and bad group concentrate on the strength and weakness of the body, strength being good and weakness being bad. While the good and evil group do not follow the inequality of the other group and choose to create their own for of what is right by escaping and getting away from their inferiority of the other group. Creating what we consider as morals. Do you feel that Nietzsche's representation of moralities is accurate? Tell me in the comments below.
