ABSTRACT

The purpose of this thesis is to explore how correct ethical judgment is possible without a universal standard through Nietzsche's critique of the ethical judgment standard of good and evil. We must examine what good and evil are and whether this standard is a reasonable and useful standard for our lives. If this standard is not valid, it will be necessary to reexamine the ethical judgments available in our time. Nietzsche does not believe that there should be an ethical standard that can define the value of life. Such standards are rather just a value system that makes life worse, and in itself is just a fiction and an error. Therefore, Nietzsche does not ask new ethical standards, but rather asks what actions are valuable in our lives. In other words, we ask what kind of behavior we evaluate as ethical, and why the behavior is valuable when we evaluate it as ethical. From Nietzsche's perspective, moral valuation is just one way of interpreting various actions and relationships in life. For an action to be said to be moral, the action must be sufficiently valuable from a moral standpoint. But if we cannot answer the question of what is actually moral, then in reality the value of the act must be evaluated according to its usefulness in life. In other words, the value should be done according to how the act affects a specific relationship. And the foundation should be our lives, that is, naturality.
