Abstract

For Nietzsche, morality and values do not arise from an innate conscience nor a «pure» reason which must struggle with instincts and natural inclinations, as Kant taught, but morality is a human creation as a response to certain requirements of vital and historic dynamic of humans in their struggle for existence and from their need to adapt to the environment and develop. In all societies, the process of humanization, that is, access to culture and the overcoming of animality, was carried out by one or another type of moral education, which is responsible for shaping the chaos of the natural life of the individual’s instincts.
