EETHOS AND “BLONDE BESTIE”. APORIES OF NIETZSCHE’S CRITIQUE OF MORAL

Abstract

This paper’s intention is to critically interpret Nietzsche’s critique of moral. Theauthor initially analyzes the meaning of Nietzsche’s main “ethical” notions: die Moral, die Moralität,die Sitte and die Sittlichkeit. The analysis reveals that those notions are not free of contradictionsin their philosophical and ethical foundation. It is shown that Nietzsche’s critique ofmoral does not apply to the moral phenomenon itself, but to customs, social conventions andconformism instead. That is the contradiction in Nietzsche’s critique of moral. The author thusextends the contradiction in question to the whole of Nietzsche’s philosophy, because the relationbetween separate teachings within it shows itself as that of the teleology of antiteleology.
