Abstract

Nietzsche takes two aspects for the origin of values. On the one hand he is faithful to the most prominent aspect of the western thought, the thought that takes the world as a whole, and thus considers the world as the active and passive forces that bring the life into existence. In his thought life has at its heart a kind of obligation that forces us to apply the values, and when we respect the values the life would become valuable. On the other hand, by turning to the slave and master morality in his philosophy, and pointing that that was masters who construct the value and valuing, he attributes another origin to values. This antinomy encounters his philosophy with a challenge that must be overcome by any accurate and coherence reading. In this article, alongside with analyzing master and slave moralities, we attempt to eliminate this antinomy and render a coherent reading of the origin of values in Nietzsche's philosophy. a pre-subjective view to the origin of values and do not let us evaluate life by some thing beyond it. On the other hand, by turning to the slave and master morality in his philosophy, and pointing that that was masters who construct the value and valuing, he attributes another origin to values.
