Originally posted by Andrew Hamiltonmmm, so knowing when there is doubt is a mark of intelligence, right ok, that makes sense, although it still does not solve the problem of reducing the uncertainty, so let me ask you this Andrew, i have been reading some philosophy, Nietzsche, beyond good and evil, not because i want to adopt the ideas, but to try to determine why he rejected Christianity and what he formed, in his own mind as the alternative.
[b]…lol, why does one associate intelligence with an inability to determine what is even right or wrong, ..…
That is not what he meant. He wasn’t implying that intelligent people have an unusual inability to determine what is so but, rather, intelligent people have a greater ability to determine when we should be uncertain of what is so which as I type this (and I have heard that there is a very nasty one going around in my area 🙁 ).[/b]
the first part is relatively simple it was the death of his father and perhaps sickness and the struggle for life, but it seems to me that he failed, quite profoundly to establish an alternative morality, therefore do you think that it is possible for a human to transcend ideas of good and evil and formulate a universal morality and if so, how? and also what is this new morality, why is it better than what went before?
