Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

It was actually Nietzsche who warned against the leveling effects of Christian slave morality. It was likewise Nietzsche who in the introduction to Der Wille zur Macht describes “nihilism” as the portentous “history of the Western world for the next two hundred years.” Nietzsche claimed to be composing a “fragment out of the history of a post-Christian epoch,” as someone who could draw on both Greek fatalism and intimations of a post-nihilistic future. One may not agree with such claims but they have nothing to do with moral relativism. In fact Nietzsche would have been the first to recognize the character of moral relativism, as a dishonest form of slave morality. --Paul Gottfried, Understanding Nietzsche, First Principles, February 2, 2009
