This study attempts to explain the critiques of morality leveled by the 19th-century philosopher Nietzsche. Nietzsche emerges as a contrarian figure who stands within the Western philosophical tradition while simultaneously radically criticizing it. Known as a philosopher synonymous with the phrase “philosophizing with a hammer,” Nietzsche aims to uncover the roots of the philosophical tradition that has endured until his time, to demolish its foundations and rebuild it on new values. Nietzsche sees Socrates and the values established by the Socratic tradition as the source of Western thought and morality. According to Nietzsche, these values, which disregard this world, prioritize the afterlife, and drive humanity toward nihilism, derive their source from the “supersensible” world, which they envision as truth. According to Nietzsche, values that hold that our actions in this world are good to the extent that they conform to their examples in the world of eternal ideas, and that otherwise are evil, and that foster resentment toward life, despise life and create an unnatural afterlife in opposition to the natural. Accordingly, Nietzsche’s role was to highlight the realities of the lived world rather than preoccupy himself with the afterlife. In response to questions such as, “What is life? What is the meaning of life?”, Nietzsche defines life as the will to power. According to Nietzsche, every living being has a desire for power everywhere. Humanity’s true desire is the desire to be more powerful. This will to power is what makes us human. According to Nietzsche, who defines life as the will to power, the morality of the time and the values of Christianity are obstacles to the will to power. For Nietzsche, if the purpose of life is to live, this life should be to create values through the will to power and to live according to these created values. However, the Christian tradition and the values of Western humanity championed an understanding dominated by compassion, highlighting human weaknesses. Such a life values suffering, disparages the body, and denies life. On the other hand, Nietzsche reveals the superman who is motivated by the will to power, that is, the man who stands against all the rotten values of his age and who manages to go beyond the good and evil valid in his age, who surpasses himself and creates new values.
