On Nietzsche Chapter 17

This thread will refer
to Nietzsche’s ethical theory in Chapter 12:
Our job this week is to do the
following:
1. What do you think Nietzsche’s primary argument is?
2. Offer one direct quote from the text and try, in your own words, to explain
it (This is what we might call a truth claim – Nietzsche is claiming that this
is true , include page number for quote.)
3. Try to use an example to help you – Your example should be universal not
personal.
4. Offer a counter claim – in other words – imagine you are in
dialogue/conversation with Nietzsche. How would you respond?
5. This week try to offer a counter argument (See the Writing to Reason text to
help you). A counter argument is a series of statements/premises that lead to a
logical conclusion that prove your claim from # 4 to be true. (Hint your
arguments should begin with words like – therefore and because)
