Ch. 1 - "God and the Meaning of Life"

Dissident Heart

MA: I'm much more interested in using this thread to talk about Wielenberg than Nietszche.

I can't help but see this thread (and I have been reading it's discussions) as a shadow of Nietzsche's critique of morality, his explorations of humanity beyond good and evil, and the attending threats and challenges of nihilism. And if we are looking for the argument (which you repeatedly argue Weilenberg has not offered)

Quote:
MA...that "good" and "evil" belong to the category of words that describe things we find in the natural world, and can therefore be confidently asserted in a naturalistic ethics. It seems more likely to me that they belong to the category of words that represent cultural constructions, and it's hard to get around the apparant fact that these particular constructions were built in a culture of religious thought..

Then, I think Nietzsche is a very valuable resource in providing what Weilenberg hasn't, and offering some potential consequences for ethics if he actually did make the argument.
