Nietzsche

The Morality of Passions by Nietzsche presents a view of man's relationship with passion contrary to the tradition and thought of major religion and proclaimed moral gurus. His main criticism of the way the church deals with passion is that it does not suggest spiritualizing the feelings that we all have approaching them as beautiful and good, but makes a thoughtless and quick judgement immediately. "The most famous formula for this stands in the New Testament, in the Sermon on the Mount, where, let it be said incidentally, things are by no means regarded from a height. It is said there, for instance, with an application to sexuality: 'If the eye offend thee, pluck it out" Consider the concept of euthanasia, the first instinct you have is that you are killing someone and it is wrong. If this is approached from a point of view that considers the mental and physical anguish that the agonized person is suffering from, an educated and thought out decision would be to consider the concept of life on a human level and help the suffering person rather than adhere to the law of not killing.

Nietzsche's next point is that not all men have the ability to spiritualize their passion. Some people must resort to the extremes of fighting passion rather than embracing and interpreting it. These people are labeled as degenerates by Nietzsche. "Only degenerates find radical methods indispensable: weakness of will, or more strictly speaking, the inability not to react to a stimulus, is in itself simply another form of degeneracy." This is another attack on the church, an expression of his belief that the church is only right for people with a weak will and the inability to moderate their passion.

The conclusion of the essay The Morality of Passion does not in any way suggest that morality itself should be gone from existence, but is indeed necessary. It is all the ignorance and craziness of the world that gives us p
