Nietzsche convinced that, in people’s heart, they believe that the value of the “good man”higher than the value of the “wicked”. And the thought of morality is so firmly that they neverdoubt. As an outdated, Nietzsche disagreed agree with the general view. He believed that thecurrent moral has become a kind of authority and morality and should be questioned. He askedthat “what are the value and the standard of it, how to judge ‘good and evil’?” Then he list aseries of hypothesis to contrary the current moral: If the “good” contains a regressivesymptoms, including risk, reality pay for future price, as a result, what would be happen, ifhuman beings never reach the highest possible strong and spectacular, the cause of thiscondition is moral mistakes?Nietzsche doubted and probed into the root of moral to investigate the pedigree of it.Nietzsche criticized the prevailing view of the moral historians of morality in the research, andhe thought their arguments about the origin of morality was only poor in deterring the conceptof the origin of “good” and the origin of how to judge. And the hypothecs about the judgmentorigin on the value of “good” is not historical persistence. Simultaneously, Nietzscherecognized the importance of the original literature, discussed the moral origin from the angleof etymology and list a lot of view different with the moral historians. He explained the historyof the origin and development process of the “good” has been distorted, and pointed out thatthe value of “good” originated from the ancient nobility. The “good” has a simple and uniquelevel of standards that Noble are “good” themselves rather than those who accept “good”. Inthe history of the development and changes, the aristocracy is going to decline. But the priestlyespecial the Jewish Christianity breed hatred because of their own incompetence. They tried tochange the value of “noble” to force them to surrender. At last, they completely changed thevalue equation of noble (good=noble=powerful=beautiful=happiness=sacred) andformed the orientation “value” which “only suffering is the good man”.In the research of the pedigree of moral, Nietzsche thought the value equation ofaristocratic has been distorted and destroyed, the value of “good” and “evil” appeared upsidedown and modern morality is dangerous. At the same time, Nietzsche described his own twomoral type and principle: the master morality and slave morality. He reassessed all previousmoral and thought the Plato’s idealism morality and Christian morality as a representative ofmodern moral are weak and decadent, which is the slave morality, should be criticized andabandoned. Then a brave and strong vitality moral called master morality should beestablished. The will to power as a kind of life will is the core of master morality andSuperman’s temperament that affirms positive self-life wills, advocates self-gift, encourages self-beyond is the appearance of it. Based on the revaluation of all values in the past,Nietzsche pointed out that the modern morals and moral education is a kind of authority andtyranny to lead people’s weakness and hypocrisy. And he advocated establishing a newmorality which affirms self-life wills, self-beyond based on revaluation of all values. Thisview is shock to the common customs but has a special value to personal growth andeducation.
