Discussion 2: Hume/Nietzsche

For the discussion, complete these tasks:

1. Answer the discussion prompt in 6-8 sentences, including a direct quote from Nietzsche.

Discussion prompt: In the reading, Nietzsche says many provocative and even disturbing things as he promotes aristocratic ethics and criticizes priestly ethics. Give a quote from the reading that stands out to you in this regard, explain what it means, and give your assessment or reaction to it.

Required quote: Draw your quote from the assigned Nietzsche reading, which begins halfway through Chapter 11 with the paragraph that reads “7. You will have already guessed…” Don't quote from the earlier half of the chapter, since we are not reading that. Put your quote in quotation marks and use the in-text citation (Nietzsche, 1887/2010, section ___).
