Justice and Economy from Human, All Too Human to Thus Spake Zarathustra

Rainer Kattel ()

Chapter 11. in Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900), 2006, pp 209-227 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This essay argues that in Nietzsche’s critique of morality — in particular during the time he wrote from Human, All Too Human to Thus Spake Zarathustra —, two basic modes of relation of the human being to the world come apparent, viz., practical wisdom and technical skill. Nietzsche discusses these through the phenomena of justice and the economy. Discussing Nietzsche’s understanding of the nature of human action and of technical skill, the essay shows that for him, both the morality of principles and industrialized economic activity have become nihilistic in mass society.
