1. Philosophy / D. Nature of Philosophy / 5. Aims of Philosophy / a. Philosophy as worldly

2930	The main aim of philosophy must be to determine the order of rank among values [Nietzsche]
	Full Idea: The future task of the philosophers is the solution of the problem of value, the determination of the order of rank among values.
	From: Friedrich Nietzsche (On the Genealogy of Morals [1887], I.§17 note)
	A reaction: 'Determine' is presumably either a power struggle, or needs criteria by which to do the judging.
