7185 | Replace the categorical imperative by the natural imperative [Nietzsche] |
Full Idea: Replacement of the categorical imperative by the natural imperative. | |
From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Writings from Late Notebooks [1887], 09[27]) | |
A reaction: This places Nietzsche rather firmly with evolutionary psychologists (who see morality in evolutionary terms), which he probably would not like. I just don't believe we are helpless victims of nature, and nor must we endorse what it asks of us. |
