  Abstract

Friedrich Nietzsche is a prominent thinker in the philosophy of against Christianity and attacking morality. Almost in all of his writings, Nietzsche ignores the presence of morality on one hand; and he advocates the preference of any practice towards behaving master traits and noble characters – master morality. I am arguing that, Nietzsche’s concept of morality should be adjusted in a way to reconcile contradictions by providing a justified explanation unless his total philosophy of morality would fail. In addition, Nietzsche tried to expose as there is no morality and every value is a fabricated result of man as to refer nihilism. There is great paradox as a choice to continue one’s own life while at the same time stating that it is not worth more than any other life and it is the source of critical paradox in relativism.
