I've made some good progress on my paper comparing Kant and Nietzsche's ideas about morals. I found that explaining Kant's rules was easier than I thought, especially the part where he says you should act in a way that could work as a rule for everyone. But, explaining Nietzsche's ideas was a bit trickier because he thinks that what's right or wrong can change depending on who you are and what you believe. I've started to write about some examples to show how their ideas would work in real life. One question I'm still trying to figure out is how to explain why Nietzsche believes that not everyone should follow the same moral rules without making it sound like he thinks it's okay to do bad things just because you're strong or creative. I'm also curious about how these two views would handle a situation where someone's personal freedom might hurt others. I want to make sure I explain this clearly so it makes sense why both their ideas could be useful but also have some problems.
