I am not sure what I am going to explore in my final paper, but I would like to discuss Nietzsche's philosophy and compare that to Kant's. Kant proposes "Categorical Imperative," which means that an action is only right if it can be a rule for everyone all the time. There are fixed rules in the universe for everyone to follow. Nietzsche, on the other hand, claims that there are slave and master morality in this world. Nobles' will to power create the master morality for themselves and slave morality for common people to follow. In this paper, I will explain both Kant's and Nietzche's ideas. I will also explore how might Nitezeche's theory be a response to Kant. Lastly, I will explore the possibility of the existence of "Superman" that transcends all values and keeps evolving, since such a person may lose integrity.
