Debate: CONSCIENCE: IS THERE A UNIVERSAL MORAL LAW?
Side: No

I have to disagree with you that it is in reference to just one human being because "in philosophy, the superior man, who justifies the existence of the human race.""I'm sorry, but any way I look at this, it seems like you are arguing against yourself here. Maybe you are misunderstanding what this means. By "Justifying the existence of the human race" Nietzsche refers to the individuals who make the entire existence of humanity meaningful, not the other way around. For Nietzsche, only 1 out of maybe hundreds of thousands (not a figure found in his writings, I'm just using it to provide an example) will be an Ubermensch, while the rest are members of the what he uncharitably calls "the herd." This is a philosophy all about individuals, and the idea that Nietzsche would have supported the idea of a "master race" is preposterous to me, having studied his work closely.Hitler was a moral objectivist. It is clearly expressed in his work that he believed he was:"acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord." (Mein Kampf). He selectively chose sections of Nietzsche, misinterpreted them, and used them to justify his position. His life bears no resemblance to Nietzsche's philosophy of life of to his hypothetical ideal man. Nietzsche was a relativist, Hitler an objectivist. Just because Hitler misunderstood Nietzsche and used those confused beliefs to justify some of his actions does not count against relativism any more than the average Christian's perverse misunderstanding of Christ counts against objectvism."After all, Nietzche's idea was to do away with God. Indeed, Hitler did lived it to the letter."What? This is a really obtuse caricature of Nietzsche. His idea was not to do away with God at all, but rather that we should learn how to live well in a world where God is "no longer worthy of belief". If you read Nietzsche at some point, you will see how filled his works are with notions of spirituality. However, his spirituality is located in the physical realm rather than a supernatural realm. Nietzsche was an atheist, and Hitler believed in God:"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before in the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice.... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people.... When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom to-day this poor people is plundered and exploited." (From a speech by Hitler in 1922)
