however, NietZsche has attacked it in
the same destructive spirit that Vol
ta1re In the last century attacked the
metaphysics of the church, and with
even keener irony, and with a Gull
ture tncomparably more adequate To
formulate and advance a new moral
doctrine, to take new attitude toward
life, and deduce from 1t new estimates
of what is good and what is bad-that
was his single and unflinching purpose
Everywhere he announces himself as
a breaker of old values, a creator of
new values'-using the word values to
signify that which is valued and es-
teemed in the conduct, achievements
and attainments of men"
In support of this, the following from
Nietzsche himself is quoted:
For a long time, much too long, man
has looked askance at his natural in
c!inations, and has succeeded in con-
Meeting them with the bad conscience
The very reverse of this might be at
tempted with success, but who dares
try it? Who is strong enough? The
way to do it would be to take all in
clinations that are contrary to nature,
all that are anti-senSual, anti-fnstinc-
tive, anti-animal, in short, all ideals
that have hitherto been known, for
they all are hostile to life, all abusive
of life, and to couple these themselves
with the bad conscience In whom
today could we put these our hopes, on
whom impose such exigencies?"
