I would like to discuss in this paper my own morality. The question of human morality has old roots and, for example, Friedrich Nietzsche discusses it in interesting and understandable way. I think it is necessary to compare my morality with Nietzsche’s definition, because philosopher’s point of view is still not only popular, but it is also has certain sense in our reality.
First of all, I would like to show Friedrich Nietzsche’s position that was demonstrated in the chapter IX: What is Noble, section 260. This concrete chapter explains two variations of morality; I mean “slave morality” and “master morality”. According to Nietzsche, there are many different moralities, and as it was above mentioned, the most common and most important difference between them is that they are divided into two types: the morality of masters and morality of slaves. Thinking about Nietzsche, we should mention that he has a solid reputation as a moral nihilist. It would be strange to defend Nietzsche against this accusation, which he himself has aggressively sought and was very proud. Clichés of moral nihilist reflects Nietzsche’s real position of approximately the same as a wicked cartoon reflects the real person.
It is necessary to say that under the “slave morality” Nietzsche suggests morality in the form in which it was formed under the influence of ancient philosophy and Christian religion, and personified into multiple individually – ascetic, church and charities, community and other humanistic socialist experiments of human solidarity.

First of all, slave morality is created by its claims to unconditionally, absolutely. In this case, morality is identified with the ideal of perfection, the last true word, a kind of absolute principle, which towers over an infinitely real individuals, and potentially by their natural existence seems disappearing small, insignificant. But the master’s morality vice versa shows an idea of superman, who is higher than other people and has another type of thinking.
Analyzing master’s morality we should mark that master is primarily a certain type of man, meaning man in the true sense, who wants to rise to its natural and historic mission. Nietzsche called him a superman. For instance, as a slave can be identified only through the slave morality and Superman can be recognized by the highest morality, nobility of conduct. Superman is differing from other people; it is easily to recognize such person among the thousands of people with slave morality.
Several days ago, I believed that I have a master’s morality, but now thinking about Nietzsche’s definition of two kinds of morality, I understood that my morality is a kind of slave morality. I think that it is not bad and not good, but it is a fact. I was educated in such way by my parents and I am not enough develop my internal qualities of character to consider my morality master’s morality. For example, I believe in democracy and in equality, I think that Nietzsche as philosopher was right in his century, but in our reality not all his thoughts should be accepted as one immovable truth.
Thus, based on our research of Nietzsche’s morality it is necessary to say that his positions are very interesting to study, but they are differs from the conditions of our life exact today and according to the great philosopher, I have slave morality. If to be honest, I disagree with some points of philosopher’s way of thinking and I can define that according to our reality I have master’s morality, because I know what I want in this life, how to achieve my aims and I ready to take all responsibility for my actions. I think that nowadays morality has little bit other characteristics and we need not supermen, but people with kind heart, who know how to live and will be ready to create something new in spite all difficulties and hardships.
