Transvaluation of all Values

#philosophy/nietzsche #card

Coined by Friedrich Nietzsche, the transvaluation of all values, or the revaluation of values, is a philosophical concept that involves reassessing the value of things that are commonly valued. Nietzsche believed in reevaluating things based on their "value for life," which means how much they contribute to the enhancement and preservation of human life.[1]
Nietzsche considered it his goal to transform Europe's value system and move it beyond Christianity.

A majority of Nietzsche's books have the underlying concept of the transvaluation of all values, but it is most apparent in The Antichrist, which was the first in a series of four books that Nietzsche planned[2] on writing on the concept.

  2. Nietzsche never completed the rest of the series. ↩︎
