Velkaannuttaminen ja maksaminen kristillisessä moraalissa – Friedrich Nietzsche talousmetafysiikan kriitikkona
In-debting/To in-debt and pay in Christian Morality. Friedrich Nietzsche as a Critic of Metaphysical Economy
In Zur Genealogie der Moral Friedrich Nietzsche suggests that morals should be examined as a relationship between a creditor and a debtor. An individual is a subject who pays his debt to the community, ancestors and God. According to Nietzsche a moral Christian gets into debt when he is made to believe in guilty conscience, the concept of sin and free will. He has pangs of conscience and pays his debt by either treating others badly (pay back) or by treating himself badly (remorse). Contrary to Christian morals by which one pays back in a cruel, unconscious and secret manner, archaic ethics rely on ceremonial rules, refined respect and benevolence.
