ABSTRACT
The creation of moralities is necessary for the enhancement of the species, yet the assigning of values is a sign of decadence according to Nietzsche, this is the problem of decadence with which human beings (in particular philosophers) must contend: they must place a value on life, but placing a value on life (even on one’s individual life) is problematic because it involves fracturing the whole of life into pieces. The primary objective in this work is to address Nietzsche’s own battle with the problem of decadence as it applies to individuals. I will argue that in thus battle, Nietzsche carried out a revelation of decadence and transformed himself into a “strong decadent” in calling himself as an example for how other strong types might contend with the problem of decadence.
