Nietzsche in Beyond Good and Evil : “Philosophers . . . have wanted to furnish the rational ground of morality – and every philosopher hitherto has believed he has furnished this rational ground; morality itse,f however, was taken as a ‘given.’ . . . it is precisely because they were ill informed and not even very inquisitive about other peoples, ages and former times, that they did not so much catch sight of the real problems of morality – for these come into view only if we compare many moralities.”
