All things Philosophical. discussion

I noted that we had a topic for epistemology. There are two other topics I've found associated in the past year one being axiology. This being the study of what is valuable and when tied to beliefs: What do we believe is valuable.

I am quite interested to know whether or not this has brought you to a point where Nietzsche has come up? I mean in terms of his famous 're-valuation of all values'.

Can you explain what you mean? I know a little about Niesche as I do know a little about most of the major players in the ideologies but I know little about his re-evaluation of all values. Is that something to do with the idea of questioning whether anything holds value on its own but that value comes from what we as humans identify it to possess? For instance a gemstone is only valuable because I give it value?

I should have iterated what it was before asking if you knew about it as that would actually make sense. It has to do with his general plan and his reversal of everything moral from it being how not to live to it being about the reaffirmation of life and the passions. This also translates roughly into his comments about religion and more specifically Christianity. The Genealogy of Morals and Twilight of The Idols + The Antichrist would be the two books I would recommend. Idols and Antichrist are usually printed in the same book. Beyond Good and Evil is also very good on morality and the subversion of traditional ethics. It does also have bearing on his comments about how "there are no moral phenomena, only moral interpretations" thereof. He was against any system which put value on piety and other forms of limiting the natural passions of man. He referred to this kind of belief that one is better by resisting oneself and becoming arrogant and puffed up about this as a special form of Decadence. (If I could find the way to accentuate that to show that it is a more technical term I would have done so).
