moral feelings, evolutionism, teleologyAbstract
Since his youth years, Nietzsche considers Darwinism as the cultural atmosphere of his time. This «first range view», mediated through Lange and Rée, is not at all alien to his reflections about the origin and nature of moral feelings in his Human, All-too-Human. From 1880 onwards, Nietzsche’s interests focus on Spencer’s evolutionism. His criticism of Spencer’s views will end up by charging Darwinism with teleology and
a one-sided view regarding the struggle for survival. However, there is no doubt that Nietzsche found in Darwinism and in his age’s concerns more than one inspiring topic for his own personal thoughts.
