Abstract

Nietzsche's values criticism evaluates the origin of values. Traditional philosophy considers that values comes from either methaphisycal or theological source. This exceptional origin gives principles their validity. The german thinker proposes an opposite thesis: values do not come from a metaphisycal origin, but from a reality exposed to change, contingency and chance. This idea allows to consider values as human creations susceptible of revision. Values criticism provokes that inherited and well known values turn alien to us. Likewise, it allows to uncover what hides under traditional values, that is, the nihilistic nature of western fundamental principles.
