Module 7 quiz n 1 5 / With which of the following statements would Nietzsche most likely agree? Most of the core tenets of Christian doctrine are false, but the Christian notion of justice provides a solid foundation upon which the morality of the future should be built. The problem with Christianity is that it lacks a conception of absolute morality. The ethics of Christianity are the highest and noblest expression of ethics so far developed in the course of human history. Christian morality acts illegitimately when it absolutizes, universalizes, and divinizes itself. Question 2 0 / 5 points Which of the following statements best captures the problem with the universalization of morality in Nietzsche’s view? Universalized morality is atheistic because it supports the notion that we do not need God to be good. Universalized morality permits of no other interpretation, thereby censoring difference and uniqueness and squelching individuality. The universalization of morality causes a gap between the “haves” and the “have-nots” because only people of wealth can truly be moral. All of the above are correct. Question 3 5 / 5 points Which of the following statements is most in agreement with Nietzsche’s epistemological position? The categories that human beings use to make sense of the world are necessary and universal. The categories furnished to us by the natural sciences are the only reliable guide for making sense of the world. The categories that human beings use to make sense of the world are “useful fictions” but they do not give us the literal “truth” of the world. We cannot have absolute knowledge now, but the human species will attain absolute knowledge in the future, when Geist and the world are finally reconciled.

Question 4 5 / 5 points Which of the following statements is most in agreement with Nietzsche’s perspectivism? We will only know the truth after we die and meet our Creator in Heaven. There are no facts, only interpretations. The truth will set you free. The truth of the whole must be deciphered by means of dialectical mediation. Question 5 5 / 5 points First and foremost, Nietzsche’s proclamation that “God is dead” means: God not literally dead, but “hidden” in that he no longer manifests himself in the world like he did in the days of the Hebrew Scriptures. God exists, but he is unwilling to intervene when innocent humans suffer because he is evil. there used to be a God, but then he died on the cross and Calvary and no longer lives. the God of Christian morality can now be seen for what he is, namely, the product of will to power and ressentiment . Question 6 5 / 5 points Nietzsche’s critique of religion is aimed primarily at: demonstrating that materialism is true. overcoming the moral God. showing that you can have faith in God without adhering to organized religion. arguing that religion is the opium of the people. Question 7 5 / 5 points With which of the following statements would Nietzsche most probably agree? Kant’s critique of metaphysics makes a valid point, but it goes too far.
