To solve a dilemma between unescapable selfishness of human nature and “the absence of all egoistical motivation” as “a criterion for an action of moral worth”, the concept is proposed to distinguish Ethics and Morality, ethical behavior and moral actions. Code of ethical behavior, Ethical Contract is founded on men’s recognition of mutual benefits, even necessity, of establishing and enforcing of the rules of behavior in human communities. Morality, rare moral actions of the highest order, is founded on human nature, on men’s virtues: loving kindness, compassion.
Conversation with Nietzsche is the attempt to share the joy and torment of facing abysses of the human existence which the great insights of genius shows us.
Afterword is the expression of the horror of witnessing the ruinous influence of the alliance of Popular Culture and Technology on spiritual life of Modern Men.
