The Influence of Nietzsche and Weber on Relativism

This chapter explores the influence of Friedrich Nietzsche and Max Weber on the concept of relativism. The speakers discuss the formation of subjective values and their impact on modern understandings of good and bad. They also analyze the implications of Nietzsche's belief in a perpetual war of systems of value and Weber's distinctions between facts and values, highlighting how these ideas have led to a crisis of confidence in our own moral beliefs.
