All Nietzsche’s philosophy starts with lust and ends with illusion. In the dissatisfaction of his carnal art Nietzsche must march on with a will to power (master morality) that is nothing but a monster’s voice within him. What could the art of his philosophy be about after all? Merging the animalistic caprice with beauty? But is not the spirit of beauty itself with the longing for its ideal mightier than the will to power? Nietzsche’s phenomenon is rather another testimony of evil, dwelling in the free-will of human naturalism, implicitly acknowledging the language of truth in the Christian religion.

In Nietzsche’s moral psychology, suspended between the human and not-human, there exists only an animalistic disposition – for this is how Nietzsche uses a debauched aesthetics to mock Christianity. In his fallen state of consciousness, Nietzsche attempts to apply conditional logic to feelings, relying on the instinctive willingness of human nature to be deluded by empirical science.

For Nietzsche, carnal depravity represents not psychological degradation, but rather the truth of the free spirit. Hence, in Nietzsche’s mind, spiritual virtue lies in the animal nature of a man. But the reality is that, despite all his philosophical finery, Nietzsche ends up by resembling more a clever idiot than – as he imagines – a knight in shining armour with the task of saving all mankind.

What the sacred does not plant in the soul will be washed away by vanity.

If Nietzsche had known that he would be laid bare and made a laughing stock, he would have fallen on bended knees and begun to pray.
