"Catholicism??"
I think the word you're looking for is: "Christianity."

The text says: "Nietzsche refers to this crucial paradigm shift as a reevaluation of values.[8] According to Nietzsche, the moral doctrine of Catholicism had become outdated."

My understanding is, the only purpose of the word Catholicism is to differentiate it from Protestantism. (Before the Protestants they were just Christians.) This implies that Nietzsche thought that the moral doctrine of Protestantism was just fine.

It's also interesting to keep in mind that in Nietzsche's time, even more so than today, the word "religion," was almost synonymous with Christianity & the other Abrahamic desert religions, —to the audience and world he was speaking to. I have to wonder if he would use the same terminology if he were writing today? --Doug Bashford 2607:FB91:7986:6207:7025:4DFF:FE62:35E8 (talk) 07:22, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Rüdiger Safranski
This article gives too much emphasis and prominence to Mr. Safranski's ideas and interpretations. One might even be tempted to think that it might be a not-so-subtle attempt at self-promotion of his own ideas and work. There is nothing in Nietzsche's writing which explicitly mentions or promotes, directly or indirectly, the concept or practice of either eugenics or artificial selection. Nietzsche's concept emphasizes qualities of character, not biology. His descriptions of the "Last Man" similarly describe character traits, not biological ones. By putting too much emphasis on Mr. Safranski's interpretations, the article draws an unreasonable amount of attention away from Nietzsche and, more specifically, the theme of the article, and puts the spotlight on a different author espousing unrelated ideas. 73.8.2.185 (talk) 15:23, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
