Nietzsche considered that the Law of Moses to be illogical and rejected it as an arbitrary obligation which curbed the vitality of the real world. By contrast, the ethics of Greek virtue recognized human merit and creativity. Yet, despite Greek thought and Nietzsche, the western mind still upheld a sense of moral obligation, especially for those in power. The tension between Athens’ ethical virtue and Jerusalem’s morality has been built into the western cultural mind.
