Vis a vis morality‚ for us to lay the foundation of the understanding of the term‚ I deemed it necessary to search for its meaning and I found in Cambridge Advanced Learners Dictionary: Third Edition that morality is a personal or social set of standards for good or bad behavior and character or the quality of being right‚ honest‚ or acceptable. Taking from the definition itself‚ we can draw out a conclusion that morality is more of a personal encounter of what is morally good or right. It might

have to get rid of one or the other‚ but Nihilism theories seem to have a lot less explanatory power than do dualistic ones to me. In this paper I will argue that the clearest difference between Descartes and Nietzsche here is that whereas Descartes thought that ideas are passive‚ Nietzsche thought the opposite.
