Friedrich Nietzsche uses various formulations to question new realms in science as in art. Scientific and artistic activity is compared not only to children who “throw away their toys; but soon (...) start again in an innocent frame of mind”, also to constructions that “connect, join and form lawfully and according to strict internal organizations.” The author explores how two types of reflective knowledge, those of the awareness of self and the knowledge of self, hold an ambiguous place in regards to the knowledge man constructs in all innocence in Nietzsche's ethics.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderself-realisationnormative ethicsethicsEudaimonismevolutionary ethicshappinesshonestyKantian ethicsMethods of ethicsGeneral and historicalPhilosophical ethicsGeneral theology/otherArticle
