Moral thoughts in the West have been mostly idealistic. But with the emergence of nihilism, this approach changed and the emptying of values, as proposed by Nietzsche, became apparent. A person who has always lived in the shadow of the values of the sacred, suddenly finds himself in the baselessness of the values. Such a person can no longer give meaning to his life with Platonic ideals, nor with the moral ideals of Christianity. This meaninglessness of life is more visible in Nietzsche's criticism of metaphysics, religion and Christian ethics. Nietzsche both criticizes the extreme rationalism of Greek metaphysics as repressive of human emotions, and criticizes religion for promoting what he calls an ethics of slavery. This has led to modern man's mistrust of theological ethics and finally, man values his own life instead of God. The consequences of this nihilism can be examined from different aspects. Of course, Nietzsche's view of religious ethics is based on Christian teachings, but some have generalized the results of his criticism to any religion-based ethics. A little reflection on the teachings of authentic monotheistic ethics will show that Nietzsche's criticisms of Christian ethics cannot target the basis of religious ethics that emphasizes the meaning of human life.
