According to the Nietzsche-style approach,this paper defines the internal logic of the development of modern Western moral culture as the process of nihilism gradually deepening to completion: the devaluation of the highest value from the initial "European nihilism" stage,followed by "incomplete nihilism" "The value of the stage is devalued,that is,the value of the value is abandoned.In the end,in the stage of "modern total nihilism",the high value itself is also ousted,the objectivity of value is completely lost,and all values become subjective preferences of human beings.In this historic process,the past,the pre-modern,the modern early and the current nihilism are different,and the current nihilism of value subjectivization and nihilism is the result of this historical process.What we are in is probably the end of the entire process of nihilism.I tried to try to define the dynamics of this process as a sense of value humanity and artificiality.The article mainly discusses from the following four parts: The first part comprehensively examines the value nihilism,distinguishes the nihilism connotation before and after Nietzsche,and explores the background and ideological origin of the value nihilism.The second part mainly discusses the negative nihilism in the value nihilism.The analysis of "God is dead" and its consequences reveals that the inner logic of nihilism is the deconstruction of the value cognition foundation,which in turn leads to the value of humanity and artificiality.The third part is positive nihilism.Nietzsche takes the will of power as the standard,eternal reincarnation as the bearing,reassessing all values,and constructing the function of "superman" to assume the main body of new value,but this construction is only an unequal aesthetic presupposition.It can also be said that this is Nietzsche overcomes the failure of negative nihilism.The fourth part is two reflections on Nietzsche's value nihilism.First of all,I think that Nietzsche's value construction is different from nihilism and relativism,but on the basis of unity.Secondly,positive nihilism implies Nietzsche's pursuit of value objectivity.Although people have not been able to reach a consensus on the definition of truth,pursuing truth and pursuing value and objectivity still have important guiding significance for a better life.Williams' s view of moderate truth shows us that the objectivity of value can still be defended under the framework of Nietzsche's modernity diagnosis.
