Re: Moral Fictionalism
Hitler adopted Nietzsche view of truth and incorporated this in his own view of what is truth. The Holocaust and the death of millions was the result of this truth.
Where is it told that Nature does not wish human beings mate weaker with stronger?
Does Nature stipulate whether this stronger is physical or mental? and
Hitler tried to do this and failed. Is this not proof enough of the folly of man's false perception of Nature.
... The stronger must dominate and if Nature does not wish that weaker individuals should mate with stronger, she wishes even less that a superior race should intermingle with an inferior one; because in such a case all her efforts, throughout hundreds of thousands of years, to establish an evolutionary higher stage of being, may thus be rendered futile.
