Abstract (EN)

This study aims to analyze three different problems—moral philosophy, Nietzsche, and Postmodernism—in a relational manner, while also delving into a multitude of topics through various philosophers' perspectives. Rather than merely treating Ni-etzsche as a philosopher preceding Postmodernism, it evaluates him in unison with philosophers who have left a profound impact on the past and our present era. By combining Nietzsche's life-affirming attitude and critique of Western philosophy with the origins of Postmodernism, it opens up a discussion on the crisis of the era within the context of ethical reality, through concepts such as progressivism, meta-narratives, and truth. While the stage humanity has reached evokes Nietzsche's fore-sight of nihilism, the boundaries between not only truth and illusion but also reality and fiction are more eroded than ever before. Humans are losing their ancient anchors regarding the meaning and purpose of life, casting doubt on some concepts. Therefore, the inadequacy of projects interpreting the world at the point of human truth and life indicates our step towards a new reality, which manifests itself as Postmodernism. Unlike Enlightenment philosophy, Postmodernism represents the disconnection from the dominance of concepts. Nietzsche's affirmation of life against the idolization of truth along with the good-evil, which is the product of traditional thinking, precedes Postmodernism. The loss of the 'now' in line with progressivist plans as a significant problem is manifested as an ethical issue throughout the study in different contexts.
