In his own unique way, and in accordance with his extra-moral view of life, Nietzsche recovers and re-appropriates these virtues. Considerable attention is paid to Nietzsche's "aristocratism", which is closely tied up with his reconceptualisation ("rehabilitation") of the virtues in terms of virtu (virtuosity and vitality), to which he also refers as his "moraline-free" conception of the virtues.17 PagesAfrikaansSouth African Society for Greek Philosophy and the HumanitiesDeugdeMatigheidGenerositeitNietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelm, 1844-1900 -- Contributions in ethicsVirtuesTemperanceMagnanimityGenerosityArticle
