Question for Philosophy
The philosopher Nietzsche wrote, "Morality is herd instinct in the individual." What does this statement mean and how do the teachings of the Sophists in ancient Athens shed light on the meaning of it? What implications does such a view of morality have for moral conduct in human society? For instance, does it make us less inclined to do the right thing if it goes against "the herd" mentality? Provide an example to support your views.
