The Classical sociology gives a point of view which legitimizes the rational basis in the society. Friedrick Nietzsche’s work challenged the views that sociology and reasons which are the foundation of the moral order. He believed that morality feeds on anger and hatred and required people to cultivate and sustain an aggressive external world. He used perspectivism to explicitly state that there is no morality but rather moralities that exist (Anderson, 2017). Additionally, he also used master and slave morality to bring out the difference. According to Nietzsche, in master morality, the master is responsible for determining what is right or what is wrong regarding values.
