ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at some thinkers who claim that readers should reject "morality". Revolutionary thinkers have some idea of a better human life, or a better society, liberated from false morality. But this new life is to be structured by some values. The chapter also looks at critiques of morality from Karl Marx and Friedrich Nietzsche, both of whom see morality as in some way repressive. They think: that morality as readers tend to understand it is an illusion that readers take to be something real; that distracting them from what is really of importance; some of them at least will be able to achieve liberation from false morality. The chapter considers whether, although the revolutionary thinkers appear to be attacking morality as a whole, they are really only attacking one version of morality. It concludes that readers can understand their position better if readers see that their aim is really to devise a more adequate version of morality.
