Answer:
Nietzsche’s philosophical thoughts on morality argue that a moral code is not in our nature, while Zimbardo’s argument is that we shouldn’t expect our decisions to be influenced by morality alone. Nietzsche’s thoughts on morality are grounded in opposition to Christianity. He begins his argument by quoting from the Bible, “If thy eye offend thee, pluck it out,” before labeling the Christian idea as “stupidity” (Paragraph 1). Nietzsche argues that sensuality is in opposition to Christianity and that the church “always wanted the destruction of its enemies; we, we immoralists and Antichristians” (Paragraph 5), adding that “Life has come to an end where the ‘kingdom of God’ begins” (Paragraph 8). In contrast, Zimbardo
bases his argument on science and proposes that the electric shock
experiment by psychologist Stanley Milgram “provides several lessons
about how situations can foster evil” (Paragraph 5). He also uses
conclusions from a 1974 experiment by Harvard anthropologist John
Watson, as well as his own simulated jail experiment, the 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment, to help support his argument.
