Summary/Abstract: The task of this text is to locate Nietzsche’s ethics in the domain of normativity. Namely, this task assumes the determination of the normative concepts of Nietzsche’s ethics, the relations between them, and their relations with non-normative concepts, but, before all, an answer to the question about meaning of ethics in Nietzsche’s philosophy. In our discussion, for the sake of methodicity and accuracy, we are going to use the concepts and the conceptual distinctions of the philosophy of normativity, a contemporary discipline of ethics. The result of the discussion will be the proof of two theses: (i) Nietzsche’s ethics refers to a normative judgment about reasons to act; and (ii) according to it, normative or ethical concepts supervene on non-normative and non-ethical concepts.
