Summary/Abstract: This paper’s intention is to critically interpret Nietzsche’s critique of moral. The author initially analyzes the meaning of Nietzsche’s main “ethical” notions: die Moral, die Moralität, die Sitte and die Sittlichkeit. The analysis reveals that those notions are not free of contradictions in their philosophical and ethical foundation. It is shown that Nietzsche’s critique of moral does not apply to the moral phenomenon itself, but to customs, social conventions and conformism instead. That is the contradiction in Nietzsche’s critique of moral. The author thus extends the contradiction in question to the whole of Nietzsche’s philosophy, because the relation between separate teachings within it shows itself as that of the teleology of antiteleology.
