The denial of all morality, the repudiation of morality, the tendency to support inhumanity, the disregard of the moral conscience and the feeling of honor. Amoralism constitutes one of the characteristic features of fascism and a variety of other reactionary ideologies and political doctrines.
Amoralism is a philosophical current that considers that morality lacks any logical and rational foundation. Therefore, this current concludes that social norms about common happiness are based on stereotypes that break with individual desires that are truly important.
From this perspective, the idea of sanction as punishment for unfair work disappears. The good or bad essence of an action cannot be specified within moral parameters that can be structured in fundamental principles.
The criticism that some authors suggest that amoralism is that the disappearance of norms and criteria that are a reference in ethics is that society drifts towards a kind of moral relativism where everything is allowed. This type of current also has an important weak point: the loss of values.
In turn, relativism also leads to subjectivism. That is, while the ethical norm investigates the value of objectivity, on the contrary, amoralism derives from personal opinion as the main criterion for action.
Amoralism is the attitude of being beyond good and evil in the context of Nietzsche's thought. Morality devoid of any rules. Based on feeding the ego.
It does not arise on the basis of orders or impositions, whether they are beliefs of any kind, traditions, customs, laws or regulations; It does not propose the "opposite" to the "good" as it could be mistakenly understood, but a different and superior assessment of conduct and the norms of coexistence centered on the will of concrete human existences and on continuous movement, in contrast to any assessment based on ideals conceptualized as superior to real human beings that end up imposing themselves on them.
Amoralism is related to vitalist conceptions of morality, contractualist in law, voluntarist in philosophy. The Danish and Christian Kierkegaard also has a fairly similar concept of how to live, but based on spirituality.
Remembering that it is not an isolated current, but a principle that is related to broader currents where it has been received as in some philosophical or politically anarchist circles, among others, where similar concepts have been outlined or have been influenced by these ideas.
