Abstract
This project surveys what thinkers have to say about the origin of moral values. This study questions the basis of moral values derived from a priori sources and provides arguments showing the shortcomings of the argument for a priori moral values. This study also includes details of three different thinkers, Nietzche, Freud, and Feuerbach.
