      Institutionalism is brought about, in part, by a sense of learned helplessness, a belief that one has no control over one's environment.

      Therefore, in addition to noting the similarities between the "new Nietzsche" and nonabsolutist institutionalism, we want to show briefly what, specifically, a reading of Nietzsche adds to the institutionalist treatment of values.
