istanza morale

Italian to English Other Psychology
"Di quale 'accommodation' può essere imputato il Super-io freudiano? Esso, infatti, non è un’istanza morale, non più di quanto lo sia la natura...
Ricavare da questa oppressione il senso dell’istanza morale è, secondo Nietzsche, l’operazione storico-politica del Cristianesimo, in quanto prodotto del 'Ressentiment-Gefühl'."

This word (istanza) always stumps me. It seems to be like "need" here, and the dictionary offers request, application, need.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Peter

Where Nietzsche really got under my skin was where he shifted the ground to the ethical. Believing became a moral matter and Nietzsche’s power was not in making philosophical arguments against the faith
