Description:

Nietzsche on Morality Fall 2008. Three credits. Christoph Menke In the course we will examine in detail Nietzsche's writings on morality and focus on three questions: (1) the critical interpretation of the emergence and the consequences of the modern idea of equality; (2) the systematic connections between Nietzsche's critique of morality and his critique of metaphysics (i.e., of the concept of the subject, of action, of the will, etc.); (3) the methodology of Nietzsche's interpretation, especially his conception of 'genealogy.' Ithis context, we will also refer to interpretations of Nietzsche's concept of genealogy developed by, among others, Foucault, Geuss, MacIntyre, Scheler, Williams.
