Abstract: Climate and environmental sciences tell us unequivocally that the very possibility of life on earth is threatened. Global warming, worldwide bio-diversity loss, widespread air and water pollution, and health, food, and social crises are not only looming ahead but are already here. The influence of human activities on the planet and its ecosystems is such that it has been said to usher in a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene.1 In the face of such challenges, political and philosophical injunctions to come back to earth have multiplied.2 But what is meant by such a “comeback” is not immediately transparent. What it means to live on earth no longer has the self-evidence or the certainty it could have in the past ... Read More PubDate: 2023-11-04T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: In the winter of 1883–1884, between the publication of parts II and III of Z, Nietzsche jotted down the following note:the two greatest philosophical viewpointsthat of becoming, of evolution [Entwicklung]that of the value of existencebrought together by me in decisive fashion . . . everything becomes and returns eternally1The reference, of course, is to the Ewigen-Wiederkunfts-Gedanken, with which Nietzsche boasts of having united—not unprecedentedly, for, as we shall see, others claimed to have done the same thing, but most effectively and definitively—the two leading ideas that have shaped modern German philosophy. First, Entwicklung, referring to progressive development in the realms of both nature and spirit ... Read More PubDate: 2023-11-04T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Much of Nietzsche’s philosophical psychology turns on his notion of drives (Triebe). Drives explain individuals’ actions (D 113, 119; GS 360), beliefs (GS 333; BGE 6, 158), and values (GS 115, 118, 335; BGE 6, 200, 268).1 Little wonder, then, that scholars examine Nietzsche’s understanding of the drives in detail.2 These efforts yield several points of agreement. There is relative consensus that drives are dispositions toward goal-directed behaviors, that drives produce affects in association with their ends, and that dominant drives command individuals’ cognitive capacities, motivating the pursuit of their aims.3 But other aspects of Nietzsche’s view remain unclear. In particular, disagreement persists about how ... Read More PubDate: 2023-11-04T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Nietzsche was not a systematic philosopher. Indeed, it is probably fair to say, as many commentators have, that he was an anti-systematic philosopher. It is harder to say what this means, and harder still to know how to deal with it when we aim to interpret his philosophy. For we wish to attribute to Nietzsche certain claims and positions, perhaps even arguments, and in doing so we generally prefer that these not contradict each other. And so as we attempt to understand “Nietzsche’s philosophy” as a coherent entity, we tend to find ourselves—for better or worse—heading down the path of systematizing that philosophy.Mattia Riccardi’s Nietzsche’s Philosophical Psychology is an impressive example of such a ...

Abstract: We are, as Nietzsche tells us in the Preface to GM, “strangers to ourselves” (GM P:1). The particular shape of this self-estrangement is not, as Nietzsche makes plain, the product of simple neglect; nor is it the result of some lack of ability or competence. Indeed, in Nietzsche’s view, the very disciplines of philosophy, history, and psychology, for example, show us that we are at once eager and capable when it comes to taking ourselves as objects of inquiry. Hence, the aspect of self-estrangement that worries Nietzsche is that the very conceptual and moral framework through which we orient ourselves practically, and through which we measure our praise and blame, remains, itself, stubbornly out of view. Until we ... Read More PubDate: 2023-11-04T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Nietzsche’s Earth is an ambitious work of expansive scope, which builds on several of Shapiro’s previous articles and contributions to anthologies. Shapiro’s comprehensive interpretation of Nietzsche’s reflections on time and “great politics,” while heavily informed by the thought of Deleuze, Guattari, and Agamben, remains firmly and admirably situated in the historical and ideological contexts in which Nietzsche lived and wrote. The stated goal of the book is to “triangulat[e Nietzsche’s] thought between nineteenth-century versions” of Hegel’s notion that his time was the “desired culmination of the world” (ix) and certain prevailing contemporary attitudes that in some respects look awfully close to this Hegelian ...

Abstract: This book traverses an incredibly wide range of topics, unified by attention to Nietzsche on value, which, Richardson writes, “has a good claim to be Nietzsche’s primary topic” (1). The challenge that Richardson takes Nietzsche to address (especially in his later work) is the establishment of a kind of compatibility thesis, namely the compatibility of accepting that values are, as Nietzsche takes them to be, essentially perspectival and dependent for their existence on valuers, and that we nonetheless ought to adopt certain (life-affirming) values. This is a challenge given the temptation to move from “no valuer-independent values” to “no genuine values,” that is, a kind of nihilism that threatens to undermine ...

Abstract: Dear Readers,The articles collected in this issue of The Journal of Nietzsche Studies underscore the value of the active, dedicated scholarly societies that provide a framework for the production of new work on Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophical thought and that present unmatched opportunities for researchers to come together to collaborate, criticize, learn, and exchange views and generally to advance our understanding and appreciation of Nietzsche’s ideas, their enduring significance, and the context in which they developed.The first article, Benoît Berthelier’s “The Meaning of the Earth: Reading Nietzsche in the Anthropocene,” was first selected by anonymous review for presentation at the twenty-seventh ...
