Crime and punishment; drama and meaning: Lessons from On the Genealogy of Morals II
This paper takes up Nietzsche’s contrast between a relatively enduring ‘drama’ of punishment, which consists in sequences of procedures, and a congeries of often discrepant meanings and purposes of the drama and contrasts it favorably with the distinction between a definition of punishment and a justification for it which received a good deal of attention in the middle of the twentieth century in anglophone philosophical circles. My chief thesis …

History, Genealogy, Nietzsche: Comments on Jesse Prinz, “Genealogies of Morals: Nietzsche's Method Compared”
Jesse Prinz contrasts Nietzsche's way of historicizing morals with the approaches of utilitarians and Marxist-materialists, and does so to good effect. Against a background of substantial agreement on most of what Prinz argues for, I elucidate a significant shortcoming of his interpretation of Nietzschean genealogy: namely, its reliance on a simplistic understanding of how and why Nietzsche integrates historical hypotheses about how morality emer…

‘A Promise Made is a Debt Unpaid’
This article discusses what we can learn about promising and about Nietzsche’s critique of morality from his discussion of sovereign promising in the opening sections of the second essay of On the Genealogy of Morals. It argues that the philosophical focus of GM II: 1–2 is not the nature of promising in the narrow sense of making a pledge to do something for someone else, but the nature of pledging or committing oneself in general. It identifies …
Sensuality and Its Discontents: Philosophers, Priests, and Ascetic Ideals in the Genealogy of Morals
In this article I show how to integrate nietzsche's apparently conflicting views on the relationship of philosophers to the ascetic ideal of the ascetic priest. in sections 7 and 8 of GM iii, Nietzsche makes philosophers seem fundamentally different from priests; but in sections 9 and 10, he argues that philosophers early on succumb to the ascetic ideal of the priest. the key to understanding how these two aspects of GM iii fit together lies in n…

Luther's Word on Man's Will: A Case Study in Comparative Intellectual History
It is commonplace to observe that the history of thought reveals certain recurring patterns whose mode of expression changes according to context. It is equally apparent that to chart the salient characteristics of an influential way of thinking – to give concrete, clearly defined shape to the usually tangled fundamental impulses informing a cast of mind – is a complex, difficult task which calls for attention from (at least) the historian, the p…
