Value and Nature in Nietzsche
In this chapter I discuss various conceptions of value and the relations they have to nature. In the first part I discuss drives and values, before turning to, in the second part, conceptions of affects and their relations to drives. In the final, and most original, part of the chapter I consider the status of value and therein I suggest that for reasons inherent in Nietzsche’s philosophical there can be no answer to the question of what Nietzsch…
Emden's Nietzsche
This article discusses Christian Emden's conception of Nietzsche's naturalism. I begin by noting that Emden's reliance on Joseph Rowe's conception of naturalism is deeply problematic and that Emden's articulation of it is underdeveloped. These problems weaken his objections to other naturalistic readings. I then turn to discuss problems with Emden's discussion of genealogy as “descriptive” rather than “explanatory.” Finally, I object to Emden's c…
Nietzsche and Naturalism
This chapter addresses the character of Nietzsche's naturalism in light of some recent challenges to naturalistic readings of him, in particular those that take causation and causal explanation as central to naturalism. The first half discusses some general considerations pertaining to the topic, before turning to two recent discussions of naturalism. One, Richard Schacht's, agrees that Nietzsche is a naturalist but is suspicious of placing causa…
Nietzsche on Mind and Nature
This volume presents new essays exploring important aspects of Nietzsche's philosophy in connection with two major themes: mind and nature. A team of leading experts address questions including: What is Nietzsche's conception of mind? How does mind relate with the (rest of) nature? And what is Nietzsche's conception of nature?

“Genealogy” and the Genealogy
Among the rich veins of gold running through On the Genealogy of Morality is supposedly the methodologically distinct one of genealogy itself. This chapter presents a general articulation of what a genealogy might be. It discusses some of its consequences. The normative consequences of a given genealogy depend on the particular kind of genealogical account offered. The chapter discusses and rejects the idea that Nietzsche's particular genealogy c…
Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morality
On the Genealogy of Morality is Nietzsche's most influential, provocative, and challenging work of ethics. In this volume of newly commissioned essays, fourteen leading philosophers offer fresh insights into many of the work's central questions: How did our dominant values originate and what functions do they really serve? What future does the concept of 'evil' have - and can it be revalued? What sorts of virtues and ideals does Nietzsche advocat…

Understanding Hume's Natural History of Religion
Hume's 'Natural History of Religion' offers a naturalized account of the causes of religious thought, an investigation into its 'origins' rather than its 'foundation in reason'. Hume thinks that if we consider only the causes of religious belief, we are provided with a reason to suspend the belief. I seek to explain why this is so, and what role the argument plays in Hume's wider campaign against the rational acceptability of religious belief. In…
