On Being Some Thing and the Mind–Body Relation
The Challenge of Nietzsche
Jeremy Fortier’s book is concerned for the most part not with an analysis of Nietzsche’s thought as such, but with Nietzsche’s autobiographical and metaphilosophical reflections on his own philosophy and the various stages it underwent. The agenda for the book is presented at the beginning: “the aim . . . is not merely to acquire biographical information about Nietzsche, but to understand how his reflections on his particular life can contribute …
Being Guilty
What can guilt, the painful sting of the bad conscience, tell us about who we are as human beings? This book seeks to answer this question through an examination of the views of Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Wilhelm von Schelling, Arthur Schopenhauer, Paul Rée, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Martin Heidegger on guilt, freedom, responsibility, and conscience. The concept of guilt has not received sufficient attention from scholars of the history of German ph…

Heidegger on Guilt
In the chapter on conscience and guilt in Being and Time , Heidegger makes transcendental claims to the effect that Dasein's Being‐guilty is the condition of possibility of factical guilt—guilt for specific misdeeds. In this article, I reconstruct Heidegger's transcendental argument. To do so, I distinguish factical guilt from (what I call) ontic guilt and ontological guilt and explain why Dasein's ontic guilt is a necessary condition of possibil…
Nietzsche’s Psychology of Ressentiment
Ressentiment—the hateful desire for revenge—plays a pivotal role in Nietzsche’s On the Genealogy of Morals. Ressentiment explains the formation of bad conscience, guilt, asceticism, and, most importantly, it motivates the "slave revolt" that gives rise to Western morality’s values. Ressentiment, however, has not enjoyed a thorough treatment in the secondary literature. This book brings it sharply into focus and provides the first detailed examina…
Judgments That Have Value “Only as Symptoms”
In two passages from Twilight of the Idols, Nietzsche makes the argument that negative valuations of life or valuations of life in general could be treated only as symptoms. In other words, Nietzsche here seemingly refuses to engage rationally the arguments that have been proposed in favor of such valuations and proceeds to view them from his typical genealogical perspective. In this article, I show that this initial impression is misleading and …
Amor Fati as Practice
On the basis of an interpretation of key passages in The Gay Science , this paper examines Nietzsche's idea of amor fati —love of fate. Nietzsche's idea of amor fati involves the wish to be able to learn how to see things as beautiful. This gives the impression that amor , love, is supposed to play some role in the beautification of fate. But Nietzsche also explains amor fati in relation to his desire to be a devoted “Yes‐sayer.” This pulls the i…
How Smart (and Just) Is Ressentiment
The article argues that attention to Nietzsche's analysis of ressentiment in the third essay of On the Genealogy of Morals reveals a hitherto unnoticed feature of ressentiment, namely, that ressentiment comes with degrees of epistemic acuity—a varying ability to correctly identify and focus on the object that gives rise to it in the first place. After showing how internally and externally induced ressentiment differ with regard to their epistemic…
