Holocaust. Philosophers as diverse as Bernard Williams and Michel Foucault, Martha Nussbaum and Jean-Fran ois Lyotard, Walter Benjamin and Richard Rorty have begun to suspect that the moral point of view simpliciter may be the problem rather than a solution. It is not merely that morality conceived as the search for action-guiding principles is too thin to do any useful work. Rather, the suspicion is now emerging that im morality may well be morality's Siamese twin, just as the irrational may...

When England was under Anglo-Saxon rule, law and order was maintained on an almost entirely local basis. Our ancient system of law courts and juries has its roots in this period. Another system that worked rather well, but has not survived, was that of frankpledge or tithings. Under this system, all males over 12 were enrolled in a 'tithe' or group of 10.

In exposing nationalism as another modern form of the herd mentality, he also identified the context within which German anti-Semitism functioned...

In section 12 of the Third Treatise, Schopenhauer re-emerges through the unacknowledged quotation of his phrase 'pure, will-less, painless, timeless subject of knowledge'. For Schopenhauer this 'pure, will-less subject' is the subject of aesthetic experience, a state of consciousness in which all our desires, interests, and feelings are suspended, and we exist merely as a subject of knowledge that mirrors the world without imposing subjective forms upon it. In particular, space, time, and...

The Second Treatise of the Genealogy, entitled ' ''Guilt'', ''Bad Conscience'', and Related Matters', has been comparatively poorly served by extended commentary.1 The treatise admittedly follows a winding path even by Nietzsche's standards, but I hope to reveal a central train of thought from which its many byways branch off. The central train of thought is that having a bad conscience or feeling guilty is a way in which we satisfy a fundamental need to inflict cruelty. This is achieved by...

So what becomes of the Zarathustra extract at the head of the treatise's opening page 24 I suggest that its lot is improved by my hypothesis. Liberated from the absurdly overtaxing double role of having some seventy pages of deliberation on a topic it does not even mention spun out of its meagre frame and thereby providing the hint from which a conception of textual Auslegung is to be learned, it can revert to its more plausible function as a pure epigraph or motto, of the kind sometimes used...

Section 2 of the Preface springs the first-person singular upon us with 'My thoughts on the origins of our moral prejudices '. It is now no longer a case of 'we', but of 'I' and 'you' in confrontation a most explicit example of what Nehamas has called Nietzsche's 'effort always to insinuate himself between his readers and the world'.8 Nietzsche sustains this mode every other section of the Preface uses the first-person singular in its opening sentence.

What then of 'moralization' A simple but unremarked characteristic of 'moralizing' a concept is making it fit to take its place in an overall conception of the morally good. This suggests that in the final step of Nietzsche's narrative 'feeling guilty' and 'having a bad conscience' become part of what the morally good person does or is. Earlier in the narrative human beings cannot be said to have regarded the self-cruelty and self-punishment into which they fell as anything particularly good...

Although Nietzsche quite explicitly claims to be an immoralist for example, EH IV 2-4 BT P 5 , 1 many serious and sympathetic interpreters have denied that he is. This is understandable because immoralism is a difficult position to take seriously. An immoralist does not simply ignore morality, or deny its fight to our compliance, but claims that morality is a bad thing that should be rejected. Immoralism therefore seems to be defensible only from the viewpoint of a morality, which makes it...

Like essential dilatoriness and lassitude, essential fatigue is the self s resistance to existence, a refusal that as such presupposes existence. So the moment of polemic between the existant and its existence can be at most only almost contradictory. It can be only that also because in this very same momentary Augenblick see the first section of chapter 5 below there is, although not a lapse into two moments of time by which contradiction might be forestalled, a certain lateness that Levinas...
