Bøker av Paul (Boston University) Katsafanas

Paul Katsafanas presents a clear, systematic study of Nietzsche's moral psychology, showing its advantages over its rivals. He examines Nietzsche's accounts of conscious and unconscious; of the connection between drives, desires, affects, and values; of freedom; of the unity of the self, and its relation to its social and historical context.

Paul Katsafanas explores how we can justify normative claims such as 'murder is wrong'. He defends an original account of constitutivism-the view that we do so by showing that agents become committed to them in virtue of acting-and resolves philosophical puzzles about the metaphysics, epistemology, and practical grip of normative claims.
