This book provides a new approach to a major figure in Western
Philosophy.This important new book explores the ethical theory of
Friedrich Nietzsche in light of recent work done in the philosophy
of mind. Craig Dove examines issues of free will, communication,
the way in which we construct the self, and the implications of all
these for ethics. After dismissing what he calls the 'soul
hypothesis', Nietzsche is left with a problem: how do we explain
the sense of unity and continuity most of us experience as our
identity?Drawing on recent work in cognitive science and philosophy
of mind, this study shows that Nietzsche's tentative suggestions in
the late nineteenth century have been supported by late twentieth
century research. Arguing that work done in the philosophy of mind
by Paul Churchland and Daniel Dennett helps to illuminate
Nietzsche's positive ethical doctrine, "Dove" goes on to show that
recent work has not adequately thought through the implications for
ethics, while Nietzsche has already accomplished precisely that.
This is an important and original contribution to an ongoing
debate.
