Nietzsche's thought has been of renewed interest to philosophers in
both the Anglo- American and the phenomenological and hermeneutic
traditions. Nietzsche on Consciousness and the Embodied Mind
presents 16 essays from analytic and continental perspectives.
Appealing to both international communities of scholars, the volume
seeks to deepen the appreciation of Nietzsche's contribution to our
understanding of consciousness and the mind. Over the past decades,
a variety of disciplines have engaged with Nietzsche's thought,
including anthropology, biology, history, linguistics,
neuroscience, and psychology, to name just a few. His rich and
perspicacious treatment of consciousness, mind, and body cannot be
reduced to any single discipline, and has the potential to speak to
many. And, as several contributors make clear, Nietzsche's
investigations into consciousness and the embodied mind are
integral to his wider ethical concerns. This volume contains
contributions by international experts such as Christa Davis
Acampora (Emory University), Keith Ansell-Pearson (Warwick
University), Joao Constancio (Universidade Nova de Lisboa), Frank
Chouraqui (Leiden University), Manuel Dries (The Open University;
Oxford University), Christian J. Emden (Rice University), Maria
Cristina Fornari (University of Salento), Anthony K. Jensen
(Providence College), Helmut Heit (Tongji University), Charlie
Huenemann (Utah State University), Vanessa Lemm (Flinders
University), Lawrence J. Hatab (Old Dominion University), Mattia
Riccardi (University of Porto), Friedrich Ulfers and Mark Daniel
Cohen (New York University and EGS), and Benedetta Zavatta (CNRS).
In 1885 Nietzsche insisted that from now on philosophy was only
acceptable 'as the most general form of history, as an attempt
somehow to describe Heraclitean becoming and to abbreviate it into
signs.' Taking this remark as a starting point, the aim of this
volume is to examine the intricate relationship between Nietzsche's
philosophy of time and his philosophy of history. The questions
that arise include: What are the new conceptions of time that
Nietzsche has to offer? What kind of historian was Nietzsche
himself? What kinds of temporalized histories and historicized
philosophies did he write or fail to write? This collection of
essays, written by fourteen academics including eminent figures
such as John Richardson, Raymond Geuss, Lawrence J. Hatab, and
Andrea Orsucci, constitute essential reading for specialists of
Nietzsche, and will also appeal to a larger audience of
intellectual historians, philosophers and others who are interested
in the development of modern thought.
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?
They all express the thought that Nietzsche's views on these
matters are of great philosophical value, either because those
views are consonant with contemporary thinking to a greater or
lesser extent or because they represent a rich alternative to
contemporary attitudes. The essays engage with Nietzsche's
metaphysics; his philosophy of mind in light of contemporary views;
the question of panpsychism in Beyond Good and Evil 36; the
rejection of dualism in favour of monism (in particular a monism of
value); Nietzsche's positions on consciousness and embodied
cognition in light of recent cognitive science; a conception of
freedom and agency based on an intrinsically motivating; embodied
sense of self-efficacy; a Nietzschean account of valuing understood
as drive-induced affective orientations of which an agent approves;
the idea of ressentiment conceived as a process of intentional, not
reflectively strategic, self-deception about one's own conscious
mental states; and a defence of a Nietzschean naturalism.
