'N' is for ... Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Abstract

Given the ‘take-no-prisoners’ attitude and, relatedly, the bold, if chilling, clarity of Nietzsche’s vision, a consideration of his works prompts a straightforward interrogatory into how there might be ways to achieve flourishing in relevant psychological realms, especially valuation and volition, without--or in spite of-- the process of moralization. Moreover, even among developmental considerations that we might agree should remain within the scope of moralization, a more nuanced rendering of the valuational process may be owed to Nietzsche in emphasizing the final term in the triune: value-keeping-value seeking-value making.
