1128Nietzsche on the Diachronic Will and the problem of moralityEuropean Journal of Philosophy 20 (4): 652-675. 2012.In this paper I offer an innovative interpretation of Nietzsche's metaethical theory of value which shows him to be a kind of constitutivist. For Nietzsche, I argue, valuing is a conative attitude which institutes values, rather than tracking what is independently of value. What is characteristic of those acts of willing which institute values is that they are owned or authored. Nietzsche makes this point using the vocabulary of self-mastery.

However, their discussion of the structure of intentionality is, in my view, less successful in th…Read more

434Teaching Virtue: Changing AttitudesLogos and Episteme 7 (4): 503-527. 2016.In this paper I offer an original account of intellectual modesty and some of its surrounding vices: intellectual haughtiness, arrogance, servility and self-abasement. I argue that these vices are attitudes as social psychologists understand the notion. I also draw some of the educational implications of the account. In particular, I urge caution about the efficacy of direct instruction about virtue and of stimulating emulation through exposure to positive exemplars.
