14A Nietzschean Bestiary: Becoming Animal Beyond Docile and BrutalRowman & Littlefield Publishers. 2003.Nietzsche's use of metaphor has been widely noted but rarely focused to explore specific images in great detail. A Nietzschean Bestiary gathers essays devoted to the most notorious and celebrated beasts in Nietzsche's work. The essays illustrate Nietzsche's ample use of animal imagery, and link it to the dual philosophical purposes of recovering and revivifying human animality, which plays a significant role in his call for de-deifying nature

9A filosofia de Nietzsche é um autorretrato?Cadernos Nietzsche 43 (2): 41-70. 2022.According to Lou Salomé, Nietzsche’s philosophy is essentially autobiographical and is best understood as a kind of personal confession, memoir, or self-portrait. In my view, however, this approach is radically mistaken and the textual evidence actually shows the opposite of what Salomé thinks. In these passages, Nietzsche is actually criticizing past philosophers for committing a falsifying cognitive error when they projected themselves and their personal prejudices into all of reality.

35What Does Nietzsche Mean by "the Same" in His Theory of Eternal Recurrence?Journal of Nietzsche Studies 53 (1): 1-33. 2022.In this article, I examine the linguistic features in Nietzsche's presentations that have led readers to assume that “the same” means numerical identity. I also evaluate the following argument about personal identity that has been used to support this assumption: if we are not numerically identical to our recurring counterparts, then we have no reason to be concerned about the prospect of reliving our lives and Nietzsche's theory cannot have any of the existential significance he ascribes to it.…Read more

18Nietzsche's ‘Thus Spoke Zarathustra': A Critical Guide (edited book)Cambridge University Press. 2022.Nietzsche regarded Thus Spoke Zarathustra as his most important philosophical contribution because it proposes solutions to the problems and questions he poses in his later books – for example, his cure for the human disposition to vengefulness and his creation of new values as the antidote to nihilism. It is also the only place where he elaborates his concepts of the superhuman and the eternal recurrence of the same. In this Critical Guide, an international group of distinguished scholars analy…Read more

56Nietzsche’s Heraclitean Doctrine of the Eternal Recurrence of the SameNietzsche Studien 50 (1): 70-101. 2021.There is a long and successful scholarly tradition of commenting on Nietzsche’s deep affinity for the philosophy of Heraclitus. But scholars remain puzzled as to why he suggested at the end of his career, in Ecce Homo, that the doctrine he valued most, the eternal recurrence of the same, might also have been taught by Heraclitus. This essay aims to answer this question through a close examination of Nietzsche’s allusions to Heraclitus in his first published mention of eternal recurrence in The J…Read more

21Moral Psychology with Nietzsche by Brian LeiterJournal of the History of Philosophy 59 (1): 160-161. 2021.Brian Leiter’s second book on Nietzsche brings together ideas and arguments that have already had a significant influence on the field through their earlier formulations in his articles from the past two decades. It is thus indispensable reading for anyone interested in Leiter’s evolving project of showing that Nietzsche has the correct naturalistic approach to issues in moral philosophy and moral psychology. As usual with Leiter’s scholarship, this monograph is extremely clear, densely argued, …Read more

42The Priestly Slave Revolt in MoralityNietzsche Studien 47 (1): 100-139. 2018.In this essay I evaluate a new and influential interpretation of Nietzsche’s idea of the slave revolt in morality. This interpretation was first proposed by Bernard Reginster and has since been extended by R. Lanier Anderson and Avery Snelson. Citing textual evidence from Beyond Good and Evil and On the Genealogy of Morality, these scholars have argued for the counterintuitive view that nobles, not slaves, instigated the slave revolt in morality. This is because Nietzsche says that nobles create…Read more

The Anglo-American Revision of Kant's EpistemologyDissertation, University of California, Berkeley. 1991.The central aim of this dissertation is to show how, starting in the second half of the nineteenth-century, Anglo-American philosophers were led to revise Kant's epistemology so as to have it reflect their own interest in epistemic justification; and how twentieth-century Anglo-American epistemologists and commentators have inherited, and taken for granted, this reinterpretation. Kant himself, it is argued, had no interest in the question, "How do we justify our claims to knowledge?". Instead, i…Read more

17The Death of Nietzsche's ZarathustraCambridge University Press. 2010.In this study of Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Paul S. Loeb proposes a fresh account of the relation between the book's literary and philosophical aspects and argues that the book's narrative is designed to embody and exhibit the truth of eternal recurrence. Loeb shows how Nietzsche constructed a unified and complete plot in which the protagonist dies, experiences a deathbed revelation of his endlessly repeating life, and then returns to his identical life so as to recollect this revelatio…Read more

18Nietzsche's Metaphilosophy : The Nature, Method, and Aims of Philosophy (edited book)Cambridge University Press. 2019.Recent Anglophone scholarship has successfully shown that Nietzsche's thought makes important contributions to a wide range of contemporary philosophical debates. In so doing, however, scholarship has lost sight of another important feature of Nietzsche's project, namely his desire to challenge the very conception of philosophy that has been used to assess his merits as a philosopher. In other words, contemporary scholarship has overlooked Nietzsche's contributions to metaphilosophy, i.e. debate…Read more

Eternal RecurrenceIn Ken Gemes & John Richardson (eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Nietzsche, Oxford University Press. 2013.This article shows that Nietzsche’s published presentations endorse the cosmological truth of eternal recurrence and that they indicate how belief in this truth can be supported with direct mnemonic evidence as well as a priori scientific proof. It also introduces a refutation of any attempt to construe Nietzsche’s doctrine as a thought experiment that would help to test or promote the affirmation of nonrecurring life.
