35Nietzsche, Power and Politics: Rethinking Nietzsche's Legacy for Political Thought (edited book)De Gruyter. 2008.Nietzsche's legacy for political thought is a highly contested area of research today.

18Identiteit en wêreldlikheid: Waarom identiteitspolitiek faalTijdschrift Voor Filosofie 68 (2). 2006.The purpose of this paper is to engage in critical reflection on identity politics as a mode of resistance to the experience of oppression, marginalisation or social exclusion. I argue that the notion of an identity-driven politics springs from a fundamentaldisaffection with the world as it is given to us, and that this disaffection is reinforced in the very attempt to overcome it. In support of my criticism I then try to sketchan alternative conception of identity and politics that does not run…Read more

To this end, the article draws on insights generated by Nietzsche and Arendt in their respective analyses of the link between history, action and the worldly domain of cultura…Read more

1117On public happinessSouth African Journal of Philosophy 33 (4). 2014.Theories of happiness usually consider happiness as something that matters to us from a first-person perspective. In this paper, I defend a conception of public happiness that is distinct from private or first-person happiness. Public happiness is presented as a feature of the system of right that defines the political relationship between citizens, as opposed to their personal mental states, desires or well-being. I begin by outlining the main features of public happiness as an Enlightenment id…Read more

44The Loss of the Human: Nietzsche and Arendt on the Predicament of ModernityEthical Perspectives 9 (1): 31-47. 2002.First, a remark on the topic of my paper, which contains an 'and' where one would expect an 'or'. It might seem highly questionable to want to establish a relation between the self-proclaimed 'last anti-political German', teacher of self-overcoming and solitude, and a political thinker with an express commitment to political action and citizen equality. Would a genuine concern with both thinkers not precisely preclude any attempt to fabricate an alliance between them?One way of circumventing thi…Read more
