El objetivo del artículo es analizar la metodología propuesta por Friedrich Nietzsche y Michel Foucault para estudiar la espiritualidad antigua y su herencia en la cultura moderna y contemporánea. ...Esa metodología, según la hipótesis que se explora en el artículo, atribuye un papel clave a la filología o el arte de leer bien, que los lleva a ambos a elaborar una hermenéutica crítica y retroactiva, especialmente fecunda cuando se trata de entender las distintas emergencias de la espiritualidad en la historia de la cultura occidental.
In this paper, I explore the sociality of emotional experience in the work of Friedrich Nietzsche. Specifically, I describe four key mechanisms through which an individual's sociocultural context ...shapes her emotional experience on Nietzsche's view—emotional contagion as habitual affective mimicry, the production of emotions' felt character through the assimilation of dominant social beliefs and norms, affective interpretation à la Christopher Fowles, and the imposition of dominant notions of emotional appropriateness—fleshing out a dimension of Nietzsche's thought which is largely taken for granted but remains undertreated. After detailing these mechanisms, I argue that attending to the sociality of emotional experience in Nietzsche's thought is crucial not only for understanding key elements of his moral psychology (including certain of his reflections on freedom and self‐transformation), but also for understanding his interpretation of nihilism as a psychological‐affective phenomenon produced by the society to which one belongs. On Nietzsche's view, attending to the sociality of emotion helps individuals recognize the way in which the sociocultural contexts they inhabit might undermine their flourishing—and also helps them envision the conditions (especially sociocultural conditions) requisite for healthier, more empowering emotional lives.

Abstract This article takes as its starting point Philipp Felsch’s recent book telling the intriguing story of how, from the 1960s, the two Italian scholars Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari ...rediscovered and edited Nietzsche’s legacy, considered a highly problematic frame of reference in the aftermath of the Second World War. The essay outlines the Italian background – both institutional and ideological – of this enterprise. Additionally, it argues that Colli and Montinari’s philological scrutiny and quest for veracity also helped to lay the groundwork for the reception of such ‚non-binary‘ thinkers as Heidegger within political movements of both the (radical) left and right.
As entrepreneurs engage in a Schumpeterian process of 'creative destruction', existing market norms and values are substantially altered, which places entrepreneurship in a central role for ...considering society's new ethical demands. This essay attempts to fill a lacuna in the scholarship of entrepreneurial ethics that stops short of considering the ethical awareness of entrepreneurs regarding the reconstitution of values following disruption. The work of Friedrich Nietzsche informs our understanding of entrepreneurial ethics and provides guidance for 'new philosopher' entrepreneurs who become ethically aware of their task and endeavour to replace old values with new. Employing the lessons of Nietzsche can, therefore, provide valuable ethical insights for entrepreneurial ethicists as they consider what it might mean to engage in the disruption of industries, markets, and value chains.

It is difficult to approach a phenomenon as complex as the renaissance of pragmatism without considering the contemporary significance of pragmatist aesthetics. At the same time, however, one ought ...to note that pragmatist aesthetics has not yet reached its full potential. This is primarily due to the legacy of John Dewey's aesthetics. In pragmatist studies, the problematic consequences of Dewey's idealism in aesthetics have been insufficiently criticized. In order to confront this desideratum, pragmatist aesthetics ought to establish a dialogue with continental aesthetics. This essay advances the argument that pragmatist aesthetics will profit from considering Nietzsche's radical insights and far-reaching suggestions. Concentrating on a comparison between Dewey and Nietzsche, the essay discusses three aspects: the relation between art and life; the question of art's noncognitivism; and the question of aesthetic form and its significance for modern art.
A critical discussion of Bernard Reginster's book The Will to Nothingness. The contribution engages with Reginster's interpretation of Nietzschean ressentiment, arguing that it is an essentially ...interpersonal attitude in two different senses. It is a response to a social situation of structural deprivation, and it involves an element of antagonism toward those who are better off within this social structure. The contribution then discusses Reginster's claim that modern morality restores the sense of power of the masses by adjusting the goals that they aim to pursue. I argue that this interesting interpretation does not do full justice to the themes of hostility or hatred that permeate the Genealogy of Morals, extending from Nietzsche's discussion of the slave revolt to his treatments of the bad conscience and of ascetic ideals.
This paper aims at examining similar thought processes regarding the concept of God of the German philosopher Nietzsche and the Tamil social reformer and thinker Periyar. Both these thinkers ...critiqued the religion with which they were associated, for different reasons. Nietzsche demanded an energetic religion that would reflect the power of real life and believed bringing back Greek myths would achieve this end. Periyar demanded a religion that accepted all people as equal, and hence rejected all myths that had a hidden politics of hegemony and hierarchy. The philosopher Nietzsche has thought like a social reformer, and the social reformer Periyar has thought like a philosopher. Philosophy and social ideologies intertwin these two great thinkers.

First the problem needs to be acknowledged, and then we look at solutions. ...why did Cross refer to Nietzsche's writing at the start of his talk? Because dance is transformational, claims Carly ...Annable-Coop, a dance artist with experience of leading participatory dance projects that engage non-professional dancers and often, marginalised groups. ...of the 45 young adults who participated in both the 2013 and 2015 trial, 45% are now in education and employment.
Nietzsche has become embroiled in two interesting twenty‐first century debates about advancing technology and its impact on human life, especially its meaning/value. The first focuses on Nietzsche ...himself and is concerned with the extent to which his views align with those of transhumanism. The second involves the not so blatantly Nietzsche‐centric question of whether or not immortality, or radical life‐extension, is desirable. Given that the desire for immortality, or at least some more feasible (but not so permanent) approximation of it, is strongly associated with transhumanism, it seems that these two debates have some fairly significant overlap. Establishing what Nietzsche ultimately believes about such a core transhumanist issue will go a long way toward determining how sympathetic he would be to the transhumanist cause in general. I argue that while his views do not commit him to an all‐encompassing disdain for immortality, his intolerance for immortality‐seekers means that he might only be open to some of the more fringe understandings of transhumanism.
Ethical debates about liberal eugenics frequently focus on the supposed unnaturalness of its means and possible harm to autonomy. I present a Nietzsche-inspired critique focusing on intention rather ...than means and harm to abilities rather than to autonomy. I first critique subjective eugenics, the selection of extrinsically valuable traits, drawing on Nietzsche's notion of 'slavish' values reducible to the negation of another's good. Subjective eugenics slavishly evaluates traits relative to a negatively evaluated norm (eg, above-average intelligence), disguising a harmful intention to diminish the relative value of that norm. I then argue there is no objective form of eugenics on the Nietzschean ground that abilities are not valuable intrinsically; they are valuable only if one possesses the relative power to exercise them. Abilities frustrated by conflict with other abilities or environment are harmful, while disabilities that empower one's other abilities are beneficial. Consequently, all forms of eugenics are subject to the prior ethical critique of subjective eugenics.
