Isi artikel

In this article, I discuss Charles Taylor’s reading of Nietzsche. Taylor argues that Nietzsche presents a challenge on the ‘deepest level’ because, on Taylor’s reading, Nietzsche forces us to consider whether or not our ‘continuing allegiance to standards of justice and benevolence’ goes against our inner nature. I argue that this purported Nietzschean challenge is more self-revealing of Taylor than it is foreboding, as it brings to light the tension between the open and pluralistic content of Taylor’s faith, and the epistemological grounding of it, which a more well-rounded appreciation of Nietzsche could help to alleviate.
