A two day conference as part of the University’s Nietzsche and Modern Moral Philosophy research project.

This is the first conference forming part of a 3 year project, supported by the AHRC, the aim of which is to bring together Nietzsche scholars and contemporary moral theorists so to assess both the challenge Nietzsche poses to modern moral philosophy and the resources available to modern moral philosophy for responding to that challenge. This conference focuses on Nietzsche’s naturalism, his views (both critical and positive) on normativity and ethics, and how these connect.
