ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on a different genealogy and to reconstruct a vindicatory genealogy of the individual's capacity to be just to others in a non-moral sense, that is, a capacity to be just that does not necessarily involve the concept of moral justice. Nietzsche's genealogy of the capacity to be just to others holds that this capacity is derived from interactions with others. The experience of someone else's resistance to one's own offer in a buyer-seller situation promotes one's capacity to assume the other's point of view, the other's perspective; it thus expands one's own mind, giving rise to the ability to see things from different viewpoints than one's own. The greater one's capacity for perspective seeing is, the better a thinker one is, the greater is the degree of objectivity that one can attain in matters of justice and in general.
