ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on important features of Nietzschean materials, for the present purpose, is its structure. Nietzsche's writing achieves this partly by its choice of subject matter, partly by its manner and the attitudes it expresses. These features stand against a mere exegesis of Nietzsche, or the incorporation of Nietzsche into the history of philosophy as a source of theories. There is some measure of agreement that need a naturalistic moral psychology, where this means something to the effect that people view of moral capacities should be consistent with, even perhaps in the spirit of, understanding of human beings as part of nature. The Homeric Greeks blamed people for doing things, and whatever exactly went into their doing so. The fit between the special psychological conception and the demands of morality enables people to see that this piece of psychology is itself a moral conception, and one that shares notably doubtful features of that particular morality itself.
