ABSTRACT
Nietzsche’s works confront the reader interested in the issue of free will, or, more generally, of freedom, with an interpretive puzzle. On the one hand, in both his published work and unpublished notes, passages abound where he seems to explicitly deny that we have anything like free will. On the other hand, Nietzsche often appeals to the notion of freedom and its cognates, in particular when he is in the business of sketching his own ideal of humankind. I shall offer a brief but illustrative sample of both cases.
