Abstract
This chapter discusses Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals. Each essay is based on an encounter with a different aspect of Kant's moral philosophy — rational reconstruction of moral institutions, the analysis of agency, and the practical postulates. It demonstrates that Nietzsche's ‘immoralism’ is best understood as a rejection of the agent-neutral dimension of Kant's evaluation of rule-governed action. However, this chapter shows that Nietzsche's relationship to Kant is ambivalent — Nietzsche is drawn to Kantian ideas of freedom and autonomy, and attempts an alternative account that is compatible with his rejection of noumenal agency and a morality of generalizable rules.
