Nietzsche - Ressentiment, Power, & Values

Video Description

In On the Genealogy of Morality, Nietzsche formulates a critique of moral values that is grounded in their psychological history. The phenomenon of ressentiment plays a central role in this critique. Yet, precisely what sort of psychological state ressentiment is, what it reveals about human psychology, and why it is well suited to affect beliefs about value, remain sources of considerable perplexity. In the lecture, Bernard Reginster sketches out some new answers to these questions. This talk was given by Bernard Reginster (Brown University) in 2017 at Amherst College.
