CHAPTER

Nietzsche's Philosophy on Free Will and Moral Responsibility

The chapter explores Nietzsche's unique perspective on free will and its implications for moral responsibility, critiquing traditional views through discussions on determinism, incompatible views, and compatibilist perspectives. Nietzsche's rejection of classical and theological determinism, as well as his emphasis on the desire for power driving the belief in free will, is highlighted. The conversation also touches on introspection's fallibility, the phenomenon of feeling willed thoughts, and the vulnerabilities in arguments related to the phenomenology of free will.
