Paul Katsafanas

In this engaging discussion, Paul Katsafanas, an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Boston University and author of Nietzschean Constitutivism, delves into Nietzsche's ethics and contrasts them with Kantian views. He argues that Nietzsche’s concept of the 'will to power' offers a more coherent understanding of human behavior than Kant’s moral universalism. They explore the philosophical merger of analytical and continental thoughts, the implications of unconscious motivations in ethics, and critique societal values as they relate to power and morality.
