Morality Critics: Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Heidegger

Catalog description

Considers a set of philosophical texts which call into question moral philosophy as it is sometimes practiced. Starting with Nietzsche, and then turning to Wittgenstein and Martin Heidegger, we will investigate some of the most profound criticisms of moral philosophy produced in modernity. We will ask what role, if any, might be left for moral philosophy in their wake? And, what kind of moral philosophy, if any, could one pursue in light of their criticisms?
