Cfp: "Nietzsche's Postmoralism," Department of Philosophy, University of Southampton, July 7–9, 2010.

Confirmed Plenary Speakers:
* Dan Conway (Texas & AM)
* Christa Davis Acampora (Hunter College, CUNY)
* Rainer Forst (Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt)
* Paul Loeb (Puget Sound)
* Alexander Nehamas (Princeton)
* Robert Pippin (Chicago)
* Tamsin Shaw (Princeton)
* Ivan Soll (Wisconsin-Madison)

Possible topics include (but are by no means limited to):

• What ‘postmoralism’ is or means;
• What sort of alternative to ‘morality’ Nietzsche intends (e.g. perfectionist or otherwise, social or individualistic);
• Who is to bring about, or engage in, this alternative ideal;
• Nietzsche’s ideal type;
• How ‘immoral’ Nietzsche’s postmoralism is;
• Which values might survive Nietzsche's critique of morality and/or feature in his positive ideal;
• Whether Nietzsche’s postmoralism is adequately motivated by his critique of morality;
• The justificatory/metaethical status of Nietzsche’s positive normative/evaluative claims.

We especially encourage papers that connect Nietzsche’s postmoralism to the project’s wider remit: namely, a critical assessment of Nietzsche’s significance for modern moral philosophy. For further details, see http://www.soton.ac.uk/philosophy/research/nietzscheproject.html
