Against Naïve Universalism: Towards a New Morality

Nietzsche enjoins us to choose our enemies wisely, for we are in a large part defined by our battles.Show more

I construct my own project, in no small part, in opposition to what I would call the naïve universalism, especially like that of Kant (or Locke).

Here's a short reflection on the topic, hope you enjoy! 🌸🕉

Against Naïve Universalism, towards a New Morality
Between facile relativism (or moral nihilism) and naïve universalism
Morality is not arbitrary, yet also not straightforwardly derivable from first principles
Morality is a collective project of construction
Human nature, common interest
Simple in principle, yet tremendously complex in practice
Critical Genealogical Project
New Modes and Orders, New Modes of Subjectification (Foucault)
