Dr. Robert Welshon is a Professor in the Philosophy department at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. His areas of specialization are philosophy of mind, philosophy of neuroscience, and the work of Friedrich Nietzsche. He is a past Fulbright Fellow (2008-2009) and Visiting Professor at Brown (1997). He is the author of numerous books, the latest one being Nietzsche's On The Genealogy of Morality: A Guide.

In this episode, we focus on Nietzsche's On The Genealogy of Morality. We first discuss what Nietzsche intended with a revaluation of moral values, what the genealogical method is, and philosophical naturalism. We discuss where other philosophers and theologians failed in their approaches to moral psychology, before getting into essay I of Genealogy, regarding the impact of ressentiment on Christian moral evaluation. We discuss master and slave morality, and the phenomenon of ressentiment. We then explore essay II, on the moral psychology of conscience and guilt, and essay III, on the meaning of the ascetic ideal. We talk about ascetic values in artists, philosophers, and scientists. Finally, we discuss the merits and shortcomings of Genealogy. --
