Abstract. This article develops themes in Matt Bennett’s reservations about David Owen’s endorsement of Nietzschean ethics derived from Bernard Williams. The Continental reception of Nietzsche after Heidegger is used to justify Owen’s ethical hermeneutics, whilst the difficulties of Bennett’s search for a moral psychology in Nietzsche’s ‘immoralist’ are highlighted. Late Nietzsche texts are representative of a bi-conditional logic: I am strong if and only if you are weak. Kant’s moral frame and Anthropology critique Nietzsche’s claims to immorality, the unique law, and the sovereign individual incapable of egotistic pluralism.
Keywords: Heidegger, ethics, moral psychology, immoralist, bi-conditional logic, Kant, agonistic.
