Nietzsche __ Morality

A couple years ago, Brian Leiter came out with Nietzsche on Morality, which discusses Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morality. Last year, he and I edited Nietzsche and Morality, a collection of essays (I've linked to the review in the previous post).

I'm kind of wondering what other titles involving "Nietzsche" and "Morality" are in Brian's future and mine. Maybe Nietzsche or Morality -- I imagine the disjunction being exclusive. Sadly, Nietzsche if Morality is ungrammatical and probably suggestive of an incorrect view, as is Nietzsche if and only if Morality. But there's more opportunity in going beyond the truth-functional connectives. Consider Nietzsche Underneath Morality, Nietzsche Slightly To the Right Of Morality, and the like. Clearly we have many excellent publications ahead of us before we exhaust this productive line of research.

Nietzsche "Last-of-the-Mohicans" Morality.

Yes, it makes sense. Your next book might as well be Nietzsche MadLibs. I hear they're making a comeback.

Needless to say (though I'm saying it anyway) if we were still in hochschule, we could have gotten quite a bit of mileage out of those two words and a blank therebetween. Oh wait, you already have...

Speaking of Nietzsche mad libs, have you seen the postmodernism generator?

I would be extremely hesitant to choose a title that suggests to inattentive librarians throughout the English-speaking world, "You appear to already have this in your collection." Just a thought.

Nietzsche therefore morality?

It's almost alliterative.
