Knowledge as Masculine Heroism or Embodied Perception: Knowledge, Will, and Desire in Nietzsche
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 March 2020
Abstract
Two distinct doctrines of the will operate in Nietzsche. On one, each person has a will that grows out of their engagement with life. This view can be the basis for a feminist epistemology. On the other, the will must be stimulated through the creation of unattainable goals and games of seduction. This view of the will is misogynist, as it posits a self that must constitute for itself a dominated and silenced other.
