What Is To Be Overcome? Nietzsche, Carnap, and Modernism as the Overcoming of Metaphysic
History of Philosophy Quarterly 28 (3):303-318. (2011)
Abstract
I examine why Carnap ended his "The Overcoming of Metaphysics" with admiration for Nietzsche, and contextualize his admiration for Nietzsche within their shared commitment to 'modernism.' I show that Carnap's modernism helps explain his enthusiasm for symbolic logic and his attitude towards metaphysics. However, I also argue that Nietzsche's critique of metaphysics may also apply to Carnap's own distinction between what is essential to language and how language appears.Author's Profile
