This event, which features Dr Joachim Aufderheide, Dr John Callanan, Dr Sarah Fine, Dr Sacha Golob and Dr Matteo Mameli, discusses the Nietzsche famous suggestion that morality was a fabrication, a political power grab by the weak. What are the implications if he’s right? What are the alternatives if he’s wrong? Where did morality come from and why does the answer matter? Join philosophers and historians from King’s to discuss a wide range of viewpoints – ancient and modern, scientific and political – on these fundamental questions.
