Nietzsche and James on the Value of Constructing Objects
Open Philosophy 1 (1):392-400 (2018)
Abstract
In this paper, I first suggest that Nietzsche and James, two otherwise very different thinkers,
both endorse the controversial constructivist view that human representational practices bring all material
objects into existence. I then explore their views concerning why and how constructivism can play a vital
role in helping us find reality and our lives valuable.
