- dr_dshiv 7y agoThanks for the reference, it looks good. What's the takeaway?
- 0db532a0 7y agoValidation of Nietzsche's ideas in more of a modern, scientific context. Thinking about a person's morality as originating from a person's psychology.

- 0db532a0 7y agoValidating them in the sense of using the ideas as a model to understand our own psychology, and the origins of our moralities. Showing that certain ideas that Nietzsche held around free will and the nature/nurture debate hold up to scientific scrutiny.
