    The Ecological Nietzsche: Considering the Environmental Implications of Friedrich Nietzsche’s Philosophy and the Possibility of Grounding der Ubermensch in the Indigenous Perspective
    (Ex Animo, 2022-06-02) Ycaza, Joseph D.
    "In this essay, I will be exploring the viability of an ecological Nietzsche, or how Nietzsche’s philosophy may play out in practical contemporary environmental contexts, and whether his philosophy is compatible with any so-called environmental philosophy. Though there is a rich discourse around attempts to assimilate a Nietzschean perspective into environmental ethics, an attempt to restate it in its entirety would exceed practical limits. Therefore, only those themes that are most appropriate for the purposes of this essay will be included. I will then consider these implications and Nietzsche’s philosophy more broadly within the context of indigenous peoples who, I would argue have a “healthier” and more sustainable relationship to nature and their environments, and consider whether they embody a more appropriate point of departure for Nietzsche’s philosophical project than someone from a Western background."
