This paper was written by Brian Leiter and published in 2000. Leiter argues that philosophers that argue that Nietzsche criticizes moral values from a position that is privileged in some way, using a form of realism or a non-realism, are incorrect. Leiter concludes that in his revaluation of moral values “Nietzsche’s own evaluative perspective in undertaking the revaluation does not, in fact, enjoy any metaphysical or epistemic privilege over its target” (2000, p 290). His perspective is simply the one he freely choses to take. Leiter’s interpretation is similar to that eventually offered by Nadeem Hussain.
