Mar 19, 2015 · Abstract. This chapter shows that Nietzsche’s Genealogy of Morality is an account not only of the history of morality, but of what morality is.

Carroll’s main argument for moderate moralism is the “uptake argument”. Artworks often require emotional uptake, in that they aim at arousing emotional responses in their audience.
