Abstract

The objective of this article is to articulate the concepts of selfgenealogy and claim for moral objectivity, insofar I explore the fecundity of the notion of selfreferentiality from the selfgenealogical argument, as well as a deflationist conception of objectivity, according to which we must pay much more attention to the control over the content of moral judgments, and less to the correspondencial truth of such judgments. To do this, I take into account some categories from the contemporary debate in metaethics, and support the idea that Nietzsche engages himself in a non-cognitive position, while at the same time in a successful claim for moral objectivity.
