The 19th century philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche placed great emphasis on the notion of becoming and although contemporary Nietzsche scholars have paid considerable attention to Nietzsche’s psychology, little attention has been paid to Nietzsche’s notion of becoming as a theory of human development. This is not surprising given the aphoristic and unsystematic presentation of Nietzsche’s ideas. Drawing on his own familiarity with Nietzsche’s work, the author explores the literature on Nietzsche’s conception of becoming, placing particular emphasis on the notion of becoming what one is. In lieu of philosophical analysis of the primary texts, the author consults contemporary scholarship on Nietzsche’s psychology to develop a neo-Nietzschean theory of human development and argues that Nietzsche does indeed have an inchoate theory. The author further relates the neo-Nietzschean theory of human development to other theories within the discipline, such as possible selves, dynamic integration, self-actualization, self-creation, and additional metatheoretical concerns.

迈向新尼采人类发展理论

19世纪的哲学家弗里德里希·尼采非常重视生成的概念，虽然当代尼采学者对尼采的心理学给予了相当大的关注，但很少关注尼采作为人类发展理论的生成概念。考虑到尼采思想的格言和不系统的表述，这并不奇怪。作者利用自己对尼采作品的熟悉，探索了关于尼采的生成概念的文献，特别强调了成为一个人的概念。代替对原始文本的哲学分析，作者参考了当代尼采心理学学术，以发展新尼采的人类发展理论，并认为尼采确实有一个早期理论。
