Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morality is strikingly book-ended by the theme of knowledge-seeking: the Preface opens with the ominous claim that “[w]e are unknown to ourselves, we knowers”, and the Third Essay's climax is the assertion that scientific, scholarly activity does not stand in opposition to the ascetic ideal but is instead only that ideal's most recent and insidious instantiation. This feature of the text is absent from Reginster's The Will to Nothingness. Nonetheless, the interpretive machinery that Reginster develops in his reading of the Genealogy as a genealogy and critique of morality can also go a long way towards helping us to make sense of the text as, at the same time, a genealogy and critique of knowledge-seeking. Making use of Reginster's account in this way serves to illuminate both the interpretive power and some of the limitations of his reading.

尼采与“我们知道者”：对雷金斯特《虚无意志》的评论

尼采的《论道德谱系》以知识寻求为主题，引人注目：序言以不祥的断言开头：“我们对自己一无所知，我们是认识者”，第三篇文章的高潮是这样的断言：科学、学术活动并不与禁欲主义理想对立，而只是该理想最近和阴险的实例。雷金斯特的《虚无意志》中没有文本的这一特征。尽管如此，雷金斯特在阅读《家谱》时发展出的解释机制作为道德的谱系和批判，也可以在很大程度上帮助我们理解文本的意义，同时作为知识寻求的谱系和批判。以这种方式利用雷金斯特的叙述有助于阐明他的解读的解释能力和一些局限性。
