      abstract = {Nietzsches drive theory, as it is referred to in the  secondary literature, is a rich, unique and fascinating  articulation of the human condition. In broad brushstrokes,  Nietzsche appears to contend that all human psychology is  either directly reducible to animal drives (e.g. sex,  aggression) or indirectly explicable to the historical  transformations thereof (e.g. ressentiment). Moreover,  Nietzsches initial elucidation of drive theory in On the  Genealogy of Morals (and elsewhere) is well-complemented  with a fecund, profound, and clear elucidation of the  concept in the secondary literature. Yet, there remains a  glaring lacuna for all the discussion of drive theory in  the scholarship. The secondary literature is delinquent in  explaining how animal drives became incorporated to form  the human psyche. Nietzsches account to elucidate how  drives became digested or in his words inpsychated is  called the Internalization Hypothesis. However, as it  appears in GM: II, 16, the hypothesis is grossly inchoate.  The result of this undertheorization is manifold; its  deleterious effects resonate along many axes of Nietzsches  philosophy. The present book, Internalized Valuation: A  Genealogical Analysis of Nietzschean Drive Theory, offers  an original and fruitful interpretation of Nietzsches  philosophical psychology. First, it clarifies what drives  are. Second, it provides a new way of thinking about  Nietzsches genealogical methods and then applies these  insights to The Genealogy itself. What follows is a work  that not only sheds much-needed light on Nietzsches  philosophy of mind in general and his theory of emotions in  particular, but also informs and illuminates problematic  passages of Nietzsches Genealogy. Brian Lightbody is  Professor and Chair of Philosophy at Brock University. He  is the author of several monographs on Nietzsches  philosophy, including Nietzsches Will to Power Naturalized:  Translating the Human into Nature and Nature into the Human  and Philosophical Genealogy: An Epistemological  Reconstruction of Nietzsche and Foucaults Genealogical  Method Volumes 1 and 2. His work has appeared in such  journals as Philosophy Today, The Journal of Ancient  Philosophy, and The European Legacy. .},
