Nietzsche and the capacity to contract

Abstract Nietzsche's is no ordinary account of promising. It forms no part of the vast corpus on the question of promissory obligation. His quarry is not the morality, but the aetiology of promising: he seeks to make explicit the psychic condition that renders us capable of such a feat - to reveal what it presupposes about the human animal. This short paper is an interpretation of this account.
