Abstract
This paper offers a reflection on the relevance of Nietzsche to recent geographical
scholarship. It starts by questioning the more general relationship between geography
and philosophy/theory and interrogates what we might mean by theoretically
sophisticated geographies. Drawing on a specific context - the postcolonial apology
in contemporary Australia – the paper turns to the relevance of Nietzsche’s thinking
about morality, in charting everyday moral geographies and imagining more ethical
futures
