Nietzsche on Morality

Leiter, Brian

9780415856805 - Nietzsche on Morality
Secondhand

Article description

Both an introduction to Nietzsches moral philosophy, and a sustained commentary on his most famous work, On the Genealogy of Morality, this book has become the most widely used and debated secondary source on these topics over the past dozen years. Many of Nietzsches most famous ideas - the slave revolt in morals, the attack on free will, perspectivism, will to power and the ascetic ideal - are clearly analyzed and explained. The first edition established the centrality of naturalism to Nietzsches philosophy, generating a substantial scholarly literature to which Leiter responds in an important new Postscript. In addition, Leiter has revised and refreshed the book throughout, taking into account new scholarly literature, and revising or clarifying his treatment of such topics as the objectivity of value, epiphenomenalism and consciousness, and the possibility of autonomous agency.
