Daniel Conway

Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Guides you through one of the most clearly developed statements of Nietzsche's mature philosophy, section by section

• Pays sustained attention to the philosophical arguments and rhetorical strategies that inform Beyond Good and Evil and advance its main narrative
• Carefully analyses the influential concepts and hypotheses, for example: will to power, the death of God, master-morality vs slave-morality, the order of rank, the noble soul and the return of Dionysus
• Profiles the 'philosophers of the future', whom Nietzsche envisions as 'commanders and legislators'
• Dedicates a chapter to each section, each including a preview, a summary of sections and a review
• Helpful student features include chronology, a glossary of key terms and a guide to further reading

Adopting an interpretative approach throughout, Daniel Conway treats Beyond Good and Evil as a coherent, unified and carefully crafted complete text. When treated this way, the text reveals itself as a guide to the education that Nietzsche prescribes for his best readers, at the brink of the new, post-moral era. Conway makes sense of the overarching aims and structure of the book at the same time as providing a broader context for the arguments Nietzsche makes and the positions he stakes out. Requiring no prior knowledge of the text or of Nietzsche, he guides you through the text with the reward of a more developed reading of the distinctly political agenda that emerges in the second half of Beyond Good and Evil.
