Product Description In Beyond Good and Evil Nietzsche calls on new philosophers to carry on the process of reinterpretation and revaluation that will constitute the philosophy of the future. This reconsideration will be pursued in what Nietzsche describes as a "postmoral" manner. The nine prominent interpreters in this collection examine different aspects of this postmoral agenda and show how Nietzsche's efforts to reorient philosophical thinking are of great importance to the way we understand ourselves, our values, our concepts of virtue, and our morality today. Through this examination Nietzsche emerges as a reconstructive rather than a deconstructive thinker. | ||

Comprehensive and insightful This compilation of articles is clear and covers a lot of ground. Some fundamental understanding of the philosophy of Nietzsche is absolutely necessary. This is NOT an introductory book, but a comprehensive analysis of a broad selection of Nietzschean themes. I've never seen so many ideas in one book! However, it is quite readable and you can still follow the argumentation, even if you haven't read all the background philosophers who influenced Nietzsche's work. I used this book to argue for the similarities between Buddhist theosophy and Nietzsche, and it worked marvellously. | ||
