Nietzsche and Contemporary Ethics, Hardback Book

Nietzsche and Contemporary Ethics Hardback

Hardback

Description

Nietzsche is one of the most subversive thinkers of the western philosophical canon.

Yet until recently, his ethics has been sidelined within Anglophone moral philosophy.

Simon Robertson offers the first sustained, single-authored critical assessment of his ethical thought and its significance, arguing that Nietzsche raises well-motivated challenges to morality's objectivity, authority, and value.

Nietzsche and Contemporary Ethics develops insightful arguments about ethical objectivity, the pitfalls of internalising moral values, and the relation between good and bad.

Robertson concludes by considering Nietzsche's broader import: how he challenges our usual views of what ethics itself is--and what it, and we, should be doing.
