Description
Book SynopsisCan one think of freedom and responsibility simultaneously despite Nietzsche's philosophical critique of truth and morality? John Mandalios argues that Nietzsche's account of our all-too-human existence shows the preponderance of master and slave forms of value, of ethical life, and of their vicissitudes across time and space.
Trade ReviewNietzsche’s philosophy of freedom is both a critique of morality in its existing form and a bold project of human transformation. In the work of John Mandalios, this complex theme receives the full-length treatment it has needed. With its acute analyses and wide-ranging scholarship, Nietzsche and the Necessity of Freedom brings a strong and original voice to Nietzsche studies. It is a book that will not only inform current debate, but also raise new issues. -- Robin Small, author of Nietzsche in Context and Nietzsche and Rée: A Star Friendship
