Description
Book SynopsisThis introductory textbook provides a comprehensive, close reading of Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morality, with a section-by-section analysis that shows how the Genealogy holds together as an integrated whole. It will appeal to students at every level reading the Genealogy for the first time.
Trade Review'This is precisely the kind of book that one wants as a guide: it is written in clear prose, persuasive, insightful, and illuminating. It is distinctive in that it takes Nietzsche's work as a whole book rather than a collection of aphorisms or series of essays, and its examination of the work's prominent themes is insightful and helpful.' Professor Christa Davis Acampora, Hunter College, New York
