Taking seriously the use that Nietzsche makes of human types, Ridley arranges his book thematically around the six characters who loom largest in that work—the slave, the priest, the philosopher, the artist, the scientist, and the noble. By elucidating what the \u003ci\u003eGenealogy\u003c\/i\u003e says about these figures, he achieves a persuasive new assessment of Nietzsche's ethics. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRidley's intellectually supple interpretation reveals Nietzsche's ethical position to be deeper and more interesting than is often supposed: the relation, for instance, between Nietzsche's ideal of the noble and the ascetic or priestly conscience does not emerge as a stark opposition but as a rich interplay between the tensions inherent in each. Equally, he shows that certain under-appreciated confusions in Nietzsche's thought reveal much about the positive aspects of the philosopher's moral vision. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe only book devoted entirely to the \u003ci\u003eGenealogy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNietzsche's Conscience\u003c\/i\u003e offers a sympathetic but tough-minded critical reading of the philosopher's most important work. Delivered in clear and vigorous language and employing a broadly analytical approach, Ridley's commentary makes Nietzsche's reflections on morality more accessible than they have been hitherto.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Note on Sources\u003c\/i\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Chapter One: The Slave\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Two: The Priest\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Three: The Philosopher\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Four: The Artist\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Five: The Scientist\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Six: The Noble\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52670840471832,"sku":"9780801485534","price":25.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/nietzsches-conscience-six-character-studies-from-the-genealogy-paperback-softback-9780801485534","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
