Nietzsche's Ethics and His War on 'Morality'

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Nietzsche famously attacked traditional morality, and propounded a controversial ethics of "life-enhancement." Simon May presents a radically new view of Nietzsche's thought, which is shown to be both revolutionary and conservative, and to have much to offer us today after the demise of old values and the "death of God."
