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","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47614608867479,"sku":"9780801435577","price":16525.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780801435577.webp?v=1775094936","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/nietzsches-conscience-9780801435577","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
