| Summary |
This book is a guide to On the Genealogy of Morality, one of Nietzsche's greatest, if often challenging, works. Taking recent scholarship on board and using it to inform its analyses of the Genealogy, the guide introduces readers of all levels to the major arguments found in the Genealogy. And where certain arguments are left underdeveloped by Nietzsche, the guide also shows how arguments he develops elsewhere clarify and buttress what he says in the Genealogy |
