Beyond Selflessness - Christopher (University of Southampton) Janaway - Bog

Christopher Janaway presents a full commentary on Nietzsche's most studied work, On the Genealogy of Morality, and combines close reading of key passages with an exploration of Nietzsche's wider aims. Unlike other books on Nietzsche, Beyond Selflessness situates Nietzsche against the work of thinkers he considers his opponents, Schopenhauer and Paul Rée; emphasises the significance of Nietzsche's rhetorical methods as an instrument of
persuasion; and examines recent analytical readings of Nietzsche as a philosophical naturalist. Everyone who works on Nietzsche will find this a richly rewarding book.
