Friedrich Nietzsche is one of the most influential thinkers of the past 150 years and On the Genealogy of Morality (1887) is his most important work on ethics and politics. A polemical contribution to moral and political theory, it offers a critique of moral values and traces the historical evolution of concepts such as guilt, conscience, responsibility, law and justice. This is a revised and updated 2006 edition of one of the most successful volumes to appear in Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought. Keith Ansell-Pearson modified his introduction to Nietzsche's classic text, and Carol Diethe incorporated a number of changes to the translation itself, reflecting the considerable advances in our understanding of Nietzsche. In this guise the Cambridge Texts edition of Nietzsche's Genealogy should continue to enjoy widespread adoption, at both undergraduate and graduate level.

Product description

Review

'The clarity of the … translation and the supporting apparatus (chronology, further reading, biographical synopses, and index) make this an excellent edition for student use, as indeed it is intended. … what makes [it] particularly useful is the inclusion of material from other works by Nietzsche to which the Genealogy refers, such as Human, All Too Human, Daybreak, Beyond Good and Evil, and The Gay Science, as well as … the early texts, 'The Greek State' and 'Homer's Contest'.' British Journal for the History of Philosophy

Book Description

A revised and updated 2003 edition of Nietzsche's classic text reflecting the considerable advances in understanding of his works.

I don't speak German so I couldn't tell you if the translation is or isn't spot on. What I can tell you is that (if you have the mind for it) discerning the argument within this book is possible. With that said though, Nietzsche's mind appears to be a bit scrambled because it isn't how philosophers write today: orderly, organized. Nietzsche's argument is similar to John Stuart Mill's book "Utilitarianism" and Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics", all of which are more like puzzles to unravel rather than straight-forward theories. With that said, attaining a strong understanding of Nietzsche's moral philosophy contained within this book will leave you feeling excited and, quite possibly, depressed at the same time. But you're gonna have to read it for yourself to know what I mean. Oh, just remember...Nietzsche...well, let's say he 'strongly disliked' Christianity, especially priests. Knowing the priests' role in Nietzsche's genealogy of morality is necessary for understanding the bigger picture he's trying to illustrate about the change of morality throughout time. But yeah, like I said, read it for yourself to know what I mean.

Don't question the title.

I have read many translations of this work (I have little German) and this one is good. But the value of the book is in its introduction, which is excellent, particularly if this is ine of your first forays into this great and exasperating work. You wont regret the extra money spent on this edition if you read the introduction. Also, for those *readers* out there: the pages are of excellent paper, the print is clear and sharp, and the binding very strong. The physical book itself is of very high quality and (I speak from experience) holds up well to every manner of abuse.
