Opis

The Deed is Everything offers an engaging new interpretation of Nietzsche as committed to an 'expressivist' conception of agency. Aaron Ridley shows that Nietzsche develops highly distinctive accounts of freedom, morality, and selfhood, with a robust commitment to the value of human excellence in all of its forms.

Recenzje

Students and scholars interested in contemporary approaches to Nietzsche's account of the self will appreciate this book, and Ridley's many clear and illuminating examples will help students get a sense of what Nietzsche's expressivist account has to offer.
