Book Review: Brian Leiter (ed.), Nietzsche and Morality

Posted by Farhang Erfani on 9th January 2008

A review of Nietzsche and Morality:

This collection of essays contains some of the best recent work on Nietzsche and moral philosophy. The editors state that their aim is to present work that advances the understanding of Nietzsche's ethical views and demonstrates the relevance of those views to contemporary debates in normative ethics, metaethics, and moral psychology. In relation to these two ends, the collection is clearly a success. It presents very good historical scholarship as well as some first-rate work in moral philosophy that engages with the issues that concerned Nietzsche. Some essays are focused quite narrowly on topics in Nietzsche's writings while others spend less time on exegetical issues in order to examine in more detail Nietzsche's often-overlooked contributions to central questions in moral philosophy. The collection will certainly be of interest to moral philosophers and to those interested in the history of modern philosophy, and many of the essays should be regarded as essential reading for anyone interested in Nietzsche's engagement with morality.
