A landmark work of western philosophy, "On the Genealogy of
Morality" is a dazzling and brilliantly incisive attack on European
"morality". Combining philosophical acuity with psychological
insight in prose of remarkable rhetorical power, Nietzsche takes up
the task of offering us reasons to engage in a re-evaluation of our
values. In this book, David Owen offers a reflective and insightful
analysis of Nietzsche's text. He provides an account of how
Nietzsche comes to the project of the re-evaluation of values; he
shows how the development of Nietzsche's understanding of the
requirements of this project lead him to acknowledge the need for
the kind of investigation of "morality" that he terms "genealogy";
he elucidates the general structure and substantive arguments of
Nietzsche's text, accounting for the rhetorical form of these
arguments, and he debates the character of genealogy (as
exemplified by Nietzsche's "Genealogy") as a form of critical
enquiry. Owen argues that there is a specific development of
Nietzsche's work from his earlier "Daybreak" (1881) and that in
"Genealogy of Morality", Nietzsche is developing a critique of
modes of agency and that this constitutes the most fundamental
aspect of his demand for a revaluation of values. The book is a
distinctive and significant contribution to our understanding of
Nietzsche's great text.
