Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morals has become a central text
for understanding the thinker and his impact on moral philosophy.
Yet his account of the rise of political society and its relation
to morality has generally been overlooked, in large part because of
its strange and often confusing character. In The Rise of Politics
and Morality in Nietzsche's Genealogy: From Chaos to Conscience,
Jeffrey Metzger devotes careful attention to Nietzsche's analysis
of the origin of political society in the Second Essay and its
intertwining with the development of morality and religion. Focused
on how that account places Nietzsche's understanding of humanity in
his larger conceptions of nature and the will to power, the book
further considers how Nietzsche grounds his thought in the world as
he presents it, and the strengths and weaknesses of Nietzsche's
approach to this crucial moment in human development. This book
will interest philosophers, political theorists, and anyone else
interested in Nietzsche and his contribution to our understanding
of how we became human.
