Nietzsche's Moral Psychology (Paperback)

Nietzsche, a trained philologist, frequently urges his readers to
interpret him carefully. In this book, Mark Alfano combines
detailed close reading with digital methods (corpus analysis and
semantic network visualization) to reframe our understanding of
this major figure. He argues that virtue is a neglected concept in
Nietzsche's writings, and sets out a fresh interpretation of
Nietzschean virtues as well-calibrated drives. As different people
embody different constellations of drives, so virtues differ from
person to person. For Nietzsche himself, Alfano argues, five
virtues are essential: curiosity, courage, a sense of humor, and
pathos of distance (that is, contemptuousness) toward one's self
and toward one's society. This innovative and original book will be
invaluable for historians of philosophy, contemporary researchers
in moral psychology and virtue theory, and philosophers interested
in the fast-growing methodologies of the digital humanities.
