Nietzsche is one of the most important and widely read philosophers
of all time and his On the Genealogy of Morals is one of the most
accessible and frequently studied of all his works - a key text in
the study of moral philosophy. This is a hugely important and
exciting, yet challenging, piece of philosophical writing. In
Nietzsche's 'On the Genealogy of Morals': A Reader's Guide, Daniel
Conway explains the philosophical background against which the book
was written, the wider context of Western morality in general and
the key themes and topics inherent in the text. The book then
guides the reader through the four sections of the text to a clear
understanding of how they relate to each other and to the text as a
whole, before exploring the reception and influence of this classic
philosophical work. This is the ideal companion to study of this
most influential and challenging of texts.
Thomas Paine was an influential revolutionary pamphleteer, whose
writings were instrumental in bringing about some significant
political changes. His mastery of language was rivalled only by
Swift and Cobbett. British-born, he emigrated to America in 1775
where his pamphlet "Common Sense" (1776) was directly responsible
for the coming about of American independence. The "Rights of Man",
published in 1791 became the founding text of the British working
class movement. As part of his argument for man's natural rights
Paine anticipated the Welfare State, arguing as early as 1797 for
poor relief, old-age pensions and unemployment projects. Paine's
importance lies not so much in the depth of his political
philosophy as in his great abilities as communicator of political
ideas. This text dicusses and considers the various implications of
Paine's writings.
