Taking seriously the use that Nietzsche makes of human types, Ridley arranges his book thematically around the six characters who loom largest in that work--the slave, the priest, the philosopher, the artist, the scientist, and the noble. By elucidating what the \u003ci\u003eGenealogy\u003c\/i\u003e says about these figures, he achieves a persuasive new assessment of Nietzsche's ethics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRidley's intellectually supple interpretation reveals Nietzsche's ethical position to be deeper and more interesting than is often supposed: the relation, for instance, between Nietzsche's ideal of the noble and the ascetic or priestly conscience does not emerge as a stark opposition but as a rich interplay between the tensions inherent in each. Equally, he shows that certain under-appreciated confusions in Nietzsche's thought reveal much about the positive aspects of the philosopher's moral vision. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe only book devoted entirely to the \u003ci\u003eGenealogy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNietzsche's Conscience\u003c\/i\u003e offers a sympathetic but tough-minded critical reading of the philosopher's most important work. Delivered in clear and vigorous language and employing a broadly analytical approach, Ridley's commentary makes Nietzsche's reflections on morality more accessible than they have been hitherto.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAaron Ridley is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy and Associate Director of the Centre for Post-Analytic Philosophy at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom.
