Review: "This collection of new essays, published in the centenary of Nietzsche's death, offers an extensive reassessment of his contributions to philosophy and represents a helpful guide to an important part of the current landscape of Nietzsche studies." "In Beyond Good and Evil Nietzsche calls on "new philosophers" to carry on the process of reinterpretation and revaluation that will characterize the "philosophy of the future." This reconsideration is to be pursued in a "postmoral" manner, "beyond good and evil." The nine interpreters in this collection examine different aspects of this postmoral agenda and show the importance of Nietzsche's efforts to reorient philosophical thinking about the way we understand ourselves, our values, and morality today. Nietzsche emerges here as a provocatively reconstructive rather than a merely deconstructive thinker."--BOOK JACKET.
