In lucid, accessible language, these books explain essential topics such as Nietzsche's thinking on beauty, truth, and memory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Nietzsche's thinking revolves around a new and striking concept of humanity--a humanity that has come to terms with the death of God and practices the art and science of living well, free of the need for metaphysical certainties and moral absolutes. How, then, are we to live? And what do we love?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Keith Ansell Pearson introduces the reader to Nietzsche's distinctive philosophical style and to the development of his thought. Through a series of close readings of Nietzsche's aphorisms he illuminates some of his best-known but often ill-understood ideas, including eternal recurrence and the superman, and he brings to light the challenging nature of Nietzsche's thinking on key topics such as beauty, truth, and memory. Extracts are taken from a range of Nietzsche's work, including \u003cem\u003eHuman, All Too Human\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eThe Gay Science\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eThus Spoke Zarathustra\u003c\/em\u003e; and \u003cem\u003eOn the Genealogy of Morality\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePearson, Keith Ansell:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Keith Ansell Pearson is professor of philosophy and director of graduate research at the University of Warwick.
