A guide to one of the most clearly developed statements of Nietzsche's mature philosophy Adopting an interpretative approach throughout, Daniel Conway treats this text as a coherent, unified and carefully crafted complete text. When treated this way, Beyond Good and Evil reveals itself as a guide to the education that Nietzsche prescribes for his best readers, at the brink of the new, post-moral era. Conway makes sense of the overarching aims and structure of the book at the same time as providing a broader context for the arguments Nietzsche makes, and positions he stakes out. Requiring no prior knowledge of the text or of Nietzsche, he guides you through the text with the reward of a more developed reading of the distinctly political agenda that emerges in the second half of Beyond Good and Evil. Daniel Conway is Professor of Philosophy and Humanities, Affiliate Professor of Film Studies and Religious Studies, and Courtesy Professor in the School of Law and the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University (USA).
