{"product_id":"nietzsches-psychology-of-ressentiment","title":"Nietzsche's Psychology of Ressentiment","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRessentiment\u003c\/em\u003e—the hateful desire for revenge—plays a pivotal role in Nietzsche’s \u003ci\u003eOn the Genealogy of Morals\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eRessentiment \u003c\/i\u003eexplains the formation of bad conscience, guilt, asceticism, and, most importantly, it motivates the \"slave revolt\" that gives rise to Western morality’s values. \u003ci\u003eRessentiment\u003c\/i\u003e, however, has not enjoyed a thorough treatment in the secondary literature. This book brings it sharply into focus and provides the first detailed examination of Nietzsche’s psychology of \u003ci\u003eressentiment\u003c\/i\u003e. Unlike other books on the \u003ci\u003eGenealogy\u003c\/i\u003e, it uses \u003ci\u003eressentiment\u003c\/i\u003e as a key to the \u003ci\u003eGenealogy\u003c\/i\u003e and focuses on the intriguing relationship between \u003ci\u003eressentiment\u003c\/i\u003e and justice. It shows how \u003ci\u003eressentiment\u003c\/i\u003e, despite its blindness to justice, gives rise to moral justice—the central target of Nietzsche’s critique. This critique notwithstanding, the \u003ci\u003eGenealogy\u003c\/i\u003e shows Nietzsche’s enduring commitment to the virtue of \u003ci\u003enon-moral\u003c\/i\u003e justice: a commitment that grounds his provocative view that moral justice spells the ‘end of justice’. The result provides a novel view of Nietzsche's moral psychology in the \u003ci\u003eGenealogy\u003c\/i\u003e, his critique of morality, and his views on justice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54235523154264,"sku":"9781138724808","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138724808.jpg?v=1769012123","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/nietzsches-psychology-of-ressentiment","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
