{"product_id":"nietzsches-psychology-of-ressentiment-guy-elgat-9781138724808","title":"Nietzsche's Psychology of Ressentiment: Revenge and Justice in on the Genealogy of Morals","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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Guy Elgat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138724807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138724808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Guy Elgat","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136519287039,"sku":"9781138724808","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7181f07c-679d-47f6-9289-53ee17357d8c.jpg?v=1770163196","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nietzsches-psychology-of-ressentiment-guy-elgat-9781138724808","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
