{"product_id":"the-deed-is-everything-aaron-ridley-9780198825449","title":"The Deed Is Everything: Nietzsche on Will and Action","description":"Nietzsche is often held to be a sceptic about human agency, keen to debunk it along every dimension. Rather than dismissing notions of autonomy and morality, The Deed is Everything presents a new and engaging interpretation of Nietzsche as being committed to an 'expressivist' conception of agency. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRidley argues that, contrary to debunking the existence of agents or selves, Nietzsche develops highly distinctive accounts of freedom, morality, and selfhood. The text revisits a variety of central Nietzschean themes - including self-creation, the sovereign individual, will to power, Kantian and Christian morality, and amor fati - often to unexpected effect. The Nietzsche who emerges from this analysis has a clear conception of human agency and a robust commitment to the value of human excellence in all of its forms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis comprehensive study of Nietzsche and expressive action is important reading for all Nietzsche scholars and philosophers of agency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aaron Ridley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198825447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198825449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2019","brand":"Aaron Ridley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119431479551,"sku":"9780198825449","price":86.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_22c9109c-80ff-4312-881b-fc447d295298.jpg?v=1687409310","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-deed-is-everything-aaron-ridley-9780198825449","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
