John Richardson here organizes Nietzsches thinking around the central and unifying concept of values. Richardson maps in detail Nietzsches arguments, which crucially distinguish three basic ways of valuing. The first is the valuing Nietzsche attributes to all living things, and to us humans in our bodies Nietzsche insists that we already value in our drives and affects. The second is our distinctively human valuing, which we carry out as subjects and agents these conscious and worded values are superimposed on those bodily ones, in ways Nietzsche finds deeply problematic. The third is the new way of valuing that Nietzsche offers as his lesson from that diagnosis and critique of our human values these new values are centered on a universal affirmation or "Yes," epitomized in the thought of eternal return. Each of the books twelve chapters examines a different aspect of one of these ways of valuing, showing the complexity of Nietzsches thinking on its topic, but also its unity and consistency. Incorporating recent advances in philosophical scholarship on Nietzsche, Richardsons thoughtprovoking new interpretation will serve as a vital updated reference point for future work.
