Nietzsche And Morality by Brian Leiter
Leiter presents Nietzsche as a naturalistic, anti‑realist moral thinker who treats value judgments as expressions of psychological drives and social power rather than as objective facts. He reconstructs the genealogy of morals and the critique of Christian ‘‘slave’’ morality—especially the role of ressentiment—while defending an interpretation that emphasizes perspectivism, the rejection of independent moral facts, and the call for a revaluation toward life‑affirming, aristocratic ideals. The book situates these readings within contemporary metaethical debates, arguing that Nietzsche anticipates forms of moral naturalism and psychological explanation that challenge moral realism and conventional ethical commitments.
