In Nietzsche: The Ethics of an Immoralist, Peter Berkowitz challenges this new orthodoxy, asserting that it produces a one-dimensional picture of Nietzsche?s philosophical explorations and passes by much of what is provocative and problematic in his thought. Berkowitz argues that Nietzsche?s thought is rooted in extreme and conflicting opinions about metaphysics and human nature. Discovering a deep unity in Nietzsche?s work by exploring the structure and argumentative movement of a wide range of his books, Berkowitz shows that Nietzsche is a moral and political philosopher in the Socratic sense whose governing question is, ?What is the best life?? Nietzsche, Berkowitz argues, puts forward a severe and aristocratic ethics, an ethics of creativity, that demands that the few human beings who are capable acquire a fundamental understanding of and attain total mastery over the world. Following the path of Nietzsche?s thought, Berkowitz shows that this mastery, which represents a suprapolitical form of rule and entails a radical denigration of political life, is, from Nietzsche?s own perspective, neither desirable nor attainable. Out of the colorful and richly textured fabric of Nietzsche?s books, Peter Berkowitz weaves an interpretation of Nietzsche?s achievement that is at once respectful and skeptical, an interpretation that brings out the love of truth, the courage, and the yearning for the good that mark Nietzsche?s magisterial effort to live an examined life by giving an account of the best life. 410 0$aPerspectives in cognitive neuroscience. 606 $aConsciousness 606 $aTime perception 606 $aMemory 606 $aCognitive neuroscience 606 $aSenses and sensation 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aConsciousness. 615 0$aTime perception. 615 0$aMemory. 615 0$aCognitive neuroscience. 615 0$aSenses and sensation. 676 $a193 700 $aLibet$b Benjamin$f1916-2007.$0629922 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455198203321 996 $aMind time$91223473 997 $aUNINA
