Zusammenfassung:Nietzsche's works are replete with discussions of moral psychology, but to date there has been no systematic analysis of his account. How does Nietzsche understand human motivation, deliberation, agency, and selfhood? How does his account of the unconscious inform these topics? What is Nietzsche's conception of freedom, and how do we become free? Should freedom be a goal for all of us? How does - and how should - the individual relate to his social context? 'The Nietzschean Self' offers a clear, comprehensive analysis of these central topics in Nietzsche's moral psychology.
