BROOKLINE BOOKSTALL, 20 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE. RARE SURVIVING COPY: Brown Leatherette; BL gold logo on front; brown marble endpapers; C4 Table with 50 titles makes this SPRING 1918. SYNOPSIS: Nietzsche exposes the deficiencies of those usually called "philosophers" and identifies the qualities of the "new philosophers": imagination, self-assertion, danger, originality, and the "creation of values". He then contests some of the key presuppositions of the old philosophic tradition like "self-consciousness," "knowledge," "truth," and "free will", explaining them as inventions of the moral consciousness (Wiki).
