About this Item

SHEPARDSON BOOKSTALL, 20 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE. Chocolate Brown Leatherette (but Scan shows it as greenish), nice clean little book, in Spine #2 (1919-25); BL logo on front (1919-25); Brodzky Endpapers (1919-25); and maroon topstain. No DJ. 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).
