Description: Basic Writings, Hardcover by Ree, Paul; Small, Robin (TRN), ISBN 025202818X, ISBN-13 9780252028182, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This book contains the first English translations of The Origin of the Moral Sensations and Psychological Observations, the two most important works by the German philosopher Paul Re. These essays present Res moral philosophy, which influenced the ideas of his close friend Friedrich Nietzsche considerably. Nietzsche scholars have often incorrectly attributed to him arguments and ideas that are Res and have failed to detect responses to Res works in Nietzsches writings. Res thinking combined two strands: a pessimistic conception of human nature, presented in the French moralists aphoristic style that would become a mainstay of Nietzsches own writings, and a theory of morality derived from Darwins theory of natural selection. Res moral Darwinism was a central factor prompting Nietzsche to write On the Genealogy of Morals and the groundwork for much of todays evolutionary ethics. In an illuminating critical introduction, Robin Small examines Res life and work, locating his application of evolutionary concepts to morality within a broader history of Darwinism while exploring Res theoretical and personal relationship with Nietzsche. In placing Nietzsche in his intellectual and social context, Small profoundly challenges the myth of Nietzsche as a solitary thinker.
