Exploring Nietzsche's moral psychology, this book systematically analyzes his views on human motivation, agency, and selfhood. It delves into the distinction between conscious and unconscious mental events, introducing his concept of 'drives' and their relationship to desires, affects, and values. The text further examines Nietzsche's ideas on freedom and the individual's connection to their social context, asserting that his perspectives offer significant advantages over traditional models from Aristotle, Hume, and Kant, while also aiming to enrich contemporary discussions in moral psychology and philosophy of action.
