The companion book to Beyond Good & Evil the three essays included here offer vital insights into Nietzsche's theories of morality & human psychology Nietzsche claimed that the purpose of The Genealogy of Morals was to call attention to his previous writings But in fact the book does much more than that elucidating & expanding on the cryptic aphorisms of Beyond Good & Evil & signalling a return to the essay form In these three essays Nietzsche considers the development of ideas of 'good' & 'evil'; explores notions of guilt & bad consience; & discusses ascetic ideals & the purpose of the philosopher Together they form a coherent & complex discussion of morality in a work that is more accessible than some of Nietzsche's previous writings Friedrich Nietzsche was born near Leipzig in 1844 When he was only twenty-four he was appointed to the chair of classical philology at Basel University From 1880 however he divorced himself from everyday life & lived mainly abroad Works published in the 1880s include The Gay Science Thus Spoke Zarathustra Beyond Good & Evil On the Genealogy of Morals Twilight of the Idols & The Antichrist In January 1889 Nietzsche collapsed on a street in Turin & was subsequently institutionalized spending the rest of his life in a condition of mental & physical paralysis Works published after his death in 1900 include Will to Power based on his notebooks & Ecce Homo his autobiography Michael A Scarpitti is an independent scholar of philosophy whose principal interests include English & German thought of the eighteenth & nineteenth centuries as well as exegesis & translation theory Robert C Holub is currently Ohio Eminent Scholar & Professor of German at the Ohio State University Among his published works are monographs on Heinrich Heine German realism Friedrich Nietzsche literary & aesthetic theory & Jurgen Habermas ...

Keeping in mind that we can only see the universe from the comfort of our home galaxy Bascom begins his text by meticulously laying the necessary groundwork to understand the Big Bang's mathematics without using any equations He then paints a freeze-frame picture of our universe as if we had taken a three-dimensional picture with a giant camera Within this picture he traces forces beginning with the smallest (a single atom) to the biggest (the cosmos) keeping in mind that in this frozen moment everything further away from the observer spatially is also further away from the observer in time; that is older Soon a very real & very vivid image of the Big Bang appears (especially in things that are loud or hot) echoing down through time & into our everyday lives reflected in every atom during every measurement Then slowly but deliberately Bascom unfreezes this picture ratcheting each moment from one to the next showing us how & why quantum particles are constantly in contact with the Big Bang & why that allows the particles to pop in & out of existence from moment to moment what a photon is & what exactly we mean when we say that free space has energy Whether you're interested in the Big Bang the weirdness of quantum mechanics or simply enjoy thinking about the biggest loudest & oldest things in our universe this book will help you question your deepest notions about time & space while staying firmly rooted in empirical observation Throughout the text Bascom sidesteps traditional non-fiction modes using colorful explanations & vivid imagery to place the reader in simultaneous contact with both the Big Bang & fundamental particles As a result Bascom provides the tools & language necessary to contemplate the strangeness of our universe ...
