In this book John Richardson argues for centering the concept of values in the study of Nietzsche''s philosophical thinking. He identifies twelve of Nietzsche''s key concepts, and organizes them into three sections: the first two outline how values influence human behavior and self-conception, while the third presents new values Nietzsche himself defines in response to his previous critiques. The study builds on recent scholarship in philosophy and provides one of the most up-to-date comprehensive assessments of Nietzsche.
