Nietzsche and the Origin of Virtue

In Ecce Homo (1908) Friedrich Nietzsche calls himself "e;the first immoralist"e; and adds "e;that makes me the annihilator par excellence"e;. Lester Hunt examines this and other radical claims in order to show that Nietzsche does have a coherent ethical and political philosophy. He uses Nietzsche's writings as a starting point for a critique of a wider, contemporary ethical project - one that should inform our lives as well as our thoughts.
