(2010) Nietzsche's Gay science, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
In sections eleven to thirty-three Nietzsche overturns the conventional view of consciousness and examines some common evaluations of qualities, interpersonal relationships, and states of society. In doing so he discloses the hypocrisy and destructiveness of traditional morality and cautions us not to absolutize even nobility. Nietzsche emphasizes the importance of the capacity for continual change and the significance of affirmative renunciation in life. He points out the effect of genuinely great humans, the manipulations of the famous, and some undesirable attitudes for aspiring Nietzschean philosophers.
