At the core of Nietzsche's famous critique of 'morality' lies the sweeping claim that morality is the primary source of a stance of 'life-denial,' and hence an obstacle to the possibility of an affirmative stance toward life. Moral values, Nietzsche argues, are inimical to the affirmation of life, since they typically denigrate certain ineliminable features of the world and human existence (suffering, loss, impermanence, the body, instinctual desire). Other values, allegedly, are life-affirming because they cultivate or augment a life-affirming tendency. Nietzsche's pervasive concern with undermining morality and fostering an affirmative attitude towards life are thus closely intertwined: he attacks morality because it underwrites a condemnation of life and seeks to supplant morality with an alternative, life-enhancing ethics of affirmation. This volume brings together a number of new essays by leading Nietzsche scholars to examine these centrally important and overlapping themes in Nietzsche's philosophical enterprise.

This book examines Nietzsche's views on morality in order to assess his contribution to moral philosophy. Frank Cameron explores Nietzsche's understanding of morality, the infamous 'campaign against morality, ' and his engagement with key figures in moral philosophy, including the influences of Schopenhauer and Rée, as well as the main figures representing the three major ethical traditions - Kant, Mill, and Aristotle. Cameron argues that Nietzsche's fundamental 'ethical' preoccupation with 'higher type' forms the basis of his ethic of human flourishing, but refutes that Nietzsche's positive morality fits comfortably within the moral tradition. In particular, Cameron challenges the attempts to situate Nietzsche within the tradition of virtue ethics. Nietzsche defends his affirmative ethic by presenting the character of Zarathustra (Thus Spoke Zarathustra) and later himself (Ecce Homo) as exemplars of human excellence who must rely on their ability to convince others performatively, rather than by means of discourse or argumentation.

In this essay I suggest that there are certain concepts in Nietzsche's middle period (Human All Too Human, Daybreak, The Gay Science) that can be further developed as a possible characterization of morality in a non-pejorative sense if seen through the lenses of philosophy as a way of life. This understanding of the philosophical enterprise revolves around the idea of practice, of philosophising as a certain exercise and technique, in which the question "how does one live" is not conceived as an epistemological or descriptive initiative but rather as a necessarily unfinished task, a disposition even, deprived of teleological pretences, instantiated in our very bodies and relationships. These, I believe, are pertinent even today for the conception of what philosophy does, and the individual and collective consequences of it. I believe this version of morality and of philosophy is one that Nietzsche develops in this middle period due to two main features...
