Klappentext Until the time of Karl Marx and John Stuart Mill, philosophers generally held economics to be an integral element of moral philosophy. These days, the language of values-moral, aesthetic, and cognitive-dominates philosophic discourse, even though contemporary philosophers rarely hold economics to be integral to moral philosophy. Examining the thought of Friedrich Nietzsche and the art of Marcel Proust, Edward Andrew provides the first sustained critical analysis of values discourse, an analysis that deconstructs its content and its form. A very fine and provocative piece of research. -- Bernard Yack, University of Wisconsin, Madison Edward Andrew has done us a real service, by advancing a convincing account of the origins of this subjectivist language in which we are entangled... we should look forward to Andrew's next book. -- Gerald Owen Books In Canada ...thought provoking...
