Acampora Christa Davis(Editor) - Nietzsches On the genealogy of morals: critical essays

I am grateful to Steven Cahn for suggesting I consider the project, to Eve DeVaro for her reception to the idea, and, especially, to Tessa Fallon and Emily Ross for assistance with a variety of technical questions and tasks. Frank Kirkland made possible some administrative assistance during various stages of manuscript preparation, and Nathan Metzger provided early research assistance and collection of materials that proved very helpful. Special thanks are owed to Ben Abelson, Brian Crowley, Adele Sarli, and Catherine Schoeder, who read most if not all of the nearly one hundred articles and book chapters that were considered for possible inclusion in the book. My weekly discussions with them were always informative and interesting. Brian Crowley and David Pereplyotchik graciously aided with the preparation of the index. Persons too numerous to name generously discussed the books contents and arrangement with me over the past year, most notably Keith Ansell Pearson. Several contributors took additional time to edit their essays for publication here. I am particularly grateful for the assistance of Keith Ansell Pearson, Babette E. Babich, Dan Conway, Ken Gemes, Paul Loeb, Mark Migotti, David Owen, Alan Schrift, Gary Shapiro, and Tracy B. Strong. Finally, I wish to thank my family for patiently listening to my nearly daily recounting of both thrilling insights and complaints about permissions editors. To those not responsible for the latter, I extend my sincere gratitude.

All of the material presented in this volume has been edited. In many cases, previously published pieces were edited and/or revised by the authors. In the acknowledgements below, I indicate whether contributions were excerpted and edited and/ or revised by the author. Contents not listed below are now published for the first time.
