A controversial and compelling case can be made that this is the most important work in moral philosophy in 200 years. Its very far from entry level, but it'll pick up your mind and shatter it against grecian marble. Various factors will determine what your mind will be like when you put it back together.

>MacIntyre offers a strong critique of Friedrich Nietzsche, whom he calls the "King Kamehameha II of the European tradition," in reference to the Polynesian allegory above. MacIntyre explains that, "Nietzschean man, the Übermensch, [is] the man who transcends, finds his good nowhere in the social world to date, but only that in himself which dictates his own new law and his own new table of the virtues. Although he disagreed with Nietzsche's inegalitarian and elitist view of humankind, he acknowledged the validity of Nietzsche's critique of Enlightenment morality as an explanation of the latter's degeneration into emotivism, and that, like Kamehameha II, Nietzsche had identified the moral imperatives of his time as arbitrary and incoherent in demanding their abolition.

Sounds as if this Trash-Man-Last-Man couldn't handle the Neetch.
