Justin Remhof

Nietzsche as Metaphysician

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book defends the controversial view that Nietzsche is a metaphysician against a tendency to sever Nietzsche from metaphysical philosophy. It shows that for Nietzsche the questions, answers, methods, and subject matters of metaphysics are not only perfectly legitimate, but also crucial for understanding the world and our place within it.

Rezensionen

"Remhof's book opens up a conversation about Nietzsche's status as a metaphysical thinker and shows that how we interpret his metaphysics is not just of theoretical interest but of practical importance. Anyone with an interest in Nietzsche's philosophy should be interested in reading this book."

Tsarina Doyle, National University of Ireland, Galway

"A clear merit of Remhof's book is that it takes seriously the issue of clarifying what metaphysics is before arguing that some central tenets of Nietzsche's thought belong to it . . . It will provide a serious challenge to resolute anti-metaphysical interpreters."

Mattia Riccardi, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

"Remhof's book is provocative, rich, clearly written, and tightly argued. I find myself in broad agreement with Remhof when he writes: 'In all honesty, I think Nietzsche is easily a metaphysician.' ... I think Remhof has established without a reasonable doubt that mining Nietzsche's works for metaphysical views, including weird ones, is both legitimate and philosophically fruitful, and I look forward to more work of this style in the future."

James Kinkaid, Journal of Nietzsche Studies
