Nietzsche Now! (eBook, ePUB)

The Great Immoralist on the Vital Issues of Our Time

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

For readers both acquainted with and new to the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, Nietzsche NOW! frames and explains Nietzsche's thinking on topics of immediate contemporary concern and relevance. Wallis unpacks Nietzsche's complex philosophy with a deft, empathetic, and brilliantly subtle analysis of the views of the Great Immoralist on democracy, identity, civilization, consciousness, religion, and other momentous topics. Throughout, Wallis includes ample extracts from Nietzsche himself.

Rather than skirting what is controversial or editing for easy consumption, Wallis invites readers to exercise a courageous curiosity that yields a rich, nuanced understanding of Nietzsche. In Nietzsche NOW! he takes readers on a sometimes counterintuitive, always revelatory journey to grasp the relevance of Nietzsche for our contentious times.

Nietzsche NOW! contains Wallis's original German translations of Nietzsche's writings from the critical edition along with insights drawn from a decades-long close study of Nietzsche's works and their academic reception.
