Nietzsche: A Critical Reader (Blackwell Critical Readers)
Nietzsche A Critical Reader - Blackwell Critical Readers Author:Blackwell Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) has exerted a decisive and radical influence on the central themes of twentieth-century philosophy, art and literature. Who Nietzsche actually was, and what his thought can be construed to mean and imply, are questions that have been addressed in a variety of ways by authors ranging from Lukacs and Adorno ... more »to Kaufmann and Derrida. Yet no single reading seems able to dominate or determine the entire terrain of Nietzsche's intellectual heritage. With that in mind, this volume collects together a record of the key readings that comprise the three principal traditions or methodologies of Nietzsche interpretation: the Anglo-American, German, and French traditions. In so doing, the volume provides a key record of and guide to the central elements of Nietzsche scholarship, and encourages an appreciation of the divergences and similarities that both separate and unify these interpretations of Nietzsche's work. Containing an extensive introduction to Nietzsche interpretation, a comprehensive and up-to-date bibliography, and a glossary of key terms, the volume is essential reading for students encountering Nietzsche's work for the very first time, and is the ideal basis for a course.« less
