Books in the Nietzsche Today series

This collection establishes Nietzsche's importance as a political philosopher. It includes a substantial introduction and eighteen chapters by some of the most renowned Nietzsche scholars. The book examines Nietzsche's connections with political thought since Plato, major influences on him, his methodology, and his influence on subsequent thought. The book includes extensive coverage of the debate between radical aristocratic readings of Nietzsche, and more liberal or democratic readings. Close readings of Nietzsche's texts are combined with a contextualising approach to build up a complete picture of his place in political philosophy. Topics include the relevance of Bonapartism and classical liberalism, Nietzsche on Christianity, the cultural history of Germany, the Ubermensch, ethics and politics in Nietzsche, and the controversial question of his political preferences and affinities. Nietzsche's political thought is compared with that of Humboldt, Weber and Foucault. The book is essential reading for anyone concerned with Nietzsche's thought, political philosophy, and the history of political ideas.

The problem of subjectivity has become crucial in recent debates in Nietzschean scholarship and is key to understanding Nietzsche's relation to modern philosophy, as well as his tremendous impact on philosophy from the time of his death until today. This title addresses in a comprehensive way one of the main issues raised by Nietzsche's thought.

Nietzsche was a severe critic of German Idealism, but what exactly is the relation between his thought and theirs? In this book, papers from specialists in Kant, Hegel, Schelling, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche contribute to an understanding of the differences and affinities between Nietzsche's philosophy and that of his predecessors.

Nietzsche's metaphor of the spider that spins its cobweb expresses his critique of the metaphysical use of language - but it also suggests that "we, spiders", are able to spin different, life-affirming, non-metaphysical cobwebs.

Offers various considerations of Nietzsche's attempt to connect language to the instinctive activity of the human body. This title focuses on how Nietzsche tries to dissolve the traditional opposition between instinct and language, as well as between instinct and consciousness and instinct and reason.
