Nietzsche - Philosophie De La Légèreté

by Olivier Ponton

274,94€ + 10% CARD

 <html> <head><meta http-equiv=content-type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></head> <body> Nietzsches philosophy is a philosophy of lightness, a lightness which doesnt consist in breaking with gravity but in controlling it: being light is being able to take charge of life, ie bearing and loving it, wanting it. This book is first devoted to Greek lightness for Nietzsche finds in Ancient Greece the pattern for an alleviation which enables to unload ones drives without denying oneself. The study of Greek culture is thus the starting point of a close analysis of the human, all-too-human things, ie an inquiry whose orientation is definitely antimetaphysical, ie antiplatonic, antischopenhauerian and antiwagnerian: <UL> <LI>Nietzsche first shows that alleviation in religion has a double face: on the one hand, religion makes mans heart heavy with sinfulness; on the other hand it lightens it with the fiction of a merciful God. True alleviation thus consists in freeing oneself from religious lightening, and proclaiming the radical innocence of everything. <LI>Nietzsche also criticizes alleviation in art, ie a romantic alleviation. He shows that like alleviation in religion it requires a previous heaviness. Therefore he praises a classical art and an aesthetic of lightness. <LI>Nietzsche eventually focuses on a philosophical alleviation of life, defined as a freeing of spirit. Such a definition leads him to develop the doctrine of the closest things, which consist of the organization of a dietary alleviation of life.</LI></UL> </body> </html>

Nietzsche'S Political Economy

by Dmitri G. Safronov

178,21€ + 10% CARD

 Safronov’s Nietzsche’s Political Economy is a pioneering appraisal of Nietzsche’s critique of industrial culture and its unfolding crisis. The author contends that Nietzsche remains unique in conceptualizing the upheavals of modern political economy in terms of the crisis of its governing values. Nietzsche scrutinises the norms which, not only preside over the unfathomable build-up in debt, the proliferation of meaningless, impersonal slavery and the rise of increasingly repressive social control systems, but inevitably set these precarious tendencies of modern political economy on a collision course liable to culminate in an unprecedented human and environmental catastrophe. Safronov explores the core themes of Nietzsche’s political economy—debt, slavery, and the division of labour—with reference to the influential views of Adam Smith and Karl Marx, as well as against the backdrop of the Long Depression (1873-1896), the first truly international crisis of industrial capitalism, during which most of Nietzsche’s work was completed. In Nietzsche’s assessment, modern political economy is predicated on the valuations that diminish humankind’s prospects and harm the planet’s future by consistently enfeebling the present, as long as there is profit to be made from it. Nietzsche’s critical insight, which challenges the most fundamental tenet of modern economics and finance, is that in order to build a stronger and intrinsically more valuable future in lieu of simply speculating on it, as though the liberal Promised Land could descend upon us like the manna from heaven at the wave of an invisible hand [of the market], it is necessary to walk from the future we dare to envisage resolutely back to the present we inhabit to determine what demands achieving such a vision would impose upon us, instead of embellishing the ‘here and now’ by cynically discounting the future to the [net] value of the present while disparaging, disowning and rewriting the past to unburden ourselves of its troubling legacy, as we continue to frivolously squander its capital to the alluring tunes of the ‘sirens who in the marketplace sing to us of the future’. The enabling mechanism for changing our valuing perspectives, Nietzsche tells us, lies dormant in us and it must be unlocked before it is too late.

Nietzsche'S Pragmatism - A Study On Perspectival Thought

by Pietro Gori

168,28€ + 10% CARD

 During his late period, Nietzsche is particularly concerned with the value that mankind attributes to truth. In dealing with that topic, Nietzsche is not primarly interested in the metaphysical disputes on truth, but rather in the effects that the "will to truth" has on the human being. In fact, he argues that the "faith in a value as such of truth" influenced Western culture and started the anthropological degeneration of the human type that characterizes European morality. To call into question the value of truth is therefore necessary, if one wants to help mankind to find her way in the labyrinth of nihilism. In this new addition to Nietzsche scholarship, Gori explores the origin and aim of the philosopher''slate perspectival thought by merging the theoretical with the historical approach, with a special focus on the epistemological debate that influenced Nietzsche. As a result, the book provides a contextual reading of the issue that supports the idea that Nietzsche’s attitude in addressing the problem of truth is, in a broad sense, pragmatic.

Reading Nietzsche Through The Ancients - An Analysis Of Becoming, Perspectivism, And The Principle Of Non-Contradiction

 <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html><head> <meta http-equiv=content-type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta content="mshtml 6.00.6000.21335" name=generator></head> <body> Nietzsches work was shaped by his engagement with ancient Greek philosophy. Matthew Meyer analyzes Nietzsches concepts of becoming and perspectivism and his alleged rejection of the principle of non-contradiction, and he traces these views back to the Heraclitean-Protagorean position that Plato and Aristotle critically analyze in the Theaetetus and Metaphysica IV, respectively. At the center of this Heraclitean-Protagorean position is a relational ontology in which everything exists and is what it is only in relation to something else. Meyer argues that this relational ontology is not only theoretically foundational for Nietzsches philosophical project, in that it is the common element in Nietzsches views on becoming, perspectivism, and the principle of non-contradiction, but also textually foundational, in that Nietzsche implicitly commits himself to such an ontology in raising the question of opposites at the beginning of both Human, All Too Human and Beyond Good and Evil. </body></html>

Nietzsche, Wagner, Europe

Many of his works are concerned with the present state and future of European culture and humanity. Resisting the nationalist nonsense and politics of dissolution of his day, he advocated the birth of good Europeans, i.e. supra-national individuals and the amalgamation of nations. Nietzsche, Wagner, Europe analyzes the development of Friedrich Nietzsches ideal of European culture based on his musical aesthetics. It does so against the background of contemporary searches for a wider, cultural meaning beyond Europes economic-political union. The book claims that Nietzsche always propagated the aestheticization of Europe, but that his view on how to achieve this changed as a result of his dramatically altering philosophy of music. The main focus is on Nietzsches passion for and later aversion to Wagners music, and, in direct connection with this, his surprising embrace of Italian operas as new forms of Dionysian music and of Goethe as a model of Good Europeanism. </body></html>

Nietzsches Meta-Existentialism

by Vinod Acharya

151,05€ + 10% CARD

 <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html><head> <meta http-equiv=content-type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta content="mshtml 6.00.6000.17114" name=generator></head> <body> Vinod Acharya presents a new existential interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy. He contends that Nietzsche's peculiar form of existentialism can be understood only by undertaking a thorough analysis of his characterization and critique of metaphysics. This reading remedies the shortcomings of previous existential interpretations of Nietzsche, which typically view existentialism as concerned primarily with the meaning of individual existence, and therefore necessarily at odds with the abstraction and objectivity of metaphysical thought. Acharya argues that the approach of Nietzsche's philosophy, especially in his mature works, is to make the typical existential position foundational, and then to develop to the fullest the implications of this position. This meta-existential approach necessarily yields an ambiguous and open-ended critique of metaphysics. Taking issue with the Heideggerian, the poststructuralist, and the naturalistic interpretations, this book contends that Nietzsche neither simply overcomes metaphysics nor remains trapped within its confines. Acharya argues that an ever-renewed encounter with and critique of metaphysics is an essential aspect of Nietzsche's meta-existentialism.</body></html>

Nietzsches Aphoristic Challenge

by Joel Westerdale

201,40€ + 10% CARD

 <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html><head> <meta http-equiv=content-type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta content="mshtml 6.00.6000.17122" name=generator></head> <body> The aphoristic form causes difficulty, Nietzsche argued in 1887, for today this form is not taken seriously enough. Nietzsches Aphoristic Challenge addresses this continued neglect by examining the role of the aphorism in Nietzsches writings, the generic traditions in which he writes, the motivations behind his turn to the aphorism, and the reasons for his sustained interest in the form. This literary-philosophical study argues that while the aphorism is the paradigmatic form for Nietzsches writing, its function shifts as his thought evolves. His turn to the aphorism in Human, All Too Human arises not out of necessity, but from the new freedoms of expression enabled by his critiques of language and his emerging interest in natural science. Yet the model interpretation of an aphorism Nietzsche offers years later in On the Genealogy of Morals tells a different story, revealing more about how the mature Nietzsche wants his earlier works read than how they were actually written. This study argues nevertheless that consistencies emerge in Nietzsches understanding of the aphorism, and these, perhaps counter-intuitively, are best understood in terms of excess. Recognizing the changes and consistencies in Nietzsches aphoristic mode helps establish a context that enables the reader to navigate the aphorism books and better answer the challenges they pose.</body></html>

The Surface And The Abyss - Nietzsche As Philosopher Of Mind And Knowledge

by Peter Bornedal

267,65€ + 10% CARD

 <html> <head><meta http-equiv=content-type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></head> <body> Peter Bornedal provides an interpretation of Nietzsches philosophy as a whole in the context of 19th century philosophy of mind and cognition. The study explains Nietzsches notion of truth; his epistemology; his notions of the split and fragmented subject, of master, slave, and priest; furthermore, it offers a new interpretation of the enigmatic eternal recurrence. It also suggests how important aspects of Nietzsches thinking can be read as a sophisticated critique of ideology. From studies in Nietzsches work as a whole, not least in his so-called Nachgelassene Fragmente, the book reconstructs aspects of Nietzsches thinking that have largely been under-described in especially the Anglo-Saxon Nietzsche-reception. The study makes the case that Nietzsche in his epistemology, his psychology, and his cognitive theory is responding to several scientific discoveries occuring during the 19th century. Read within the context of contemporary cognitive-psychological-evolutionary debates, Nietzsches philosophy is seen as far more scientistic, and far less poetical-metaphysical, than it has in recent reception-history been received. </body> </html>
