Nietzsche S System

This book argues, against recent interpretations, that Nietzsche does in fact have a metaphysical system--but that this is to his credit. Rather than renouncing philosophy's traditional project, he still aspires to find and state essential truths, both descriptive and valuative, about us and the world. These basic thoughts organize and inform everything he writes; by examining them closely we can find the larger structure and unifying sense of his strikingly diverse views. With rigor and conceptual specificity, Richardson examines the will-to-power ontology and maps the values that emerge from it. He also considers the significance of Nietzsche's famous break with Plato--replacing the concept of "being" with that of "becoming." By its conservative method, this book tries to do better justice to the truly radical force of Nietzsche's ideas--to demonstrate more exactly their novelty and interest.

Nietzsche's Revaluation of Values is an assessment of Nietzsche's challenging plan to revalue all values, including knowledge, morality, religion, art, and the state. E. E. Sleinis analyzes the success of Nietzsche's enterprise as well as its inadequacies; among the positive contributions he singles out Nietzsche's theory of value, his conception of higher-order values, and his conception of the maximally affirmative attitude as creations of enduring importance.

The revolutionary philosophical text that denounces traditional dogma and calls on individuals to find meaning in their own moral systems. One of the most important works in the history of Western philosophy, Beyond Good and Evil consists of 296 sections and a final “aftersong.” Expounding on the ideas first introduced in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche articulates his views on philosophy, philosophers, morality, religion, society, people, and culture. Nietzsche’s central purpose throughout is to push the boundaries of moral philosophy beyond simplistic laws and the notion that all moral judgments can be reduced to a strict binary. First published in 1886, this trailblazing work has lost none of its power to confront and provoke. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

"A bracing, rollicking read about the spark that ignites when people start asking meaningful questions." —O Magazine Christopher Phillips is a man on a mission: to revive the love of questions that Socrates inspired long ago in ancient Athens. "Like a Johnny Appleseed with a master's degree, Phillips has gallivanted back and forth across America, to cafés and coffee shops, senior centers, assisted-living complexes, prisons, libraries, day-care centers, elementary and high schools, and churches, forming lasting communities of inquiry" (Utne Reader). Phillips not only presents the fundamentals of philosophical thought in this "charming, Philosophy for Dummies-type guide" (USA Today); he also recalls what led him to start his itinerant program and re-creates some of the most invigorating sessions, which come to reveal sometimes surprising, often profound reflections on the meaning of love, friendship, work, growing old, and others among Life's Big Questions. "How to Start Your Own Socrates Café" guide included.

A new 2023 translation into American English from the original manuscript of Nietzsche's 1886 Jenseits von Gut und Böse, or in English "Beyond Good & Evil".This unique edition is bilingual- the original text is included in the back as reference material behind the English translation. This is volume 7 The Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche from Newcomb Livraria Press. This chronological, systematic set of Nietzsche's works is the first ever bilingual "Hauptwerke" or complete major works of Nietzsche published in English & the original German. Beyond Good and Evil represents the apotheosis of Nietzsche’s Perspectivism, 'Will-to-Power' and anti-modern moral metaphysics. He argues for a shift to a moral system (which he refers to as an "immorality" in an Apollonian-Dionysian sense) based on the effect of an action on the living being, not based on intention nor any value determined by judgments rooted in history. Jenseits is his sharpest polemic against Christianity and the corresponding Meta-ethics (albeit, his Anti-Christianity exists primarily as Anti-Semitism as he was fond of Social Darwinism). This new "philosophy of immorality" is bound to 'Perspektivismus' and the Will-to-Power/ Wille zur Macht- an idea he adopted and modified from Schopenhauer- which refers to the instinctual knowing and cyclical self-renewal of the individual.

"A superb case of deep intellectual renewal and the most important book to have been written about [Nietzsche] in the past few years."—Gavin Jacobson, New Statesman Nietzsche's impact on the world of culture, philosophy, and the arts is uncontested, but his political thought remains mired in controversy. By placing Nietzsche back in his late-nineteenth-century German context, Nietzsche's Great Politics moves away from the disputes surrounding Nietzsche's appropriation by the Nazis and challenges the use of the philosopher in postmodern democratic thought. Rather than starting with contemporary democratic theory or continental philosophy, Hugo Drochon argues that Nietzsche's political ideas must first be understood in light of Bismarck's policies, in particular his "Great Politics," which transformed the international politics of the late nineteenth century. Nietzsche's Great Politics shows how Nietzsche made Bismarck's notion his own, enabling him to offer a vision of a unified European political order that was to serve as a counterbalance to both Britain and Russia. This order was to be led by a "good European" cultural elite whose goal would be to encourage the rebirth of Greek high culture. In relocating Nietzsche's politics to their own time, the book offers not only a novel reading of the philosopher but also a more accurate picture of why his political thought remains so relevant today.
