The question of Nietzsche's use of political theory has a long and
vexed history. The contributors of this book re-situate debates
around the notion of difference, in relation to historical and
scholarly concerns, but with a view to the current political
context. Given that today we are faced with a host of political
challenges of domination and resistance, the question raised in
this volume is how Nietzsche helps us to think through and to
address some of the problems. The authors also discuss how his
writings complicate our desire for swift solutions to seemingly
intractable problems: how to resist slavishness in thought and
action, how to maintain hard-won civil liberties and rights in the
face of encroaching hegemonic discourses, practices and forces, or
how to counteract global environmental degradation, in short, how
to oppose 'totalitarian' movements of homogenization,
universalization, equalization, and instead to affirm, both
politically and ontologically, a culture of difference.
