This book is an attempt to make sense of the tension in Nietzsche's
work between the unashamedly egocentric and the apparently
mystical. While scholars have tended to downplay one or other of
these aspects, it is the author's contention that the two are not
only compatible but mutually illuminating. This book demonstrates
Nietzsche's sustained interest in mysticism from the time of The
Birth of Tragedy right through to the end of his productive life.
This book argues against situating Nietzsche's religious thought in
the context of Buddhist or Christian mystical traditions,
demonstrating the inadequacy of attempts to mediate between
Nietzsche and Meister Eckhart and the Bodhisattva ideal of Mahayana
Buddhism. Rather, it is argued that Nietzsche's egoism and
mysticism are best understood in the intellectual context which he
himself avowed, according to which his "ancestors" were Heraclitus,
Empedocles, Spinoza, and Goethe.
