Friedrich Nietzsche believed his own work represented the dawning
of a new historical era, and, despite the fact that he lived most
of his sane life suffering in obscurity, it is not an exaggeration
to say that his vision helped lay the foundations for modernism in
style, substance and attitude. Nietzsche was himself devoted to the
modern, for he reinterpreted every philosophy, every historical
figure and event, every movement that came before him. This
reconceptualization of the past through new, modern eyes opened up
Nietzsche's thinking to exploring daring possibilities for the
future. This prophetic boldness, which is so unique to his style,
seduced the modernist generation across the spectrum. He was read
by early Zionists as well as by Nazi racial theorists; by Thomas
Mann and as well as by Salvador Dali. His influence stretched from
psychoanalysis to anarchist politics. Understanding Nietzsche,
Understanding Modernism traces the effect of Nietzsche's thinking
upon a diverse set of problems: from ontology, to politics, to
musical and literary aesthetics. The first section of the volume is
a series of essays, each exploring a major work of Nietzsche's,
explaining its significance while contributing new interpretations
of the text. The middle portion connects Nietzsche's thought to the
various strands of modernism in which it reveals itself. The final
section is a glossary of key terms that Nietzsche uses throughout
his works. An excellent resource for any scholar attempting to
conceptualize the foundations of modernism or the historical
importance of Nietzsche, this volume seeks to outline the
philosopher's works and their reception amongst the generations
that immediately followed his passing.
