This book explores Nietzsche's philosophical naturalism in its
historical context, showing that his position is best understood
against the background of encounters between neo-Kantianism and the
life sciences in the nineteenth century. Analyzing most of
Nietzsche's writings from the late 1860s onwards, Christian J.
Emden reconstructs Nietzsche's naturalism and argues for a new
understanding of his account of nature and normativity. Emden
proposes historical reasons why Nietzsche came to adopt the
position he did; his genealogy of values and his account of a will
to power are as much influenced by Kantian thought as they are by
nineteenth-century debates on teleology, biological functions, and
theories of evolution. This rich and wide-ranging study will be of
interest to scholars and students of Nietzsche, the history of
modern philosophy, intellectual history, and history of science.
