Nietzsche, Biology and Metaphor explores the German philosopher's
response to the intellectual debates sparked by the publication of
Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species. By examining the abundance
of biological metaphors in Nietzsche's writings, Gregory Moore
questions his recent reputation as an eminently subversive and
(post-) modern thinker, and shows how deeply Nietzsche was immersed
in late nineteenth-century debates on evolution, degeneration and
race. The first part of the book provides a detailed study and
interpretation of Nietzsche's much disputed relationship to
Darwinism. Uniquely, Moore also considers the importance of
Nietzsche's evolutionary perspective for the development of his
moral and aesthetic philosophy. The second part analyzes key themes
of Nietzsche's cultural criticism - his attack on the
Judaeo-Christian tradition, his diagnosis of the nihilistic crisis
afflicting modernity and his anti-Wagnerian polemics - against the
background of fin-de-siecle fears about the imminent biological
collapse of Western civilization.
