Nietzsche's strengths as a critic are widely acknowledged, but his
peculiar style of critique is usually ignored as rhetoric, or
dismissed as violent or simply incoherent. In this book,
Nietzsche's concept of the agon or Wettkampf, a measured and
productive form of conflict inspired by ancient Greek culture, is
advanced as the dynamic and organising principle of his
philosophical practice, enabling us to make sense of his critical
confrontations and the much disputed concept of transvaluation or
Umwertung. Agonal perspectives are cast on number of key problems
in his thought across a broad range of texts. Topics and problems
treated include: critical history and the need for a limit in the
negation of the past; Nietzsche contra Socrates and the problem of
closure; Nietzsche contra humanism and the problem of humanity;
Nietzsche contra Kant on genius and legislation; the problem of
self-legislation in relation to life and temporality; Nietzsche's
sense of community in its articulation with law, and the
normativity of taste; ressentiment and the question of therapy in
Nietzsche and Freud; and the problem of total affirmation in
relation to critique. These studies have a broad appeal, from MA
level to advanced Nietzsche research.
