The theme of the philosopher as therapist dominates Nietzsche's
entire opus, from his earliest writings to the Zarathustra period
and beyond. Nietzsche wishes to hasten the coming and future
sanctification of a new type of synthetic human being, and his
entire teaching is shaped by his own struggles against illness.Yet
few Nietzsche scholars have paid this crucial therapeutic element
of his thought sufficient attention. This collection of essays by
leading scholars in the field is composed around the Nietzschean
insight, which has its roots in the Hippocratic tradition of
ancient medicine, that beliefs, behaviours, ideals and patterns of
striving are not things for which individuals or even cultures are
responsible. Rather, they are symptoms of what an individual or
culture is, which symptoms require diagnostic interpretation and
evaluation. The book identifies three principal approaches in
Nietzsche's philosophy: diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic.
Each essay takes up this essential insight into Nietzsche's
therapeutic philosophy from a different perspective and
collectively they reveal an array of insightful approaches to
self-induced enhancement, for both individuals and cultures.
