Shaping the Future maps out the ascetic practices of a Neitzschean
way of life. Hutter structures his argument around the belief that
Nietzsche, despite his ostensive enmity to Platonism and Socratism,
understood himself to be a Socratic and someone called upon by fate
to renew the Platonic task of being a philosophical legislator of
modern souls, culture, and political society. Hutter also considers
the paths of reasoning opened up by Pierre Hadot in his studies of
ancient philosophers as teachers of life and not just as providers
of 'true' opinions and doctrines about the world.Shaping the Future
applies the reasonings of Hadot to the work of Nietzsche, arguing
that Nietzsche himself, throughout his philosophical career,
conceived of doctrines as never identical to philosophy itself, but
instead as a means of self-creation that had to be related to
working on oneself. Hutter makes a great contribution to the study
of Nietzsche and the growing movement that sees philosophy as a
practical activity and way of life.
