This study of Hegel and Nietzsche evaluates and compares their work
through their common criticism of the metaphysics for operating
with conceptual oppositions such as being/becoming and
egoism/altruism. Dr Houlgate exposes Nietzsche's critique as
employing the distinction of Life and Thought, which itself
constitutes a metaphysical dualism of the kind Nietzsche attacks.
By comparison Hegel is shown to provide a more profound critique of
metaphysical dualism by applying his philosophy of the dialectic,
which sees such alleged opposites as defining components of a
dynamic. In choosing to study a theme so fundamental to both
philosophers' work, Houlgate has established a framework within
which to evaluate the Hegel-Nietzsche debate; to make the first
full study of Nietzsche's view of Hegel's work; and to compare
Nietzsche's Dionysic philosophy with Hegel's dialectical philosophy
by focusing on tragedy, a subject central to the philosophy of
both.
