Despite being one of the greatest educators of the 19th century
(perhaps of the modern period) and one of the greatest moral
philosophers of all time, Nietzsche's educational thought and
works, with some notable exceptions, have been ignored, or remain
hidden and obscured. This was true of his philosophy as a whole and
its recent reception, first by French poststructuralist thinkers
during the 1960s and 1970s, and later by English-speaking
philosophers in the 1980s. The controversy surrounding Nietzsche
involves not only his style (his way of "doing" philosophy) and the
radical nature of his inquiries, but also the history of
Nietzscheanism, the politicization of the Nietzsche archive, and
his appropriation by the Nazis.
This international collection is unique in that it draws upon
these recent developments in the interpretation of thought and the
question of defining value in the era of postmodernity. The essays
address a range of topics, including the history of the reception
of Nietzsche's work, Nietzsche's early educational writings,
genealogy as method, ethics and difference, democracy, Nietzsche's
notion of self and its importance for education, the arts, the
limits of academic life, Nietzsche's critique of liberal education,
Irigaray's Nietzsche, and Nietzsche's critique of modernity and the
question of nihilism.
